Seeking Luo Feng's Help (6K)
In a private room of a restaurant in the Virtual Universe, Yu Xiang Mountain.
A lean young man dressed in bronze armor entered the private room, exuding a faint aura of menace and revealing a cold and bloodthirsty temperament.
Besides the waiter, there were only two people in the private room.
One was a tall, robust Wildman Youth Rong Jun.
The other is a handsome young man in Silver Battle Suit, Prince "Uka" of Manka Star Prince.
"Haha, the madman is here." Rong Jun stood up.
"Wow, you cultivation maniac, I've finally met you after all this time!" Uka laughed and gave Luo Feng a big bear hug.
"What?" Luo Feng stepped aside and smiled at Uka. "Why are you being so enthusiastic?"
"It's been so long since we last met." Uka grabbed Luo Feng's hand and sat down in the private room.
"You may leave now," Uka instructed the waiter.
"Yes."
The waiter respectfully withdrew and closed the door to the private room, leaving only Luo Feng, Rong Jun, and Uka Ka inside.
Uka took out a bottle of colorful jade. Inside the bottle was a transparent liquid that faintly emitted a scent that made one's whole body tremble.
"Tsk tsk." Luo Feng's eyes lit up.
"Wow, Divine Spirit Drunk, Uka, you're a true brother," Rong Jun laughed.
In reality, a bottle of Divine Spirit Drunk costs 8,000 Hun Yuan Unit, and in the Virtual Universe, it also requires 8 Hun Yuan Unit, which is a luxury for the three Cosmic level beings.
Uka began pouring drinks for the three of them, then looked at Luo Feng and said, "Luo Feng, are you still stuck on that Cultivation Mission? It's a Dangerous Level mission, and it's been over fifty years. If you can't complete it, just give up and take on another mission."
"I'm not trying to be mean, but wasting time is wasting your potential."
Over such a long period of time, everyone else has completed many Cultivation Mission, some even ten, but Luo Feng remains in the Blood Luo World.
"Yes, Uka makes a good point." Rong Jun nodded after hearing this, and looked at Luo Feng. "It's not good to always be stuck on one mission."
"In a few decades, it will be the Qualification Battle. Those old men have all passed the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge. We may all be eliminated and sent to the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm. The cultivation conditions in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm are much worse. We must cherish the time and opportunities we have now."
"Yes, those old men have all passed the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge, and they have been cultivating for a long time, have rich combat experience, and have many methods. Our chances are slim." As Uka said this, a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.
They were all new to the Virtual Universe Company, so their strength was far inferior to that of the older generation, and even compared to the top experts among the 300 older members of the Heaven and Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, they were still far behind.
This is a dilemma that every newcomer faces; there is absolutely no hope, and they are destined to be eliminated.
"I thought there was still a chance to surpass them, but now, the gap is getting bigger and bigger." Rong Jun's voice was deep, and his gaze was distant.
Although his words seemed nonsensical, the other two people present understood what he meant.
Uka couldn't help but sigh, "Back in the Genius Battle, Lin Yan was already so strong, but I never expected that after entering the Virtual Universe Company, his progress would be faster and faster. Now, in such a short time, he has already crossed the Original Tongtian Mountain, which is almost impossible to pass. It's really terrifying."
During the Genius Battle, Lin Yan displayed a breathtaking dominance.
However, while the rest of them were still at the bottom in the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm, Lin Yan had already far surpassed all the Domain Lord level members in the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company in terms of his Law Comprehension, and could be compared with the World Lord level members.
This speed of progress... is so fast it's simply astonishing.
Many of them come from unusual backgrounds and know that under normal circumstances, as newcomers, they will be looked down upon and even bullied by the older generation for a long time. This process has repeated itself countless times over the years.
But...
Uka and his new recruits had never encountered anything like this before, and the attitude of the older members was simply like a gentle breeze.
Because they dare not.
They know perfectly well who they are, and with Lin Yan's current reputation, who would dare to pretend to be ignorant?
If such a thing were to happen, and Lin Yan were willing to stand up for those newcomers, the consequences would certainly not be good.
