Volume Six: Universal Currency
"Even a treasure worth tens of thousands of Reward Points is quite good," Emperor Qing said with a smile. "By the way, are the treasures left behind by Emperor Yuan after his death difficult to sell?"
"It's quite difficult to sell. I barely managed to sell two out of five." Luo Feng waved his hand, and the remaining three treasures— the Red Cape, Battle Boots, and gloves—appeared.
"Sell two of the more valuable ones, and leave the three most ordinary ones." Emperor Qing said, looking at the three secret treasures of the God Emperor Early-Stage. How about this, my Yan Feng Ancient Nation will buy them back, round it up to 10,000 Primal Chaos Crystal.
One Primal Chaos Crystal can be exchanged Two Great Ancient Nations' guest ministers, and one million merits are needed to exchange for one.
10,000 Primal Chaos Crystal equals 10 billion in merit!
This is a tremendous achievement that ordinary God King Second Realm can only look up to. Even for Emperors and Monarchs, it would be extremely difficult to accumulate such a huge achievement.
"Okay." Luo Feng nodded with a smile.
Whoosh. With a wave of his hand, Emperor Qing conjured a pile of dazzling Primal Chaos Crystal that floated to the side.
Luo Feng's eyes lit up. These Primal Chaos Crystal were about the size of a fingertip, each one perfectly round, and their natural aura gave Luo Feng an urge to absorb them.
"Primal Chaos Crystal are the Universal Currency outside the Source World," Emperor Qing explained. "They are condensed from the essence of endless Primal Chaos Force extracted by Cage Primal Chaos Lifeform that have broken free from their confinement. Each one is so small so that it is suitable for us to use for transactions."
Luo Feng waved his hand to collect the pile of Primal Chaos Crystal, but left three in his hand to carefully sense them.
"The Primal Chaos Crystal is beneficial to the cultivation of all life forms within the confines of the Cage," Emperor Qing said.
"Universal Currency?" Luo Feng understood, carefully examining the three Primal Chaos Crystal in his palm.
"Absorbing it will aid in cultivation. However, it must be done in moderation," Emperor Qing said. " At the God Emperor Early-Stage strength, one should not absorb more than 100 per era. If the amount absorbed is too large, the effect will become less and less effective, or even completely ineffective."
"Each Xing Zhe has different physical and spiritual strengths, so the most suitable amount also varies. You need to explore this gradually during your cultivation."
"In short, if you feel the effect is getting worse, you must immediately reduce the dosage," Emperor Qing reminded. "As long as you maintain a low dosage, the Primal Chaos Crystal will continue to be effective. You can continue to use it until you break free from its Cage."
Luo Feng exclaimed, "It is indeed amazing."
The Primal Chaos Crystal can be used by ordinary guest ministers of the Two Great Ancient Nations! Even the God Emperors can use it... It is indeed a very versatile treasure.
"Silver River Brother, once the Secret Method is complete and everything is ready, let me know immediately." Emperor Qing handed a token to Luo Feng. "When the time comes, crush the token and I will sense it immediately."
The other emperors of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation only had Communication Token to send to Emperor Qing, but Emperor Qing wouldn't read it when he was in seclusion.
Emperor Qing sensed Luo Feng's token immediately.
"Good, all preparations are complete. I will definitely inform Brother Emperor Qing before leaving the Origin Continent." Luo Feng readily agreed.
Emperor Qing smiled and nodded, then immediately took a step and left.
Yan Feng Ancient Nation, Qing Capital, Emperor Qing Palace.
Eleven emperors, including Di Fu Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan, Emperor Lord Jiu Feng, and Emperor Chu, have gathered here, either in their true forms or in their avatars.
"In the battle between Emperor Qing and the Galaxy Master, the Galaxy Master released a nine-story tower at the end, seemingly defeating Emperor Qing?" These emperors were somewhat apprehensive. The Yan Feng Ancient Nation was high above, and its greatest confidence came from the Yan Feng Ancestor Emperor Qing.
On the Origin Continent, under the Power Restriction, the difference between Emperor Qing and the Yan Feng Ancestor was not significant.
