Before the gilded gates of the Treasure Palace above the sun, Tang Ping gazed at the ever-changing face of the Mountain Sitting Guest after hearing his words, and a strong sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

As far as he knew, the old man was obsessed with revenge and had become almost insane.

What if the other party discovers his true nature? Would they immediately turn on him, capture him with a single claw, instantly refine his physical body, and then forcibly seize his soul, claiming his talents for themselves?

The thought had barely formed in his mind when he instinctively took two steps back, his divine Divine Power surging wildly as he laid a self-destruction trap within his body, ready to fight to the death at any moment.

As for this precious Treasure Palace, it can be considered a temporary loan to the Mountain Sitting Guest. A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten thousand years. He can settle accounts with this old man when he ascends to the throne of God King!

A moment later, the Mountain Sitting Guest slowly raised his head and glanced around, only to see that Tang Ping had already silently shrunk most of his body behind the palace gate, revealing only a pair of wary eyes as he looked him over.

This scene, however, brought him a sense of relief.

If I had been half as cautious as this kid back then, and made thorough preparations for everything, how could my fellow disciples have ended up with such a tragic fate of all perishing?

The more the Mountain Sitting Guest at Tang Ping, the more pleasing he became. He immediately asked, "Tang Ping, I think highly of you. Would you be willing to become my last disciple?"

Tang Ping poked his head out, his tone somewhat cautious. "This—I need to ask my master first."

The Mountain Sitting Guest's lips twitched, a hint of speechlessness rising in his heart, but he still patiently explained, "I have three rules for teaching my disciples."

Firstly, I will provide my disciple with resources that are arguably the most superior in the universe, so you won't need to worry about procuring them;

Secondly, I will not teach you any ready-made secret methods; you will have to create and explore all the methods of cultivation on your own. However, I can guide you and help you avoid detours.

Thirdly, I have no say in your life, death, honor, disgrace, or choices. Even if you unfortunately perish, I will never Reverse Time and Space to resurrect you.

He paused, then emphasized, "Did you understand all three points?"

Tang Ping immediately became interested. "May I ask, my esteemed master, what exactly are these top-tier resources in the universe that you mentioned?"

The Mountain Sitting Guest: "----"

Is this shamelessness innate or learned? It's probably a case of Lord of Peng Gong, was just as shameless!

Suppressing his inner complaints, the Mountain Sitting Guest said in a deep voice, "Before you, I already had three disciples."

For each of my disciples, I have prepared at least two Peak Treasure. If you are willing to become my disciple, I will also prepare the materials and tailor-make a supreme Supreme Treasure for you. It should be completed within approximately ten billion epochs.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ping's face immediately showed a hint of disappointment.

A billion epochs? By then, he would probably be roaming the Universe Ocean, invincible under heaven. What use would a mere Peak Treasure be? Perhaps by then, Luo Feng would be able to mass-produce supreme Supreme Treasure.

In this way, he gained the title of "master" for no reason, which is really not worth the loss.

What a loss! What a loss!

Thinking of this, Tang Ping wanted to refuse.

The next moment.

The void beside the Mountain Sitting Guest suddenly tore open, and a towering figure, as majestic as a mountain, stepped out.

This man was also over 900 meters tall, with a body as strong as a mountain, thick fingers, and a head of messy long hair that hung down to his waist, but he did not look sloppy at all. Instead, he exuded a heroic and domineering aura that looked down on the world.

"Mountain Sitting Guest," the giant's voice boomed, his gaze sweeping over Tang Ping as he said in a deep voice, "On behalf of my Human Race, I accept this task! Furthermore, my Human Race is willing to provide all the materials needed to refine Peak Treasure."

"Hehe, so it's you, Giant Axe." The Mountain Sitting Guest chuckled, his tone confident. "In that case, it's settled. As long as your Human Race can gather the necessary materials, I can forge two Peak Treasure for him within ten thousand years."

After saying that, he flipped his wrist, and an ancient Black Token appeared out of thin air, which he casually tossed to Tang Ping.

Theoretically, refining Peak Treasure would take more than ten thousand years, but for Universe Supreme Being as him, expending the Minor Universe Origin to Time Acceleration is still something he can do.

"Good disciple, this is the token to contact your master. Once the materials are ready, send someone to the address I specify." The Mountain Sitting Guest paused, as if seeing through Tang Ping's concerns, and added, "I know you are cautious by nature. As my disciple, I will not force you to do anything, and you don't even need to acknowledge my identity to others."

"There's only one thing: if one day in the future, you encounter a situation that doesn't threaten your life, please help me deal with a mortal enemy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Mountain Sitting Guest transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and vanished into the horizon in an instant.

Tang Ping held the warm token in his hand, completely bewildered. He hadn't even agreed yet, so how did he suddenly find himself with a master?

Tang Ping turned his gaze to the giant man in the distance, his face full of grievance.

How could they sell his master's position for a mere two Peak Treasure? You have to understand, that old guy, Mountain Sitting Guest, is incredibly wealthy; he should at least want one supreme Supreme Treasure! Even if he doesn't have a supreme Supreme Treasure, he could at least want a few Peak Treasure!

The giant man felt a headache coming on as he looked at Tang Ping.

Chaos had previously told him that this kid wouldn't act without a clear objective, but he hadn't taken it seriously. After all, no matter how greedy he was, he was just a minor Venerable; how much could he possibly have in his pocket?

Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he finally understood that even giving away two Peak Treasure for free couldn't satisfy this kid's appetite! You have to understand, the entire Human Race combined has only a handful of Peak Treasure, and most of them are still with him.

That kid's got a really dark physique!

"You brat!" The giant pointed at Tang Ping with his thick finger. But since Tang Ping wasn't his personal disciple, he had no right to reprimand him. In the end, having no other choice, he shook his head, sighed, and turned into a streak of Flowing Light, disappearing away.

Tang Ping scratched his head and sighed softly as well.

These guys are too short-sighted. They have no idea how awesome Luo Feng will be in the future. The best thing for humans to do right now is to do nothing and just lie back and wait for Luo Feng to carry them all the way.

As long as I don't do it, I'll never make a mistake!

However, getting two Peak Treasure for free is a good thing. At least he can follow the plan and, after becoming the Universe Master, send a clone to the Universe Boat to temper his will.

With Peak Treasure protecting him, at least his clone will be safe.

As for when he would become the Universe Master, he glanced at the panel.

[Realm: Cosmic Overlord] (99%)

[Willpower: Universe Master, Tier 1] (50%)

[Laws: Wind Laws (100%), Thunder Laws (100%), Time Law (100%), Space Law (99.98%)]

[Secret Technique: Sword Fifteen (99%)]

[Lifespan: 11893/∞]

[Divine Power Path: (1500/10081)]

[God Kingdom: 90 million kilometers]

[Nether Sea Clone: 10.3 Billion Kilometers]

It'll be here soon! It'll be here soon!

With his mind clear, Tang Ping immediately shouted, "Guards! Serve the food! Then play the music, then dance!"