"Too fast, his progress is just too fast." Rong Jun shook his head and sighed, "I originally thought that the Law Comprehension would become more difficult as you progressed, and since Lin Yan had a high Qidian, his speed would definitely slow down later, but I didn't expect..."
He sighed deeply, "That's truly perverted!"
Rong Jun, who was the first person to fight Lin Yan in the Genius Battle, once regarded Lin Yan as his greatest opponent. However, he has now been completely convinced and can no longer have such thoughts in his mind.
You have to admit it.
This talent is unheard of and unseen.
Uka smiled and said, "Bolan's talent is already very strong. I estimate that he is very likely to stay in the Original Secret Realm after the first Qualification Battle. He is fully worthy of the title of 'Ten Thousand Eras'. However, he is still worlds apart from Lin Yan."
"... Do you think Lin Yan, with such talent for cultivation, is really human?"
He himself was a member of the "Manka Race," a top-tier race among Cosmic Humans. In terms of talent, he was among the best of the Manka Race and possessed the highest human bloodline. However, he was still far inferior to Lin Yan.
Luo Feng sat to the side, simply smiling and saying nothing, but in his heart he thought, "Of course they are humans, and... still us Earthling."
He had long since come to terms with it, and he wouldn't be surprised even if Lin Yan did something truly outrageous.
He knew more about Lin Yan's situation than others. If he reacted the same way they did, he wouldn't need to cultivate anymore.
On another note, his own cultivation speed can be described as quite astonishing.
For years, he had been in the "Blood Luo Continent" of the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm. This was a vast continent born from the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm, suspended in the void. It was a powerful world that was born in the very early days, and its antiquity surpassed that of the oldest Universe Country of humankind.
Within the Blood Luo Continent, there exists an ancient battlefield with a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers, seemingly boundless. This was once the site where powerful figures from the Virtual Universe Company descended and waged war against the native powerful beings of the Blood Luo Continent.
It is known as the "Ancient God Ruins".
Luo Feng is currently cultivating in seclusion amidst the malevolent aura of the Ancient God Ruins. Through the transformation of this malevolent aura, he is enabling his body to fuse with more Blood Luo Crystal. His main focus is on comprehending the Second Diagram of the "Nine Universes Chaos Stele," titled "Fine Rain Diagram."
In a few more years, he is fully confident that he will have thoroughly understood the first 36 essentials.
And--
The improvement in his Law Comprehension was secondary; his strength had increased even more significantly because, after fusing with the Blood Luo Crystal, both his Earthling True Body and his Golden Horn Beast avatar underwent tremendous transformations.
At that moment, Babata's voice echoed in his mind.
"There is no doubt that Lin Yan is Earthling, but he must have had far better experiences than the Golden Horn Beast, otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to progress at such a rapid pace."
"Hmm." Luo Feng communicated with Babata's consciousness, "I was able to get to where I am today because of Special Encounters with the Golden Horn Beast and the Blood Luo Crystal. It's only natural that Lin Yan would have Special Encounters as well."
The vast universe is incredibly mysterious.
There are countless life forms in the universe. Without Special Encounters, how can one stand out from the crowd?
"Haha, Lin Yan has gone so far, we can't just forget about his back," Uka said with a laugh, raising his glass. "Let's work together, my family is hoping I can become King level Immortal someday."
"Haha, keep it up."
"Effort."
Luo Feng and Rong Jun also raised their glasses.
While the three of them were talking, Luo Feng suddenly received an email.
"Hmm?" Luo Feng looked at his email, saw the contents and seemed puzzled. Then he stood up and smiled, saying, "I have some things to attend to and need to leave now. I'll contact you another day."
"Okay, no need to see me off."
"Go ahead."
Rong Jun and Uka Ka were immersed in the Divine Spirit Drunk. They usually cultivated diligently and rarely had such a relaxing time.
"These two guys." Luo Feng chuckled, then walked out of the private room, but he didn't go far.
He walked along the wide, ancient streets of the Yu Xiang Mountain Public Zone, and after a moment, looked up at a luxurious hotel that covered several kilometers in length and width.
"Rong Zhuang!" Luo Feng walked into the hotel.
