Pu Ti: The Gap Between Lin Yan and Luo Feng Is Too Vast!

In the vast starry sky, two seemingly colorful planets are orbiting a star.

Viewed from outer space, the two planets appeared to be shrouded in a thin mist, one faintly appearing pale green and the other faintly appearing bluish-green.

That azure-blue planet was naturally the Imperial Capital Star of the Canglan Empire.

The other pale green planet was named "Jiuzhou Star". As the core of Jiuzhou Company's expansion of its offline business empire, it is now the most prosperous commercial planet among the surrounding star fields!

Even Immortal God and World Master can find the rare treasures they need here.

The subsidiaries of Virtual Universe Company are divided into Third-level Subsidiary Company, Second-level Subsidiary Company, First-level Subsidiary Company, and Special Subsidiary Company.

The standard for measuring the classification is the company's net assets, which are 1,000 Hun Yuan Unit, 100,000 Hun Yuan Unit, 10 million Hun Yuan Unit, and 1 billion Hun Yuan Unit respectively!

The Commerce Department of Virtual Universe Company, as an important department on par with the Martial Department, once a manager reaches the Second-level Subsidiary Company, is qualified to officially become Core Member Virtual Universe Company. They will have a residence in the "Doomsday Zone" of Yu Xiang Mountain in Virtual Universe, as well as a residence in the Doomsday Secret Realm, and will be eligible to apply to go to the Doomsday Secret Realm.

The First-level Subsidiary Company and the Special Subsidiary Company are members of "Heaven and Earth Secret Realm" and "Primordial Beginning Secret Realm", respectively.

The unique aspect is that these Core Member of the Commerce Department do not have the right to comprehend the Chaos Stele, cannot carry out Cultivation Mission, and do not need to participate in Qualification Battle. Their promotion or elimination is solely based on the company's rank standards.

When Jiuzhou Company was first acquired by Virtual Universe Company, which then held a 51% controlling stake, it was still only Second-level Subsidiary Company.

However, as Lin Yan's influence increased, the branches of various Universe Country were willing to promote it, and the number of users of "Kunlun" grew wildly. Based on the data from the Ganwu Branch, Purple Lightning Marquis made an assessment and predicted that within 20,000 years, "Kunlun" would be among the top ten virtual games.

Therefore... the profits it can obtain are extremely astonishing, and its valuation has long exceeded the threshold of "Special Subsidiary Company".

As for the two Core Member spots that Lin Yan originally wanted, Wen Zhi'an and Xu Xin are now members of the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm.

Although they don't need to go to the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm to cultivate, the welfare benefits in the Doomsday Zone are very different from those in the Tai Chu Zone. In the Doomsday Zone, they just live in a dormitory building and are given an apartment, while in the Tai Chu Zone, they have their own exclusive cultivation grounds, exclusive learning grounds, and so on.

After Luo Feng was released to the Domain Lord level, he returned to the Ganwu Universe Country and chose to reside permanently on the planet Jiuzhou Star. The Virtual Universe Company would modify the permanent residence planets of geniuses to ensure absolute safety within the planet.

This can be considered a legitimate use of the rules to take advantage of the company.

As a planet with a strong commercial atmosphere, Jiuzhou Star also has the strictest supervision of order. It has a total of 108 magnificent cities, each of which has a Cosmic Galaxy Bank. The entire planet also has a large branch of Virtual Universe Company.

However, the city in the center has no commercial atmosphere. It is the only residential area on Jiuzhou Star. People who can live here are either rich or noble. Even the most ordinary house can be used to buy more than a dozen Life Planet in some star systems.

At the heart of the site lies a luxurious manor, the residence of the newly appointed Inspection Envoy of the Ganwu Branch, "Luo Feng".

The cultivation chamber.

Luo Feng stroked the Black Metal Plate in his hand, his brows furrowing slightly.

"With my current level of access, I cannot find any information about this substance. It should be extremely special."

At this time, the Moshazhu Race's clone had already left Earth and returned to Jiuzhou Star.

During his time on Earth, the Moshazhu Race clone had been studying the metal plate, but couldn't discern anything unusual about it.

