Volume 10 Chapter 23 – Final Days of the Lunar New Year
In the Ganwu Universe Country"s territory, an incomparably beautiful light red colored renowned planet called Fula planet existed. This was a notable planet because this is where a great undying stayed. This undying had a high position even within the virtual universe company.
On the planet.
Soldiers from the universe army that belonged to the virtual universe company were stationed here, and the most basic soldiers of this army were at least universe level.
"Hurry!"
"Hurry! the Ganwu auction is about to end. The 100 brothers that won the duels before, quickly enter the network and get ready to receive the important people."
"Haha, the auction has finally ended, the brothers have all been waiting."
Within the enormous army base, it suddenly got busy.
"Second brother, I heard that this auction has gathered all of the important figures in the universe country. I heard there are over a million sector lords! Even many undying, along with several youths with huge backgrounds. You have to help me look and tell me about it when you return. This time, even when we went outside the star field to the battlefield, we didn"t see many undying."
"Relax! Over a million sector lords…tsk, I"ll tell you about it slowly when I return."
"When the military service limit expired and we returned to the planet"s territory, I didn"t expect to get the chance to go take a gander at such a scene. I heard the lowest requirement for this Ganwu auction is to be a 3 star client, I may never get the chance to partic.i.p.ate in my whole life. This time, for the army to send me along with the other 99, I really am lucky."
"What"s the requirement to be a 3 star client?"
"I heard that the savings must reach 10 trillion universe dollars."
"My G.o.d! 10 trillion universe dollars? This…my entire territory only has a few hundred life planets. Even the number of digits doesn"t match."
Amongst the discussions of the universe level soldiers, 100 of the winners were proudly chosen to enter the virtual universe network.
Virtual universe, Ganwu continent, on one of the floating islands.
The main construct of the entire floating island was that enormous auction hall. At this time, under orders, human silhouettes began appearing there, swiftly dispersing and stationing throughout the important locations of the island. Among the total of over 1,000 people, even the service staff were all at least universe level!
"Carter, I heard these guests are mostly sector lords. Over a million sector lords."
"I"ve never seen so many sector lords together in my life."
Two male staff members dressed in service uniforms stood beside a small bridge, discussing in hushed voices and suppressing their excitement.
Universe level warriors…
Even though they could be considered tyrants and kings in several galaxies, when compared within the entire star field, their position was still very low. And in the vastness of the universe country, they didn"t amount to anything! Just the Ganwu Universe country alone with over a hundred million galaxies, there were over a million sector lords, just how many organizations were there?
Under the large amount of sector lord"s tutelage, the percentage of universe levels had grown much more.
The entire universe country with over a hundred million galaxies would have a minimum of 1 billion universe levels!! The soldiers that made up the armies sent outside the star field to battle were all at least universe level!
The universe soldiers were all very clear that within the entire universe country they were considered to be at the lower rungs of the ladder. Those partic.i.p.ating in the universe country"s greatest gathering…the guests of the Ganwu auction, those were the upper echelons of the universe country.
"The auction has officially ended and all the guests will be leaving directly. All staff members in charge of guiding them, remember your responsibilities. Your performance and contribution will be linked together." A cold voice swiftly resounded across within every staff member"s mind within the floating island. The two male staff members who were discussing before immediately stopped and stood at attention.
Hua!
All that could be seen from that distant, enormous, and totally beautiful auction hall"s exits were the large number of people who began to flow out. There were over 1.8 million guests, with over 99% of them being sector lords(a group of them even undying) along with several youths with huge backgrounds and wealth.
"Sir, this way to the teleportation spot. The other spots are used to sight see our floating island." The staff member said with a respectful smile.
"Ok."
Three huge tall and st.u.r.dy men walked side by side, glancing just once at the staff member. Their gaze however was filled with an immense willpower, causing the staff member to tremble within. "And this is only in the virtual universe. If it were in reality, with the huge willpower of the sector lords, just a gaze alone would be enough to make my spirit crumble."
The Sector lords exited one by one…
A sector lord here wasn"t worth anything. One would occasionally spot an existence even more terrifying than a sector lord, even though within the virtual universe they all had normal bodies. However, what made the staff respect them even more was the willpower of the undying infused within their bodies, the power that held the universe origin laws within it.
"There are too many sector lords, the two that pa.s.sed by were too scary. They must be undying!" All the staff members held their breaths.