"Your Highness Luo Feng, please follow me!" A World Lord level woman with a fluffy tail immediately came forward, and without asking any questions, she smiled and led the way.
Luo Feng followed her into the hotel's internal staircase, which quickly ascended to the hotel's highest floor.
The top floor features an artificial lake surrounded by ancient trees, creating a very elegant atmosphere.
In front of the lake stands a noble and elegant dining table, its entire surface a dark gold. Beside the table are two chairs, from which one can overlook the surrounding buildings.
The top floor of Rong Zhuang offers fishing, swimming, and dining in a super-high-altitude area. It's a very luxurious place within Yu Xiang Mountain, where countless geniuses from the Virtual Universe Company gather. If you don't have the status, you simply can't book it.
"Your Highness Luo Feng, I shall take my leave now." The female World Master bowed slightly and then departed.
Luo Feng didn't pay any attention, but smiled and walked towards the dark gold dining table, where a young man was already waiting for him.
"Haven't seen you for a long time."
The young man had a handsome face, as dazzling as light, which seemed to brighten the entire world around him. When he saw Luo Feng, he showed a warm, sunny smile.
After Luo Feng took his seat.
Lin Yan stood up, picked out a drink from the wine rack next to him, filled their glasses, and asked with a smile, "I heard you're still on the Blood Luo Continent. How are you? The Qualification Battle is in about forty years. Are you confident about entering the Original Secret Realm?"
"Original Secret Realm?" Luo Feng shook his head and said with a smile, "You're giving me too much credit."
He doesn't even have the ability to cross the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge, while five top experts among the Cosmic level members of the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm crossed the seventh level thousands of years ago, yet they still cannot enter the Original Secret Realm.
"I'm not as exaggerated as you. I'm absolutely confident that I won't be eliminated in the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm during the Qualification Battle, but I definitely can't do it in the first Qualification Battle if I want to enter the Original Secret Realm."
The resources obtained by Primal Secret Region Member are astonishing. At the Cosmic level, there are even Marquis-level Immortal as teachers, and they can take on more Cultivation Mission.
When Primal Secret Region Member is at the Domain Lord level, the higher the rank they can attain when deployed outside the domain, and a high rank represents astonishing power, which in turn represents wealth, opportunity, and strength!
The benefits of being World Master are even more astonishing. The cost of cultivating each World Master by the Virtual Universe Company would probably bankrupt even Feng Wang level Immortal!
As time went on, the resources poured into the Virtual Universe Company became increasingly astonishing. Those geniuses cultivated at the Cosmic level for thousands of years and at the Domain Lord level for tens of thousands of years, all in order to go further in the future. They all wanted to enter or stay in the Original Secret Realm.
Lin Yan picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said, "I will break through to the Domain Lord level before the qualifying Qualification Battle, so I won't take up a spot. If you're not confident, then remember to wait until you're ready, choose the 'Demon Mountain' at the Desperate level, go to Magic Sound Mountain, and try your best to enter the Original Secret Realm in your first Qualification Battle."
"Demon Mountain?" Luo Feng asked, somewhat puzzled. "Is that the mission you carried out in the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm before?"
He has not yet learned about the details of the Desperate Level Mission.
"Yes," Lin Yan said. "I learned some information during my mission. There is a very important inheritance there. You have the Moshazhu Race and the Golden Horn Beast clone, so your survival ability is far superior to others. You can go and explore it."
"Okay." Luo Feng nodded solemnly.
"Speaking of which, you actually emailed me asking for my help. What's the matter?" Luo Feng grinned.
Lin Yan also smiled and said, "Yes, there is indeed something I need your help with, and it can't be done without you."
"Hmm?" Luo Feng asked curiously.
"I need all the secret techniques related to the talent 'Devour' from your Golden Horn Beast inheritance memories," Lin Yan said, getting straight to the point.
"All the secret techniques related to the 'Devouring' talent?" Luo Feng, somewhat puzzled. "Those secret techniques were created based on insights gained from the Talent Secret Method. Except for the Golden Horn Beast, none of them can be cultivated. Lin Yan, do you need them?"