"Hoo." Emperor Qing appeared on the throne in the main hall.
"Emperor Qing." All eleven emperors looked at Emperor Qing.
Emperor Qing looked at his fellow clansmen, frowned and shook his head. "This Galaxy Master is extremely powerful! He even possesses an extremely powerful secret treasure. With that tower-like secret treasure, I can't defeat him."
Eleven emperors were enlightened.
Even Emperor Qing couldn't defeat him?
"Due to the limitations of the Origin Continent's Power Restriction, even if the Ancestor were to take action, he would need a powerful secret treasure to suppress the Galaxy Master." Emperor Qing shook his head. "Even if he suppresses him, he still cannot harm him."
"The Galaxy Master is already in place!" Emperor Qing shook his head slightly and then disappeared.
Only the eleven emperors were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Even with the help of the ancestor and the secret treasure, he couldn't harm this Galaxy Master?" Emperor Yan felt a chill in his heart.
Di Fu sighed, "Even we emperors can't do anything to the Thunder Ancestor or the Eastern Domain Progenitor. Now we just have another Galaxy Master!"
"It seems we can only endure Emperor Yuan's grudge," Emperor Lord Kong sighed from the side.
"Emperor Lord Kong, stop gloating," Emperor Yan scolded from the side.
"I'm telling the truth. Do you dare to seek revenge?" Emperor Lord Kong chuckled and strode away.
"Let's go, let's go. Another ancestor-level being." Emperor Chu, Emperor Lord Jiu Feng, and the others also left one by one.
Di Fu, however, was quite troubled.
"This Galaxy Master so powerful, possessing such a secret treasure, that he can even overpower Emperor Qing. Is he really Luo He?" Di Fu was no longer so confident. "With his strength, would he leave the Origin Continent with me?"
Companions are chosen by each other.
He chose the other party! But... the other party also needs to respect him, the Di Fu! The difference in strength is too great, Galaxy Master probably won't bother with him.
"Cultivation ultimately depends on oneself. One must be strong enough," Di Fu thought to himself. "I need to find a way to reach the Ultimate Realm."
His mastery of formations was clearly profound, only a thin layer of paper away from the Ultimate Realm, yet he just couldn't break through it.
Di Fu was also very distressed.
"Emperor Qing has finally made his move; he's going to avenge Emperor Yuan!"
"The strength of Emperor Qing and the Galaxy Master is terrifying."
"Um?"
"Emperor Qing lost?"
"That nine-story tower defeated Emperor Qing?"
Anyone with a modicum of knowledge could see that Emperor Qing had lost this confrontation! This shocked them.
Because there is a consensus on the Origin Continent: if the two ancestral masters do not take action, Emperor Qing is invincible!
This time, the Galaxy Master, wielding a nine-story tower, actually outmaneuvered Emperor Qing.
"Our Thunder Ancient Nation, apart from our progenitor, has no one Above God King. We must be even more careful from now on." The monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Nation were even more panicked than the emperors of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation.
"Isn't this the Star Tower I forged?" Through the images recorded by the Thunder Merchant Guild, the Sitting Mountain Guest clearly saw the entire battle between Emperor Qing and Luo Feng, and also saw the final appearance of the Star Tower.
"The Star Tower, a secret treasure of the God King First Realm, can actually be used to defeat Emperor Qing?" The Sitting Mountain Guest was dumbfounded.
"It seems that the golden light that merged into the Star Tower when I forged it was quite special," the Sitting Mountain Guest thought.
With his skill, he would have been extremely careful during the weapon-forging process, daring not to make the slightest mistake with the materials he used. Yet, a golden light... ignored the array he had set up, ignored his domain, and directly merged into the Star Tower. The Sitting Mountain Guest had sensed something was wrong from the beginning.
Back then, after the golden light was incorporated into the Star Tower quickly took shape. In his eyes at the time, the Star Tower was indeed a treasure of the God King First Realm.
He was completely unable to see the Truth of the Star Tower.