"There"s a youth ahead, doesn"t seem like a sector lord though, much less an undying! Oh, he must be a youth with an enormous background." The staff grew even more cautious. When the black haired youth walked over, they smiled respectfully and said, "Sir, head this way to the teleportation spot, other directions will allow you to sight see our floating island."
"Ok." The black haired youth nodded slightly, smiling as he glanced at the staff member while heading towards the teleportation spot.
"He actually smiled at me? This youth really isn"t arrogant at all." The universe level staff member was excited. He was used to the cold expressions of the sector lords, occasionally getting greeted with a smile made him feel warm and appreciated.
Luo Feng followed the directions of the staff member and quickly reached the teleportation spot.
"Most of the guests here are sector lords. Even though it"s within the virtual universe, with their gaze that"s infused with their willpower,, they are still terrifying. These staff members have to be at least at the universe level or else they"ll lose their composure." Babata said.
"I didn"t feel that terrified." Luo Feng said.
"First of all, your will power is quite strong and your golden horned beast body is at universe level 6. Second, those sector lords will look at you as their equal. After all, in the universe, there are two types of people that are never to be offended. One is an absolute warrior and the other is those with huge background." Babata said, "And those who are weak but still come here as guests, usually are people with huge backgrounds."
Luo Feng nodded.
Without background and acquiring the treasures, one wouldn"t have a path to sell them!
"Sir, we welcome and thank you for attending this time"s auction. We also thank you for your support." An incomparably beautiful young lady with reddish brown hair smiled, that smile had within it a peculiar mesmerizing ability.
Under the gentle sound of her voice, Luo Feng stepped into the teleportation spot and during the time, he turned to glance at the floating island…
On the island were extremely courteous and respectful universe level staff members, along with many sector lords and undying!
"Coming here really does make one feel nervous." Luo Feng smiled and shook his head.
Shua!
His silhouette vanished.
To Luo Feng, joining this great gathering of the Ganwu Universe country, the Ganwu auction, it felt very much like a dream. And within the dream…those treasures and their worth were each comparable to a galaxy at least. Now, awakening from the dream, Luo Feng returned to his home, the Black Dragon Mountain star field within the Ganwu Universe Country, the Milky Way, within which was the little and unnoticeable plane Earth.
Fifteen days after the Ganwu auction ended, Luo Feng brough Di Fan in a universe s.h.i.+p and headed towards Bai Lan Star.
Bai Lan Star"s every peak was covered with snow.
Luo Feng walked ahead while Di Fan followed behind him. They were walking towards the beautiful s.h.i.+p while stepping on the snow., It was a s.h.i.+p belonging to the virtual universe company.
"Guest ident.i.ty confirmed, we can begin the exchange."
A robotic voice spoke.
The virtual universe company"s workers placed a huge box on the floor, Luo Feng waved and kept the box within his storage ring.
"Respected client, thank you for supporting our virtual universe company."
Luo Feng shook hands with a silver short haired youth, following which the two separated.Luo Feng and Di Fan swiftly flew back towards their s.h.i.+p.
"We"ve got the goods, let"s return to Earth!" Luo Feng ordered.
The s.h.i.+p rose into the sky and rushed out of the Bai Lan Star atmosphere, engaging in universe travel into the dark universe and heading towards the coordinates of Earth.
Within the s.h.i.+p"s control room.
A large box was placed there.
"I"ve spent close to 10 galaxies worth of wealth to buy these treasures." Luo Feng sighed. Beside him Di Fan smiled, "The more you invest, the more your returns. Master spent so much wealth this time, I believe he will get a hundred to a thousand times more in the future."
"Haha."
Luo Feng laughed as he walked boldly forward, opening the box. Pa! The first box was opened. Within it were several translucent boxes, every box had tender and lovely fruits with dew drops on them, which was the swelling water fruit. Even though it wasn"t one that could save a life, the swelling water fruit was still worth a few thousands of life planets.
"Pa!" The second box was opened. Within it was a large number of translucent boxes, and within them were more swelling water fruits.
Pa! The third box was opened.
Luo Feng"s eyes lit up.
What lay within it was a peculiar dark golden long rod, one of the 9 G.o.dly weapons for the spirit reader controller, the Nan Shen Armament! Luo Feng squatted down and extended his hand to touch that dark golden long rod, feeling its extreme cold, his heart was filled with antic.i.p.ation.