"Yes." Lin Yan nodded. "I'm encountering some problems in my cultivation right now, and I need to learn from these secret techniques, not for the sake of cultivation, but to refer to their creative ideas."
Since he has decided to combine his talent "devouring" with "Black Hole Force Field", he will do so, but relying solely on his personal wisdom will inevitably take more time.
Learning by analogy is an essential process.
However, although the human race itself is divided into countless races, it does not have any Talent Secret Method similar to "devouring". Even if it did, if the race is not powerful, there would be no secret techniques worth learning.
The Feathered Race have so many secret techniques for using wings because of their own strength.
But--
The Golden Horn Beast is Starry Sky Beast that devours other creatures; in fact, it could be said that, among non- Special Lifeform, it represents the pinnacle of devouring life.
They are of noble lineage, producing countless powerful individuals. Their bloodlines contain ancient inherited memories, and they possess 18 special secret techniques and 3199 ordinary secret techniques.
These 3199 common secret techniques were created by the Golden Horn Beast through their own insights or by drawing inspiration from the secret techniques of countless races, such as humans and Mechanical race. The secret techniques themselves can only be practiced by the Golden Horn Beast, but most of them are based on the secret techniques of other races.
Other races also have similar secret techniques, although there are some differences, but the differences are not significant.
Furthermore, the 18 special secret techniques were specifically created for the Golden Horn Beast, and even if they were spread, other races would not be able to modify or cultivate them.
"But I don't need to modify or cultivate it; I only need to learn from their ideas on using the 'devouring' talent," Lin Yan thought to himself.
"No problem." Luo Feng agreed without any hesitation. "I will organize and summarize it later, and then Babata will transmit it to you."
He certainly couldn't refuse something like this.
This poses no threat to Luo Feng himself. Besides, the Golden Horn Beast was originally Lin Yan's spoils of war.
Although the exchange was supposed to be for the "Yun Mo Star Inheritance," the most precious item in the Yun Mo Star Inheritance, the "Soul Seal," would only be worth 10,000 points in the Treasure Vault. The value of this "transaction" was far too low.
Prison.
Lin Yan was hiding in a secluded cave on one of the peaks of a mountain range.
Because his subsequent cultivation would require relying on his own Talent Secret Method, he could no longer continue in the Virtual Universe, and it would be inconvenient for him to continue traveling. His previous plans had to be postponed.
Lin Yan's main focus should be on "The Primordial Beginning" at the moment. He needs to see the difficulty of cultivation and whether he can achieve certain results in a short period of time before making a decision.
Judging by the timeline, he has now completed his survival mission in the "Purgatory Abyss," but that was not Lin Yan's main objective, and he didn't care.
As for breaking through to the Domain Lord level, Lin Yan was unsure of what the clan would do for him after that, so he wasn't in a hurry. If "The Primordial Beginning" truly achieved a major breakthrough, it would be of great significance to him.
This secret technique, which even Universe Venerable find difficult to master, could, if mastered to the first level, bring about a dramatic change in his strength.
In A World of the World Ring.
"Wind Queen, project all the Golden Horn Beast secret techniques transmitted by Luo Feng," Lin Yan ordered, standing on the land.
"Yes, Master."
Beside him, a silver-white Pyramid Ship was parked. At this moment, the spaceship emitted a hazy light, which eventually formed countless characters in mid-air containing the contents of cultivation secrets. For a moment, the countless characters almost blotted out the sky.
"The Golden Horn Beast is Starry Sky Beast that devours other creatures. It certainly has many secret techniques for devouring. However, Luo Feng in the original story did not choose to go in this direction. Instead, he focused his energy on claw techniques and wing techniques."
The higher the level of the Starry Sky Beast, the more advanced and vast its inherited memories. Even ordinary secret techniques from the Golden Horn Beast's inherited memories are probably created at least by someone at the level of Marquis King Rank.
Countless powerful beings throughout history have explored various aspects of the Golden Horn Beast to create these secret techniques, which are all-encompassing and provide guidance in all areas. However... to master these secret techniques, one still needs to cultivate them oneself.
