Underground Mist Island, 15,000 meters deep—

Crack!

The concealed cabin door opened, and Luo Feng emerged. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Wang Cheng not far away, waving at him.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng then walked towards Wang Cheng.

"Look how nervous you are!" Wang Cheng chuckled, "Do I look like the type to kill for treasure?"

"Brother Wang, do you know about Teacher Hu Yanbo?" Luo Feng asked seriously.

"Senior Hu Yanbo was a very powerful Immortal, just a bit unlucky!" Wang Cheng said with a smile.

"With Earth's resources, it would have been difficult for you to achieve much. However, by obtaining Senior Hu Yanbo's inheritance, you've immediately become different from other Earthlings!"

"Brother Wang, you really do know!" Luo Feng understood, and at the same time, he was puzzled, "Brother Wang, why did you ask me to come?"

"Because I don't want to become a disciple myself, but I do want a secret manual left behind by Senior Hu Yanbo. You and I have a good relationship, so I'm giving you this opportunity. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you'd reveal a flaw if you knew, and then you wouldn't get the inheritance!" Wang Cheng explained, half-truthfully.

"Secret manual?" Luo Feng was confused. At this moment, Babata was shouting in his mind.

"This guy is truly arrogant! If he came himself, I definitely wouldn't think highly of him, and he even says he doesn't want to be a disciple! And he wants a secret manual? I'm telling you, Luo Feng, he's dreaming! The secret manuals of my Yinmo lineage were all painstakingly collected by my Master. They are absolutely not to be passed on, not to be passed on!!"

"Babata, why don't you consider it?"

Luo Feng persuaded him in his heart. Wang Cheng's explanation had completely dispelled his nervousness. His worst initial thought was that Wang Cheng had been using him all along to obtain the inheritance from his current teacher, Hu Yanbo.

But now it seemed he had misunderstood. If Wang Cheng truly wanted to kill him for treasure, he probably wouldn't be explaining things to him now!

His obtaining such a great opportunity was entirely due to Wang Cheng's push. This was a tremendous favor. If it were up to Luo Feng, this favor would be nothing in exchange for a secret manual.

But unfortunately, Luo Feng didn't have the final say on the secret manual; this matter required Babata's agreement!

"Impossible, impossible!" Babata's attitude was firm.

"Uh, Brother Wang." Luo Feng was pondering how to phrase his words when Wang Cheng suddenly said, "Senior Hu Yanbo left behind an Intelligent Life, right? Tell him that the secret manuals I want are Ten Thousand Lines Flow and Control Space!"

"Ten Thousand Lines Flow? Control Space? Those are among the most precious secret manuals left by my Master," Babata babbled, essentially conveying one point: the manuals were very valuable, and learning them was a dream.

"Babata, don't be so absolute. There must be a solution, right?" Luo Feng asked in his mind.

"Unless he exchanges them for secret manuals of the same level!" Babata also knew Wang Cheng was difficult to deal with. Not only could he guide Luo Feng step by step to obtain his Master's inheritance, but he also definitely possessed very advanced detectors. The man was utterly mysterious, and his strength was unfathomable.

Babata was just putting up a tough front now. If Luo Feng gave him a way down, he would readily take it!

"Secret manuals of the same level?" Luo Feng didn't hesitate. He directly relayed Babata's requirement to Wang Cheng.

"I don't have secret manuals of the same level!" Wang Cheng shook his head. Manuals like Ten Thousand Lines Flow and Control Space contained the Space Law. The only thing Wang Cheng had that could compare was Eternal Void. However, he had memorized Eternal Void through a inheritance crystal. Before he reached a certain realm, he couldn't fully recall Eternal Void.

However, Wang Cheng wasn't without options. He directly said, "But, I have a way to make your Evolution Path millions of times easier than it is now!"

"Brother Wang, what do you mean?" Luo Feng was currently only a High-level War God, and his Mental Energy had been boosted by talent all the way. Therefore, he naturally couldn't comprehend the difficulty Earthlings faced in evolution.

"You're only at the Apprentice level now. When you become Planet level in the future, you'll understand how difficult Body Evolution is. Ask him what his method is!" Babata quickly said.

However, before Luo Feng could ask, Wang Cheng directly stated, "I can exchange a Kinkaku Giant Beast egg for these two secret manuals!"

"A Kinkaku Giant Beast egg!!!" Babata exploded.

"What is that?" Luo Feng wanted to ask.

At this moment, Babata finally couldn't hold back. Under Wang Cheng's gaze, a Child Phantom with blood-red eyes and two horns on its forehead appeared on Luo Feng's shoulder.

"Finally couldn't resist coming out?" Wang Cheng said with a smile, "Let's introduce ourselves first. I am Wang Cheng!"