"Even the memories passed down through generations of the Golden Horn Beast cannot be found here, this metal plate is definitely not ordinary." Luo Feng stared at it.

It's a treasure!

Absolutely a treasure!

"In that case, let's try using telekinesis. Perhaps there's something special about it." Luo Feng's mind stirred.

As soulless Energy-type Lifeform, the Moshazhu Race has no concept of telekinesis.

Hiss...

Invisible, colorless, and incredibly fine threads of psychic energy gently swept across the Black Metal Plate.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng's expression changed.

The psychic threads didn't "touch" the metal plate at all; it was as if the metal plate was air. Instead, they penetrated directly into the interior of the Black Metal Plate, creating layers of resistance.

What's inside?

Luo Feng manipulated his telekinetic power.

Hundreds of strands of telekinesis, like embroidery needles, struggled to penetrate the Black Metal Plate as they encountered layers of obstacles.

When he could no longer go any deeper, Luo Feng released his mental power using the power of his Origin Core World Lord level soul. His Domain Lord level 9 human body was able to withstand it without collapsing.

Moment--

The obstacles inside the Black Metal Plate in Luo Feng's hand were drilled through layer by layer.

"Boom..."

"My child." A majestic voice echoed in Luo Feng's mind, and instantly his consciousness was drawn into the illusion contained within that voice.

As the mysterious voice rang out, illusions appeared one after another. Even though Luo Feng kept breaking through the illusions, more and more illusions were created, giving him a nightmare feeling of being trapped in a bottomless abyss from which he could not climb out.

For a long time--

After nearly ten thousand illusions were broken, the endless chain of illusions finally collapsed automatically.

Luo Feng trembled, his face contorted in a grimace, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"Holy crap, I've never encountered this kind of illusion before." He gritted his teeth, still feeling lingering fear as he looked at the Black Metal Plate in his hand.

Most illusion techniques directly target the human heart, using desires, inner thoughts, and so on to trap people in an illusion from which they cannot extricate themselves. But this is purely an illusion that bullies people!

It was as if Immortal God was toying with Apprentice Level; there was absolutely no room for resistance.

"Something seems to have changed." Luo Feng took a deep breath, and his mental power continued to penetrate deeper into the black metal. Suddenly, text messages began to merge into Luo Feng's mental power and were detected by Luo Feng.

A moment later, the text message transmission ended.

Meanwhile, in an incredibly distant and dangerous place, deep within endless air currents, a solitary palace, faintly emitting bursts of blue light, floats suspended.

The main hall.

"Hmm?" The towering old man, over 90,000 kilometers tall, stood at the very front of the center of the main hall. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked in a certain direction, as if he could see Luo Feng in the Jiuzhou Star through endless time and space.

"Luo Feng... the final candidate from Earth lineage to inherit the Nine Tribulations Scripture has appeared." The imposing old man wore seemingly ordinary blue armor, with transparent horns on his forehead, and an endless aura enveloped the entire hall.

Once the results were in, this powerful Alien Race no longer paid attention to the matter. The Heavenly Soul Crystal could only be passed down to one person, and unless Luo Feng perished, there could be no further changes.

Only when Luo Feng successfully recognizes the Star Tower as his master will he be qualified to become the leader of the Earth lineage and his third disciple. Before that, he is just the third candidate and not worth the effort of the Mountain Master.

He instructed, "Pu Ti, I'm entrusting the task of guiding him to acknowledge the Star Tower as his master to you from now on."

The Star Tower is the most dangerous place in the Outer Domain Battlefield. Candidates must be able to wear the King Armor to have a chance to enter it. If they are only at the World Lord level, they will definitely need the follow-up content of the "Nine Tribulations Scripture", which requires Pu Ti to arrange and guide them.

The universe is so vast, how can there be so many coincidences?

Pu Ti, who was perched to one side, respectfully replied, "Yes, teacher."

The imposing old man looked down at him, his voice booming and penetrating deep into Pu Ti's heart. "Do you still favor Lin Yan more?"