Luo Feng's energy was limited, so he chose claw techniques and wing techniques for the Golden Horn Beast. Although this could not bring out the advantages of a devouring Starry Sky Beast, it was the most suitable for Luo Feng.
Because Luo Feng could use both claw techniques and wing techniques, but he couldn't do that with the Devouring Secret Technique. Moreover, Luo Feng had the Supreme Treasure "Slaying Wu Wings" at that time. Even if it were Lin Yan, he would have made the same decision.
"There are 322 common secret techniques and 5 special secret techniques."
Lin Yan stared at the countless characters in the air, his eyes shining. His consciousness processing, which surpassed that of an intelligent Light Brain, allowed him to continuously memorize them. "These secret techniques are all performed through or related to the 'devouring' talent of the Golden Horn Beast. Many of them are borrowed from other races and are the essence of the Golden Horned Beast Clan's cultivation knowledge. I hope they can be of some help to me."
Lin Yan extended his left arm, revealing a small, exquisite Black Armguards covered with complex Law Secret Patterns.
"Click!"
The surface of the arm guard suddenly cracked, revealing an energy groove inside. Lin Yan took out the Star Flame Crystal from it.
Call!
A dazzling, fiery red crystal instantly flew into the sky.
At first glance, this fiery red crystal appears to be spherical, but it actually has a full 10,081 facets. Spatial Law Secret Patterns are fixed on it, and its brilliant radiance flows strangely, as if it were burning with a raging fire.
Lin Yan had already refined the Star Flame Crystal. With a thought, the spatial Law Secret Patterns on the Star Flame Crystal lit up.
Boom!
The fiery red crystal instantly transformed into a massive fireball hundreds of kilometers in diameter, hovering in the air. Endless flames swirled around the surface of the fireball, causing the temperature of the surrounding space to rise rapidly, distorting the space itself, and emanating a chilling pressure.
Like a star suspended in the air, every cell in Lin Yan's body cheered with joy.
This is related to the structure of the "Star Flame Crystal," which is an energy crystal created by compressing an entire star and combining it with the principle of "A World."
The energy concentration is extremely high, and its true form is this enormous fireball with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers.
A glint of light flashed in Lin Yan's eyes. He transformed into a stream of light, soared into the sky, and entered the giant fireball.
The Yongluo Armor and Tai Sui Armor on his body instantly disappeared, revealing his skin, which was faintly translucent and covered with incredibly tiny secret patterns, like a jade carving.
This is to avoid the influence of any other factors; the extreme high temperature inside the giant fireball cannot have any effect on Lin Yan.
"Devour!" Lin Yan's eyes were calm as he delved into the core area, sitting cross-legged amidst the endless flames.
Call!
The Transparent Crystal inside the body rotated slowly, as if carrying the rhythm of life, like breathing.
"Boom..." An overwhelming force of attraction was released from every cell in the body, frantically devouring the Stellar Energy. The surging energy was like a collapsing ocean, pouring out wildly.
Instantly, the surrounding space completely distorted, and curves shimmering with black light formed vortexes that seeped into the giant fireball.
At the same time--
Lin Yan's Mental Power spread out completely, and outside the giant fireball, millions of Feather Blade were activated, frantically consuming the absorbed energy in a continuous cycle.
Lin Yan devoted all his energy to the research on "The Primordial Beginning," even putting aside his Law Comprehension, and immersing himself in it without sleep.
The secret techniques of those Golden Horn Beasts were created from the insights of powerful Golden Horn Beast throughout history. Although Lin Yan could not cultivate them, they were not difficult to understand.
Because the "devouring" mainly relies on the application of Space Law, rather than the Gold Law, and Lin Yan has fully comprehended the 108 kinds of Space essence, so there are no obstacles to his understanding.
Although the various ingenious ideas were not applicable, they gave Lin Yan endless inspiration. He combined them with the various secret techniques of "Black Hole Evolution" and constantly experimented with them, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the cultivation of "Primordial Beginning".
Cultivation knows no time...
Amidst the endless flames, Lin Yan sat cross-legged, like a true ascetic.
One year, two years, three years... Time kept passing, but he got closer and closer to his ultimate goal.
