Stability Above All

Faced with Tang Ping's reply, the Mountain Sitting Guest Sun Temple a sense of existential unease and doubt.

Which man doesn't dream of being a hero when he's young?

The unbridled, exhilarating battle while drunk on the battlefield, the thunderous cries of "The gods are immortal!" from millions of worshippers—isn't this the kind of glorious day every martial artist envies throughout their life?

Moreover, Tang Ping already possesses the Peak Supreme Treasure Armor and longsword. If he were to add the top-tier Treasure Palace "Blood Cloud Hall" and the special Supreme Treasure Blood Cloud Pearl, even the Universe Supreme Being Primal Universe be unable to harm him.

It should be noted that Universe Supreme Being, constrained by the Primal Universe, could only unleash their full power at the Fifth Order Peak. Such combat strength was insufficient to even break through the defenses of a top-tier Treasure Palace.

Tang Ping, however, was completely unmoved by the prospect of obtaining a top-tier Palace Supreme Treasure for free. Moreover, since the Original Ancestor of the Human Race was suppressed, Supreme Treasure of this caliber had become extremely rare and precious throughout the entire race's territory.

After a long silence, the Mountain Sitting Guest spoke again, "A top-tier Treasure Palace, disciple, do you really not want it?"

He changed the subject. "Just like I did with your second senior brother back then, I'll make you a promise too."

"A promise?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Tang Ping's eyes.

"If you can slay a hundred Top Universe Overlord, or ten Universe Masters, within the realm of the Universe Master," the Mountain Sitting Guest said slowly, "I will grant you one request: you provide the materials, and I will forge a Peak Treasure for you free of charge. It should be noted that the materials required to forge a Peak Treasure are only worth ten percent of the Supreme Treasure itself."

Tang Ping's eyes lit up instantly.

Peak Treasure! It's something that would make even top human powerhouses like the Chaos City Lord and the Founder of the Giant Axe tremble with excitement.

"The Peak Treasure I'm referring to also encompass all categories, including those Domain Type and peak Flying Palace-type," the Mountain Sitting Guest added.

Tang Ping's eyes immediately turned red!

Damn! That's a huge profit!

The current pinnacle of Human Race is nothing more than a Peak Domain-type Supreme Treasure, yet the Mountain Sitting Guest is willing to offer such a condition.

"The higher the level of the Supreme Treasure you desire, the more demanding my material list will be," the Mountain Sitting Guest sneered. "Don't be so ambitious. The materials for Peak Domain-type Supreme Treasure are so rare that even your Human Race might not be able to gather them all."

Seeing his disciple's increasingly excited expression, the Mountain Sitting Guest, with a persuasive tone, coaxed him, "Such an opportunity, such Supreme Treasure, you really don't want any of it?"

Tang Ping thought for a moment and said frankly, "Teacher, to be honest, I'm really craving it. But you also know that I really don't like that kind of fighting and killing."

How about you just send me a few items? I'll owe you the heads now, and when those guys mess with me later, I'll settle the score with my revenge. How does that sound?

Mountain Sitting Guest:?

He was stunned, almost unable to react. How thick-skinned could someone be to say such shameless things with such righteous indignation? And still owe a few Peak Treasure? He had lived for countless years and had never seen such a brazen person!

The Mountain Sitting Guest was ultimately left with no other option but to try a different method of enticement.

He flicked his finger, and a blood-red token, exuding a faint, menacing aura, flew towards Tang Ping: "This is the Blood Cloud Token."

Tang Ping reached out and caught it; his fingertips felt icy cold. This token was extremely similar to the one that the Mountain Sitting Guest had used to contact him.

"After you acknowledge me as your master, you can use this token to command my eighteen servants," the Mountain Sitting Guest explained. "These eighteen are all Cosmic Venerable, each leading a Special Lifeform form."

"Servants?" Tang Ping asked curiously.

"Back then, when I was the Blood Cloud Hall Lord, I ventured into the universe and unintentionally saved some Special Lifeform. Grateful for my kindness, they prayed to serve me as their master."

The Mountain Sitting Guest spoke calmly, "I was born of Special Lifeform, so I took care of these little guys. As time went by, my forces grew, and under my guidance, I even cultivated eighteen Cosmic Venerable, three of whom are Top Universe Overlord."

After you accept the token of allegiance, you will be able to view their brief information. I have protected them for countless years; in the future, when you are able, please also look after them for me.

"Three Top Universe Overlord servants, plus fifteen Special Lifeform Cosmic Venerable?" Tang Ping's heart skipped a beat.

It should be noted that the Human Race currently only has three Top Universe Overlord. If these eighteen individuals could be recruited into the Human Race, not only would the race's mid-to-high-end combat power instantly double, but the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way would also leap from the bottom of the Five Great Powers to the top three.