This Nan Shen Armament…will accompany him for the next thousand to ten thousand years!
"Pa!" Luo Feng turned around to open the last box, within it was the dark golden peculiar partial piece of skin that had peculiar engravings on it.
"The second clone!" Luo Feng"s eyes lit up, his heart burning with excitement.
In the universe, even though hard work and comprehension was important, talent and resources too were just as important.
One who was incomparably hardworking with high comprehension may be powerful within a galaxy.
However those with talent, back support, with wealthy resources, putting in the same amount of hard work and with comprehension, will definitely accomplish more!
"My aim, is to become an absolute warrior, one even amongst the undying, one that surpa.s.ses even my old teacher! This foundation, naturally the stronger it is the better." Luo Feng"s gaze burned, this partial piece of skin was going to be the conduit for his second clone. Once his second clone was formed, the golden horned beast could then focus on training the golden universe laws while the second clone could strive for the s.p.a.ce laws.
Luo Feng"s human body could then focus on the Nan Shen Armament skills.
With the three combined…
His accomplishments wouldn"t have a limit.
"I wont think too far ahead. Right, today is the 12th lunar month, there"s only a few days till the Chinese New Year. I should find presents for Ping Ping and Little Hai." Luo Feng rubbed his nose.
Volume 10 Chapter 24 – Movement
Earth, Asia, Hong Ning base.
"Third brother, why have you come here?" Hong was still dressed in all black.
"Big brother, didn"t you ask me to get you a life fruit the last time?" Luo Feng sat before Hong, picking up a cup of tea, his eyes gleaming as he drank, "Oh, good tea."
"Life fruit?" Hong seemed anxious with antic.i.p.ation.
Back then he witnessed for himself how Luo Feng"s cloud contact vine had grown immensely in strength after eating a life fruit.
"I didn"t get to buy a life fruit. However, I bought a hundred Swelling water fruits." Luo Feng explained, "This swelling water fruit has medicinal properties which are more gentle and your cloud contact vine will definitely absorb it well. These one hundred fruits, use one every ten days for the next three years. Once you finish all one hundred fruits, I guarantee that your cloud contact vine will be able to reach universe level 3 or 4."
"Oh?" Hong seemed delighted and surprised.
His cloud contact vine, first off, was weaker than Luo Feng"s.
Even Luo Feng"s cloud contact vine only became universe level 2 after eating the life fruit.
"Big brother, the main thing is when I went to partic.i.p.ate in this time"s auction, I had to spend quite a bit on a spirit weapon. Hence, I didn"t have enough to get a life fruit." Luo Feng apologized, "Of course, in terms of nurturing, these one hundred swelling water fruits added together do not pale in comparison to one life fruit."
"Haha…alright, I understand." Hong laughed, "We are brothers, there"s no need for so much talk."
Luo Feng laughed too.
With a wave of his hand, he took out a box and placed it directly on the table before them. Pa! The box was opened and in it were one hundred swelling water fruits.
"Looks very peculiar, they indeed are treasured fruits of the universe." Hong"s eyes gleamed.
"Without a doubt! The price of these one hundred swelling water fruits is comparable to an entire galaxy." Luo Feng creased his eyebrows, curious, "Right, why haven"t I seen second brother around recently?"
"Thunder G.o.d? Ever since he acquired the inheritance of sector lord Kabu, these past 2 years he"s been training under that Lord Wu." Hong smiled, "His strength has been growing quite quickly. Luckily, the training you"ve given me from the Yun Mo Planet has been fruitful and I"ve made some breakthroughs, otherwise I would have been surpa.s.sed already."
Luo Feng realized that the fighter training and techniques from the Yun Mo Planet weren"t weak at all. One had to know that the Yun Mo Planet master had 9 great undying underlings and a big half of them were fighters! Undying fighter techniques, how could they be weak?
The only difference was that the Thunder G.o.d had the living AI Lord Wu"s guidance, along with maybe some treasures and a.s.sistance!
And Hong, could only rely on his own comprehension and skills.
However, Hong"s comprehension had always been very high. Back then Mingyu had determined that Luo Feng and Thunder G.o.d belonged to the level 3 elite geniuses while Hong was a level 1 elite genius. Of course it has only been two years since then. Yet, ever since the golden horned beast broke through to the universe level, Luo Feng"s comprehension in the gold origin laws had huge improvements.