The Star Tower's recognition of its master was far more difficult than the Sitting Mountain Guest had anticipated! It was only when Luo Feng was on the verge of death that he gained the Star Tower's recognition.
"Even the finest treasures need a suitable owner."
"Only in Luo Feng's hands can the Star Tower truly unleash its power." The Sitting Mountain Guest sighed with emotion. As the refiner and God King First Realm, he couldn't even see the true mysteries of the Star Tower.
But the Sitting Mountain Guest only felt happy.
I'm so happy for my student!
Having avenged his blood feud, the Sitting Mountain Guest was at peace. Now, his greatest concern was for his disciple, Luo Feng. He was naturally happy if his disciple could shine even brighter.
"This little guy who came from Earth has unknowingly reached the pinnacle of the Origin Continent," the Sitting Mountain Guest thought to himself, and smiled.
******
Huyang City, the City Lord's Mansion, Quiet Room.
Luo Feng is currently in seclusion here, cultivating his skills. The affairs of the Silver River God Kingdom are mainly handled by Moluo Sa. Of course, when a critical moment comes, he can reach the Silver River God Kingdom with a single thought.
"Emperor Qing deliberately helped me in this sparring match." Luo Feng understood this.
Emperor Qing only used the 'Three Thousand Killing Formation' from beginning to end, without using any other powerful methods or secret treasures! A being Above God King who has wandered outside the Source World for countless years, doesn't have any life-or-death methods? And he doesn't even have a single secret treasure in his hometown?
If they really spare no expense, it's hard to say whether they can gain the upper hand.
His own secret treasures might have an advantage, but Emperor Qing's realm is higher than his. If he uses some secret treasures at the God Emperor Late-Stage or the God Emperor Completion-Level, he might be able to rival the Star Tower.
"Within the Origin Continent, power is limited. Even if one of us, Emperor Qing, or the ancestors of both countries has the upper hand, we cannot defeat the other."
"But once we leave the Origin Continent, the gap widens significantly."
Luo Feng knew very well that his so-called invincibility was due to the advantage of the power limited by the Supreme Rules the Origin Continent.
"Cultivate diligently, at least reach the Ultimate Realm." Luo Feng flipped his hand, and a Primal Chaos Crystal appeared in his palm. This round, jade-like treasure, about the size of a finger, was swallowed by Luo Feng in one gulp.
The Primal Chaos Crystal fell into the body and began to be slowly absorbed.
"Um?"
Primal Chaos Crystal is the refined essence of Primal Chaos Force. As long as one has not become Primal Chaos Lifeform, it is generally beneficial.
At this moment, Luo Feng's physical body was nourished, his soul was also nourished, his thinking speed increased several times, and his comprehension was also improving.
"It even has the effect of strengthening the physical body and enhancing the soul," Luo Feng exclaimed in amazement.
The Primal Chaos Crystal strengthens the physical body and soul at an extremely slow pace. Theoretically, with an infinite supply of Primal Chaos Crystal and an infinite amount of time, it is possible to make the physical body and soul incredibly powerful.
Unfortunately, the Primal Chaos Crystal that can be consumed in each cycle is limited. Consuming too much will reduce the effectiveness or even render it ineffective.
"Generally, the stronger the life level, the weaker the nourishing effect of treasures. But Primal Chaos Crystal can be useful continuously." Luo Feng closed his eyes and began to concentrate on comprehending the three Hunyuan Primal Chaos Bloodline Creature materials with the Ultimate Realm strength that he had obtained.
Time, too, flows on in the process of cultivation.
Since sparring with Emperor Qing, no one on the Origin Continent has dared to provoke the Silver River God Kingdom.
The Galaxy Master has risen to the same level as the progenitors of the two nations, the Eastern Domain Progenitor, and Emperor Qing! Moreover, the Galaxy Master's hatred of evil has deterred the ancient beings of the entire Origin Continent from acting recklessly. At least for the time being, the act of devouring billions of living beings has disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, three hundred years have passed since the establishment of the Silver River God Kingdom.
On this day, something insignificant happened— the Elder Yuan of the Blade River Sect broke through and became a God King.