Pu Ti bowed deeply. "Teacher, I have no intention of being disobedient in the slightest. With your insight, you are sure to see things more profoundly than I do!"

That's what they say, but the underlying meaning is quite obvious.

Compared to Luo Feng, Lin Yan has advantages in every aspect, and even his character is beyond reproach.

In Pu Ti's view, after billions of years of waiting, the most outstanding being born from the Earth lineage, apart from Lin Yan, is unmatched.

Pu Ti also hopes that the final result will be Lin Yan.

He felt that with Lin Yan's rate of progress, it wouldn't be long before he began to recognize the Star Tower as his master, thus proving once again whether this was something that could be achieved by humankind.

Instead of waiting for a long time and seeking a vague hope.

However, such matters are naturally decided by the teacher, and he has no right to interfere.

"I know that the human race trusts this peerless genius more, and this mindset has influenced you as well," the towering old man said in a deep voice. "That's why you think Luo Feng is inferior to Lin Yan, but... you're wrong."

Pu Ti was taken aback.

What did he do wrong?

Could it be that Luo Feng possesses some other talent that he is unaware of?

"Special Life Clone? A heaven-defying compatibility with the laws? These are important, but not the most important," the towering old man said. "With the Nine Tribulations Scripture, why should I care about his talent?"

Pu Ti's eyes lit up immediately.

He was so focused on weighing Lin Yan and Luo Feng that he didn't consider this point at all.

The imposing old man said, "What I need is a disciple with a strong will, a disciple who can successfully accept the Life and Death Inheritance. As long as someone can do it, no matter who they are from the Earth lineage, as long as they can do it, they will be the leader of the Earth lineage."

"From the moment he became my disciple, he was qualified to be among the super strong in the universe! Because the two Supreme Treasure I prepared for him are the Jie Jia and the Star Tower!"

The imposing old man shook his head. "If one cannot traverse the path of life and death, then one is destined to perish. But if one can recognize the Star Tower as the master, how could he be inferior to any genius in this vast universe?"

"This Heavenly Soul Crystal was clearly placed around Lin Yan's house. In terms of strength, Lin Yan was also stronger, but in the end, it was Luo Feng who discovered it, obtained Luo Feng accepted the inheritance. This proves that... Lin Yan did not have the luck and did not seize this opportunity."

Upon hearing the old man's words, Pu Ti suddenly understood.

So this is what the teacher meant by "the value of choice".

Lin Yan had several opportunities to seize this matter, but Luo Feng ultimately got them. So... even though Luo Feng was inferior to Lin Yan in many ways, from this moment on, his life had infinite possibilities.

How powerful is the Nine Tribulations Scripture?

Luo Feng is currently an ordinary human, but after cultivating the Nine Tribulations Scripture, he will transcend the Universe Rule and become a unique, Defying Heaven Special Lifeform form in the future!

Once you acknowledge the Star Tower as your master, you will possess an unparalleled Ultimate Supreme Treasure, Palace Supreme Treasure that even the human race lacks, and you will also become a core disciple of a master, one of the most Peak Existence in the universe.

What an extraordinary turn of events!

No matter how talented Lin Yan is, it's not enough to bridge the gap, and he's destined to be left behind by his former companion!

Pu Ti even felt a pang of sympathy.

"If he knew what kind of earth-shattering opportunity he had just missed, he would surely live in pain and regret for the rest of his life."

Pu Ti sighed inwardly, "Once he gets past this last hurdle, Luo Feng will surely soar to great heights, and even... all the accolades Lin Yan has worked so hard to achieve over the years will be replaced by him."

"This is the value of choice, and also the price of choice!"

He deeply understood how powerful the teacher in front of him was. Even he himself was originally just Immortal God, but after being taken in as a servant by the teacher, he became the master of the universe over countless years. Pu Ti couldn't even imagine how far Luo Feng would go once he really became the leader of the Earth lineage!

With just the Star Tower, they are invincible in the world.

Lin Yan's talents, though amazing, paled in comparison to this.

The difference is just too big!

"Step down," the imposing old man's voice boomed.

"Yes, teacher." Pu Ti respectfully withdrew from the hall.