"Right, third brother. Recently, the number of skilled opponents within the slaughterhouse battle arena has increased by a large number. I don"t know what"s going on." Hong creased his eyebrows.
"Increased by a large number?" Luo Feng was shocked.
Recently, he had been busy with the auction. Hence, he had not been able to keep up with the situation at the slaughterhouse.
"Right, before I could easily defeat many opponents. However,these days, a large number of powerful geniuses have popped up. And these people rarely showed themselves before at the slaughterhouse battle arena." Hong said, "If a couple of geniuses popped up here and there, It would be nothing. But, with so many of them suddenly appearing, I feel like something might have happened."
"Hm?" Luo Feng was suspicious, not knowing what the reason was.
That battle arena, Luo Feng didn"t actually go to investigate it. Instead, he immediately began nurturing his second clone.
Within the vast golden continent, high above in the sky there was a layer of golden fog in the atmosphere, permeating through to the surrounding continent too.
With an area reaching 6,000km, right in the middle of sky, a black peculiar piece of skin suddenly appeared. This was the damaged piece of skin from the Mosha Clan that Luo Feng had won in the auction, albeit being only a small portion of it.
"Talent, cloning, nurture!"
With a thought the entire world began to rumble. As the tremors ran through, the huge land began to quake.
Chi!
That peculiar black skin immediately vaporized, leaving behind only a peculiar liquid. Amidst the mad quakes happening throughout the continent, the gold fog immediately began to gather towards the center, seemingly wrapping itself around that black liquid left behind by the vaporized skin, in an instant coagulating into an oval shaped golden egg.
"The nurturing process has begun, I don"t even know how long it"ll take before it completes." Luo Feng thought.
According to Luo Feng"s conversation with the auctioneer during the exchange, he came to know that the original owner was a universe level 2 Mosha Clan demon, and because of that Luo Feng could begin the nurturing.
The natural talent cloning, the golden horned beast only had three chances within its lifespan.
Right now it was the second time!
"The Mosha clan"s nurturing, compared to the initial nurturing of the earth human body, was tens of thousands to even hundreds of thousands times harder. And back then the internal world was a star level 1.Yet, right now the internal world was universe level 6. It was tens of thousands of times stronger than before." Luo Feng calculated, "After the first day, I should be able to deduce how long the nurturing will take."
Theoretically speaking, the stronger the original owner, the more elite the bloodline was. This also meant that it would require longer and more shocking the amount of time for the nurturing.
However…
"Weird, weird."
"Originally, I guessed that the nurturing would require decades to a hundred years. However, I never thought it would only require 3 years and 9 months." Luo Feng waited a day while using the information he gathered from within the internal world and the mysterious energies that surrounded the continent, he completely figured out the length of time required for the nurturing of the Mosha clan body.
Mosha clan, they weren"t of flesh and blood!
The rules for nurturing a flesh and blood body didn"t apply here.
As an energy life form, as long as the internal world was able to nurture the life crystal core, it would automatically unleash the energy and form its body! And as a special feature of the energy life forms…it could not only take human form, but also other forms and able to transform to almost anything easily.
"All it takes is to nurture the life crystal core, this Mosha clan is indeed special." Luo Feng thought.
The natural talent cloning, the moment it began, Luo Feng didn"t need to think twice about it, he only had to wait patiently.
The 12th lunar month, Chinese New Year came around quickly.
The entirety of China was engaged in ceremonies. Even during the Great Nirvana, with constant attacks by beasts, the citizens of China never forgot their most important celebrations…Chinese New Year. Luo Feng too had to stop reluctantly from his training and spend a few days with his family.
On the 9th day, early morning.
Outside of the Jiang Nan base, in the wilderness region, there were dilapidated and broken cities., Within a city which had been deserted for over 10 years, there was one skysc.r.a.per which was 28 levels high. On one of its loft, with a glimmer of light, a human silhouette appeared.
Dressed in dark red armor, feet in boots and carrying a peculiar dark golden long rod.
This dark golden long rod was over 2m long and was quite wide, to the point that 2 hands could barely grab it. With a diameter of about 15cm. The entire rod gave off an aura that made hearts palpitate. The aura it gave off occasionally caused the surrounding concrete city"s large amounts of beasts to steer clear of Luo Feng.
No beast dared to approach him.