At that time, Master and Grandmaster will probably be laughing in their sleep, right?

But the thought had barely formed in his mind when Tang Ping quickly regained his composure and waved his hand in refusal, "Teacher Mountain Sitting Guest, let's forget about it. I think you should rely on Luo Feng instead of me. He'll definitely be able to break through to the Immortal Realm smoothly, and he's much stronger than me!"

No one can stop him from developing peacefully! He will not leave the Primal Universe until he is invincible, and he will not go to the Universe Ocean until he is invincible!

This time, the Mountain Sitting Guest is truly helpless.

This apprentice is truly impervious to both gentle persuasion and force!

He shook his head and slowly stood up. "That's enough. Since the disguise has been exposed, there's no point in keeping it. Leave these things here for now. If you want to use them later, or if you want to give them to Luo Feng, it's up to you."

Furthermore, my previous promises always stand.

He paused, then solemnly admonished, "Remember, the strong are always forged in battle! Throughout history, which peerless expert's reputation wasn't built upon mountains of corpses Blood Sea?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Mountain Sitting Guest disappeared straight into the hall.

In his view, Tang Ping was still too young, indulging in low-level entertainment and mistakenly believing that stability was the ultimate happiness.

Little did they know that the desires of living beings are endless, and only by constantly becoming stronger can they support these insatiable desires. It doesn't matter if they are unwilling to shed blood now; once they have had their fill, they will naturally understand the importance of combat power.

After the Mountain Sitting Guest left, Tang Ping walked to the table and quietly examined the three treasures.

To be fair, these three items, though not well-known, are all extremely precious, especially the Blood Cloud Token, which can directly command three Special Lifeform Cosmic Overlord.

By equipping them with Supreme Treasure, they can unleash the combat power of Top Universe Overlord, comparable to alternative Universe Master, and in certain scenarios, their influence even far surpasses that of Universe Master.

After all, these Special Lifeform can be resurrected by the Universe Supreme Being, so they have no need to fear death and can fight without any scruples.

After admiring them for a while, Tang Ping suddenly realized something and felt a surge of fear: Who put these things of the Blood Cloud Hall Lord in his house? Take them away quickly!

With his talent, as long as he develops steadily, he will eventually grow into a top-tier Universe Master, or even break through to become the Universe Supreme Being. Why would he have to worry about not having Supreme Treasure?

At that time, high-level players will crush low-level players, and what treasure can't they seize? To fight to the death for these things now, and to perish by accident, would be a tremendous loss!

"Steady, steady, steady!" Tang Ping shouted to himself three times, forcibly suppressing the agitation in his heart, before finally letting out a slow sigh of relief.

After Sun Temple his mind and carefully hiding the treasures, Tang Ping chatted with the maids, his mind gradually returning to clarity. One hundred days later, he finally regained his former sage-like state of mind.

Without sorrow or joy, the heart is like still water, all thoughts are at peace.

However, thinking of Luo Feng, he hesitated for a moment, then immediately sent an email:

[To Brother Luo Feng: It's been a long time since we last contacted each other. As I pick up my pen, all the times we walked side by side seem like yesterday.]

As time goes by, I imagine you are away fighting and training hard, working tirelessly day and night. As your brother, my biggest concern is always your health.

The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Breaking through to the Immortal Realm requires the right time, place, and people. One must not let eagerness for success ruin one's mind and spirit.

Do not let external disturbances or gossip disturb your peace of mind.

You have always been resolute and exceptionally talented. I have always believed in you, and I believe that you will overcome this obstacle, break through the barrier, and achieve immortality!

For over ten thousand years, I have never left the Solar System, guarding this homeland, protecting your family and friends, patrolling daily, and personally attending to every matter, just so that you can be free from any worries while you are away.

For me, this has never been a responsibility, but simply something a brother should do. You just focus on moving forward, and I'll take care of everything behind you.

I just encountered something recently, and I'm still feeling frustrated.

As your and my master, Mr. Mountain Sitting Guest should be the one who trusts you the most and protects you the most. Yet he came all the way here and only said, "Your three disciples are all sick. You should encourage them." Hearing this, I felt heartbroken.

This is not an expectation of a disciple, but clearly a lack of faith that you can withstand the current difficulties. What's worse, his words and intentions are actually trying to lure me to go to a dangerous place to risk my life for him.

But did he ever consider that if I were to truly leave the Solar System, who would protect the Luo Family and all my relatives and friends?

In contrast, I have never had any ulterior motives, and I do not ask for anything in return from you. I only wish you peace and well-being, that you may cultivate yourself as you wish, and that I may protect everything you care about.