The powerful Alien Race figure flashed and sat on the throne in the main hall, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

While his previous explanation to Pu Ti had some merit, the most crucial question remained unanswered: why intervene in the first place?

This is something he shouldn't even be concerned about.

If we follow Pu Ti's idea, during Lin Yan's more than sixty years on Earth, he would have already arranged for the Heavenly Soul Crystal to be in Lin Yan's hands, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?

Why bother about the value of the choice?

"It's good that he's not the ultimate successor."

The Mountain Master narrowed his eyes. "On Earth, the Primal Universe Will endowed humanity with the Strongest Bloodline capable of reproduction, and this bloodline happens to have a special connection with the star."

" At the Planetary level, one can easily move freely within stars, from which one obtains the top-tier Origin Supreme Treasure core material 'Light Web Crystal,' and is once again granted the Clone Talent by the Primordial Universe."

"After leaving Earth for adventure, he easily obtained the Treasure Hoard of a World Lord peak, and even nurtured the Special Lifeform Green Line Devouring Worm into an avatar."

"I don't know what happened after he joined the Virtual Universe Company, but judging from his situation, he must have had many opportunities to achieve what he has today in such a short time."

The imposing old man shook his head as he thought of this, "Even the Ancestor God Cult, which is favored by the Primordial Universe Origin Will, has never had such astonishing fortune!"

Opportunities are indispensable on the path to becoming a strong person. Every super strong person who has reached this point has had various amazing opportunities.

But for someone like Lin Yan, this is beyond what can be described by mere circumstances; anyone who sees it would be terrified.

"The Primordial Universe represents the Life Origin and has infinite possibilities," the Mountain Master thought to himself. "Any kind of life can be born. I was able to guide and nurture the Flame God and the Earth's two lineages. What difficulty would it be for the Primordial Universe's Origin Will to create a Lin Yan?"

His heart sank slightly. "The Reincarnation Technique, although it is a secret technique permitted by the Supreme Rule, is not the Origin Continent after all. I have retained my previous memories, my realm is extremely high, and my will is extremely strong. Therefore, the Supreme Rule restrict me, and the Origin Will is watching me at all times, never letting its guard down for a moment."

"I have never dared to give the Origin Will any handle. This Lin Yan is very likely a scheme by the Origin Will against me. I only know a little about the Supreme Rule. If I accidentally touch the Supreme Rule, the Primordial Universe will definitely take the opportunity to suppress me."

In fact.

As the Reincarnation of a God King, the Origin Will was extremely afraid of him, because if he were allowed to grow, with the will of King of Gods level, he could easily Body Seizure of the Primordial Universe.

Therefore, he was restricted in every way in the Primordial Universe. The Origin Will regarded him as the greatest enemy. The Mountain Master did not even dare to fight anyone with all his might and was very wary of the Supreme Rule.

This time, he hadn't even considered Lin Yan at all, but due to the pride of a god-king, this situation ultimately arose.

If it were Luo Feng, there would be nothing to say.

However, if it were Lin Yan, the Mountain Master would be wary and would want to take the opportunity to find out the reason behind it.

Of course, killing Lin Yan was out of the question.

Let alone doing it himself, he wouldn't even think about it. If there were anything he didn't know about, with the Origin Will will watching him all the time, nothing could be hidden from him. He might just be completely suppressed by the Primordial Universe.

However, since the final result is Luo Feng, there's nothing to worry about.

Just like I told Pu Ti before.

Those who cannot recognize the Star Tower as their master are destined to perish.

Being able to recognize the Star Tower as its master is an incredible stroke of luck; defeating Lin Yan would be an extremely simple matter.

This is his most basic confidence as the Jin Zhi God King.

The Milky Way Galaxy, Earth.

In a quiet courtyard.

"I didn't expect you to come to me about this." Lin Yan sat cross-legged in front of the pavilion, quietly sipping his tea. After putting down his teacup, he transmitted his thoughts.

Luo Feng solemnly declared, "I'm telling the truth!"