"Babata!" Babata said, then quickly asked, "Are you sure it's a Kinkaku Giant Beast egg?"

"Naturally, I'm sure!" Wang Cheng nodded faintly. He continued, "Do you know what a Kinkaku Giant Beast egg signifies?"

"What does it signify?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask.

"It signifies you reaching the heavens in a single step!" Babata didn't explain in detail. He then asked suspiciously, "Are you really trading this with us?"

"The Kinkaku Giant Beast egg isn't on Earth right now. It will take some time to transport it! After half a year, I will personally deliver the Kinkaku Giant Beast egg to Luo Feng!" Wang Cheng said without hesitation.

"Alright, in half a year, we'll trade." Babata reasoned that if Wang Cheng truly produced the Kinkaku Giant Beast egg, then giving up two secret manuals would truly be nothing!

"I need a deposit!" Wang Cheng said faintly. "Control Space is a relatively rare secret manual, but Ten Thousand Lines Flow is very common. Give me Ten Thousand Lines Flow first!"

"Okay!" Babata nodded directly.

"..."

Wang Cheng looked at Babata with some surprise. He had expected the other party wouldn't agree so easily. Although he was confident that the Kinkaku Giant Beast egg would descend on Earth in half a year, he didn't expect others to believe him so readily based on his word alone!

Wang Cheng had prepared a whole speech to persuade Babata, but Babata had actually agreed directly!

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation!" Wang Cheng smiled. This Babata was indeed someone who had adventured with Hu Yanbo. Although his temper was a bit foul, he was ultimately pragmatic.

"I will compile some information on Ten Thousand Lines Flow and send it to you tomorrow!" Babata said no more and directly disappeared from Luo Feng's shoulder.

"Babata, why did you agree so quickly?" Luo Feng was also a bit surprised. He had originally thought Babata wouldn't agree so easily and had even prepared to persuade him.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Babata said in Luo Feng's mind.

"This Wang Cheng is unfathomable, and he seems to know about my Master's affairs! My Master only has you as a successor. What good would it do me to anger him? Giving him one Ten Thousand Lines Flow manual to ensure your safety is already a profit. As for the Kinkaku Giant Beast egg... if it's real, I can only say that this Wang Cheng might be helping you!"

"Help me?" Luo Feng asked, confused.

"You can't even imagine the value of a Kinkaku Giant Beast egg. A mere Planet level like you obtaining such a thing is enough to make countless Cosmic humans jealous!" Babata said.

"What's the use of a Kinkaku Giant Beast egg?" Luo Feng asked again.

"It's useless to tell you now. If he can really get his hands on a Kinkaku Giant Beast egg in the future, it won't be too late for me to tell you then!" Babata didn't want to say more. No matter how Luo Feng asked, he wouldn't reveal a single word.

At this moment, Wang Cheng turned his head to look into the distance. He guessed that Luo Feng was communicating with Babata, so he wasn't in a hurry to say anything.

Wang Cheng hadn't been communicating with Luo Feng for that long. In this time, Jiang Mingyue had already killed Yan Hai, and even Li Yao, who had come with Yan Hai, was affected and casually killed by Jiang Mingyue.

Poor Li Yao had invited Yan Hai to help him get rid of Luo Feng, but in the end, he was affected by Yan Hai.

After killing Yan Hai and Li Yao, Jiang Mingyue remained motionless where she was, lost in thought.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Cheng flashed and appeared in front of Jiang Mingyue.

"Brother Cheng!"

Jiang Mingyue looked up and called out, her voice slightly hoarse.

"Your great revenge is served, why do you look unhappy?" Wang Cheng asked.

"Perhaps it's because the revenge that was once out of reach was too simple, so simple that I haven't even reacted yet!" Jiang Mingyue said truthfully.

This was also the truth!

A few months ago, Jiang Mingyue was still desperately honing herself in the Wilderness Area, wanting to become stronger. But now, she had "woken up" with terrifying strength, allowing her to easily avenge her great hatred.

It was so simple that Jiang Mingyue felt a little overwhelmed.

"Maybe it will be fine after some time!" Wang Cheng was not Jiang Mingyue, so he naturally couldn't understand her feelings. After a moment of thought, he continued, "Although your parents died early, you should still have relatives alive, right? Since you've been sleeping for a long time, I'll give you a break. Go and see your other relatives!"

Hearing Wang Cheng's words, Jiang Mingyue directly shook her head. "My only remaining relative is my cousin, whom I haven't contacted in a long time. There's nothing for us to see each other about!"

"Is that so?" Wang Cheng nodded slightly. Seeing that Jiang Mingyue said so, he didn't say anything more.

To be honest, his living standards had declined significantly during the time Jiang Mingyue was away. It would be best if Jiang Mingyue could return to work immediately!