"Wearing this Nan Shen Armament feels like carrying a mountain." Luo Feng could feel the pressure from the Nan Shen Armament he carried.
Normal level 1, 2 or 3 spirit weapons were fairly simple to use.!
However, higher level weapons were different. For example, unleas.h.i.+ng the strength of a level 5 weapon required one to first nurture it mentally and spiritually, leaving an imprint on the weapon itself.
"Treat it well and nurture it. Once it"s complete, the Nan Shen Armament will treat you as its master. Then you can begin your training." Babata said.
"Understood."
Luo Feng was worried about the armament"s aura affecting his family during the nurturing. Hence, he specially chose to head towards the wilderness region.
"The Nan Shen Armaments, nine levels of amplification." Luo Feng sat crossed legged, placing the long golden rod on his lap, "According to my level, I should be able to finish the first level."
The Nan Shen Armament was divided into nine levels, with each having more immense power than the previous. With the reputation being the strongest and also the weakest of the G.o.dly weapons, if one wasn"t a true genius, he would be better off using normal spirit weapons.
The first level, named ***
The second level, named the Sky piercing form.
The third level, named the Heavenly blade form.
The fourth: Skilled time.
The fifth: s.p.a.ce slice.
The sixth: Own world.
The seventh: One rod to tremor the earth and skies.
The eighth: Gold blade slicing through the void.
The ninth: Even undying isn"t a foe.
When Luo Feng found out the names of the 9 levels, especially the ninth form: Even Undying isn"t a foe, he was greatly excited. Because, whether it was the inheritance memories of the golden horned beast or the knowledge that Babata had imparted, from sector lord to undying, this was an incredibly huge breakthrough, one that would completely alter one"s soul and spirit! The true supremely qualitative breakthrough!
Undying, could easily destroy the pinnacle of sector lords!
Even the sector lord pinnacle golden horned beast, against an undying, had to lower its head.
However this ninth form actually says even an undying isn"t a foe, it was simply divine.
"It"s a pity that it"s extremely hard to reach the ninth form. Amongst the entire human races within the many universe countries, very few have actually reached the ninth form. The difficulty of completing the ninth form is even harder than reaching the undying stage." Luo Feng sighed. No matter what, right now he only had a hair"s width of understanding about the golden origin laws. As for the s.p.a.ce origin laws, he hadn"t even begun to understand them, he had to slowly work on it.
Luo Feng had immersed himself within the Nan Shen Armament to comprehend it. At that moment, within the Black Dragon mountain empire"s Imperial capital planet.
Imperial capital planet, within a floating castle.
"Have you found any information on Luo Feng yet?" Dressed in imperial gowns, the ninth prince sat in the throne and said coldly.
"No, back in the world within a world, he followed the 3 Axe Mountain and left. We only found out that he was part of the group under Lord Mingyu. We haven"t found anything else and we don"t know where he"s at." Below, a worker said respectfully.
"Get lost!" The ninth prince Bu Luo Lin ordered.
Lately, Bu Luo Lin had been in an extremely bad mood.
Since the world within a world incident, his grandfather Hargrey was the biggest loser of all! Not only did he not acquire the inheritance crystal ball, he lost almost all of his fortune. Also, he had offended many of the sector lords within the Black Dragon Mountain!
One must know that back in the world within a world, Bu Luo Lin commanded over 220,000 troops. Just where did these troops come from? The main thing was there was a group of sector lords that supported Hargrey from within the Black Dragon Mountain Sacred land. They handed their troops over to Bu Luo Lin to command and decided to support him unconditionally!
All they decided on were promises, which both Hargrey and the ninth prince have not been able to keep. The ninth prince, had even given treasures like the D6 Railguns to his grandfather, to settle with those sector lords.
However, there were over ten of them back then! The treasures the ninth prince had acquired were simply not enough! And with Hargrey himself being close to bankrupt, his mood was definitely not good from the beginning. As these sector lords still chased him about the promise from before, he raged and his mood got even worse.
Eventually, Hargrey lost his power within the sacred land.
Hargrey himself didn"t care much for the power and authority. As a sector lord, his own power was the most important. However…
Losing his power within the black dragon mountain sacred land had negatively affected the 9th prince"s position.
"Hmph!" Bu Luo Lin gritted his teeth, "Both big brother and third brother want to fight with me for the throne?" Thinking about the entire incident before, Bu Luo Lin grew even more enraged!