"After I took this metal plate back, I finally discovered its secret. I obtained a very mysterious cultivation manual from it, which contained more than 30,000 words. The whole text was incomplete, but its contents were a secret method to make the body's genes evolve on their own!"

"As long as you cultivate this heaven-defying secret technique, even after reaching the limit, you can still actively cultivate and promote the evolution of your body. I obtained this right in front of your house, so I cannot hide it from you out of courtesy or reason."

Luo Feng looked serious.

You gave me a peach, I returned a precious jade; it was not a repayment, but a token of our eternal friendship!

Lin Yan Luo Feng seen Lin Yan's help and attitude, so after obtaining this mysterious manual, he first cultivated it to confirm its authenticity, and then immediately sent his Moshazhu Race clone back to Earth with the metal plate to pass on this mysterious manual to Lin Yan.

He knew that if he didn't speak up, no one would know about this. And this kind of secret manual, which could defy the heavens and promote the evolution of the body, transcending the Universe Rule, was absolutely invaluable. No matter what, it must not be revealed, otherwise it would inevitably bring disaster.

But at the very least, we can't hide it from Lin Yan.

This is also his principle in life.

Luo Feng said, "The first level of this secret manual can increase the Life Gene Level by three times, which will definitely be of great use to you. I will now teach you the secret method."

Lin Yan looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then laughed.

Luo Feng looked at this scene with some confusion.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Luo Feng, thank you for telling me this."

Even if Luo Feng hadn't said anything, Lin Yan would have understood. But the fact that Luo Feng had come made Lin Yan even more gratified, because it showed that he hadn't misjudged him.

He knew it was true, of course; otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically reminded people to communicate using telepathy instead of normal verbal communication.

"This is only to be expected." Luo Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"There are some things you may not know." Lin Yan shook his head. "You are now an Original Secret Realm Domain Lord level member, which is high, but it is definitely not as high as my authority. After all, you have not truly come into contact with the higher-ups of the human race."

He suddenly stood up.

"The Special Encounters you have just received is enough to defy the Laws of Cosmic Operation. This kind of secret technique is far more heaven-defying than you can imagine!" Lin Yan said solemnly. "Don't tell anyone about this, and it is absolutely impossible to teach it to anyone."

"Why?" Luo Feng was shocked.

Lin Yan said, "This secret technique violates the Universe Law, yet it is not suppressed by the Laws of Cosmic Operation. There must be other strange aspects to it. However, if you tell others about it, their memories will be directly erased by the Operation Rule."

Luo Feng was secretly alarmed upon hearing this.

Erasing memories?

But how could I possibly cultivate this heaven-defying secret technique?

He couldn't help but think of the metal plate. He had survived the test of that illusion, and all the information within it had been integrated into his own mental power. At this moment, the metal plate was just an empty shell.

Could it be because of the special characteristics of this metal plate?

Luo Feng was skeptical, but ultimately decided to give it a try.

When he first said it, Lin Yan seemed quite interested, but soon his brows furrowed slightly.

"Hmm?" Lin Yan was extremely sensitive to time, so he naturally understood that he had erased this part of his memory and could not recall what Luo Feng had said at all.

He smiled and didn't think much of it.

"I am where I am today because of my own merits. Your acquisition of this secret manual is your good fortune, so there is no need to worry about it."

Once Lin Yan made his choice, he could no longer worry about gains and losses.

In fact, he had already figured out the gains and losses and didn't care about this heaven-defying "Nine Tribulations Scripture" at all.

Although the "Nine Tribulations Scripture" is good, its limit is 10081 times the Perfect Gene. Even if you reach the Perfect Gene by cultivating the first level, the subsequent contents will be completely useless.

Compared to the "Golden Framework," its advantage is that it works quickly. After all, it's multiplicative; the first two layers are enough for the Green Line Devouring Worm to achieve Perfect Gene. If it's complete, it's enough for all of Lin Yan's main body and clones to achieve Perfect Gene, without requiring too much effort.

Upgrading the "Golden Framework" is much more troublesome, but its impact is more profound, its potential is greater, it takes more time, and it is more difficult... but that's really not a problem at all.

After thinking it through, Lin Yan felt that there was really no need to cultivate the Nine Tribulations Scripture or become a disciple of the Mountain Master.

In the original novel, Luo Feng was only qualified to use Soldier Armor, General Armor, and King Armor after cultivating the Nine Tribulations Scripture, which added 100,000x World Lord Power a world lord. Therefore, he was able to possess Invincible Feng Wang during his World Master period.

Lin Yan possesses the "Parasitism" talent of Green Line Devouring Worm, and after being possessed by Immortal Plant Lifeform, his talent is even greater.

If one were to become the Mountain Master, he would teach his disciples but not secret techniques, and would not care about their lives or deaths. He would only provide them with resources Supreme Treasure. The two Supreme Treasure he prepared were the Jie Jia and the Star Tower.

The Jie Jia, Peak Supreme Treasure Armor, is currently in the hands of Yan Di, the ruler of the Yan Shen Clan's universe. Only an immortal can reclaim it.

The Star Tower can only be taken by Universe Venerable. Although it is God King Weapon, in the Primordial Universe, it is not fundamentally different from other Palace Ultimate Supreme Treasure except for its ability to guard the soul.

In other words, even if he successfully becomes an apprentice, he can only dream about these two treasures for the time being.

But--

Lin Yan is destined to skip the Immortal level quickly. Once he can break through at the World Lord peak, he will soon reach the Universe Venerable!

Even disregarding the improvements made to the Golden Framework during this period, his Green Line Devouring Worm Clone is still directly top-tier Universe Overlord god body!

If one can keep up with the secret techniques and Supreme Treasure, one will be an extremely powerful existence even among the top-tier Universe Overlord.

Even without the Jie Jia and the Star Tower, with this level of strength and the ability to seize opportunities, the Supreme Treasure one can obtain will certainly not be bad. This is under the most basic circumstances, without considering whether one is lucky or whether there are extremely precious treasures in the upgrade rewards.

If you're lucky, it's possible to obtain treasures even more precious than the Jie Jia.

On the contrary, having such a divine king as a teacher will cause Lin Yan a lot of trouble in the future.

Others might attribute the "chance" function to the favor of the Primal Universe Will, but system upgrade rewards could inexplicably include items that defy explanation.

He had limited knowledge of the human race, including the Great Axe Founder, the Chaos City Lord, and even the legendary Primordial Ancestor. He could easily fool them with any excuse.

Even if Lin Yan had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to make up stories in front of a god-king.

The most terrifying thing is that Lin Yan doesn't know the origin of the system. The worst-case scenario is that he is given the identity of the successor of the Three Monarchs of Shiguo, and he even delivers it to his door. Then he will really be Barbie Q!

Certainly.

In the end, it wasn't a major difficulty. The benefits were still overwhelming, but they were far from enough to justify his decision to give up the God King Weapon "Star Tower" and his Jin Zhi God King.

Such an opportunity might never come again in the Primordial Universe or even the Cosmic Sea, but Lin Yan ultimately controlled his desires and resolutely chose to give it up.

Lin Yan could guess the reason why he hadn't encountered Heavenly Soul Crystal in over sixty years on Earth, but such difficulties were not enough to deter him. As long as he successfully recognized the Star Tower as his master, everything else was trivial.

The most crucial reason is that he cannot be completely at peace with himself in this matter.

To suppress desires goes against one's true nature.

Doing things you shouldn't do to satisfy your desires is also against your true nature.

To be able to follow one's true nature even in the face of a God King Weapon is, in itself, a tremendous spiritual trial for Lin Yan.

To be able to maintain one's own understanding in the face of such temptation, to have an extremely clear understanding of desires, to see through their essence, to know what one wants, what one is willing to die for, and what temptations one can resist—all of this has been understood in one's heart.

This is state of mind.

All Things in the world is a form of spiritual cultivation.

The transformation of his soul was also Lin Yan's greatest gain from this experience.

He hasn't truly understood the concept of "Mind Embraces All and all-encompassing," but he has already grasped some of its key points.

Lin Yan believes that one day, there will be a real opportunity to step into this field.