I am your best brother, and I always will be. For the rest of my life, I will always be your strongest support.

Gui Yi short, take care of yourself, follow your heart, and don't force yourself. I eagerly await the day you achieve immortality and return home in glory. At that time, we brothers will raise a glass and chat happily.

Tang Ping]

After sending the email, Tang Ping turned back with satisfaction and continued to discuss metaphysics, the laws of the universe, and the cosmos with his newly acquainted girlfriends.

There's nothing I can do about it; he's just that kind of earnest and sentimental person.

As for tattling? He's always hated people gossiping behind his back, but when it comes to him, well, he's forced into it by life.

After all, who isn't living life to the fullest in this vast universe?

The universe is vast, dazzling, and mysterious.

After completely shutting down the Virtual Universe and entering seclusion for cultivation, Luo Feng embarked on a solitary journey through the Primal Universe.

He has seen planets composed entirely of platinum, gold, and diamonds, and encountered 108 stars coexisting in harmony.

He witnessed spectacular sights, even sleeping on neutron stars and exploring black holes. When the mood struck him, he would lie on a meteorite, drifting freely with the star currents, watching the Milky Way surge and observing the gathering and dispersing of nebulae.

He also quietly infiltrated various Alien Races, having his Mosha Clan clone replicate their aura and appearance, like a passerby in the world, quietly observing the joys and sorrows of these Alien Race, experiencing their living environment so different from that of humans, and savoring their culture that has been passed down for countless years.

These Alien Race, whether rugged, gentle, or mysterious, are completely different from humans, yet each possesses its own unique characteristics. Every realization they make is a cleansing of the soul.

This wandering with the universe quietly transformed his will.

"In the past, all I saw was fighting, killing, and becoming stronger."

"But the beauty of the universe goes far beyond this. The birth and death of a star, the flourishing and withering of a blade of grass, the rampage of a ferocious beast, the flow of a galaxy—all contain the Universe Origin Laws; the ecological cycle of a life-bearing planet is a microcosm of the entire universe's operation."

Luo Feng immersed half of his consciousness in the wonders of the universe, feeling the pulse of the laws, while the other half focused on cultivation. The two merged, and his cultivation efficiency increased several times over compared to before.

Sometimes inspiration flows like a spring, breaking through the barriers of past cultivation; sometimes he is trapped in a difficult problem of a certain law, but he is not impatient. Having lived in the starry sky for a long time, his state of mind has long been integrated with the universe, as vast and boundless as the sea of stars. Those seemingly unsolvable problems are solved without him even realizing it.

Finally, at a certain moment, Luo Feng's lips curled up slightly, and a relieved smile spread across his face.

All the insights accumulated during his more than 20,000 years of wandering in the universe erupted at this moment, a natural and powerful outpouring. In his eyes, the operation of all things in the world follows a clear cosmic law, and the principles of heaven and earth are all within his grasp.

"This is a complete transformation of the soul."

If anyone else were here, they would surely notice that his will at this moment is comparable to that of Top Universe Overlord, reaching the level of an ordinary Universe Master.

"It's time to go back and break through to immortality," Luo Feng said confidently.

He raised his hand to activate the virtual universe audit. After more than 20,000 years of seclusion, unread emails piled up like mountains, mostly family trivia from Xu Xin and Tang Ping's ramblings, mostly about daily life.

Watching these everyday family stories, Luo Feng didn't find them boring at all; on the contrary, he felt a warm sense of being cared for.

He frowned slightly when he came across Tang Ping's email about the Mountain Sitting Guest.

To be honest, he had long suspected that his master Mountain Sitting Guest, was hiding many secrets. However, his master was always generous and had imparted many Supreme Treasure and secret techniques to him without reservation. He felt that the master's kindness was as heavy as a mountain, so he was too lazy to investigate further.

His motto has always been to repay kindness, and at worst, to do what he can for his master in the future.

Just as I was pondering this, an email from Mountain Sitting Guest caught my eye.

Luo Feng clicked on the letter out of Singularity, only to find that the Mountain Sitting Guest was also complaining about Tang Ping.

He is said to be lazy by nature, lacking heroic spirit and strong will, but he has the highest opinion of himself and hopes to continue his efforts to create new glories. He even said that he is waiting at the highest point of the Primal Universe.

The letter also pointed out that Tang Ping had a habit of shifting blame, and that he actually wanted to push the things that should have been his responsibility onto him, a minor world lord, which was truly unethical.

Luo Feng looked at the two emails, both amused and exasperated. "Good heavens, so you two, master and disciple, are tattling on each other?"

He shook his head helplessly and casually deleted all the emails from those two "troublemakers." Right now, breaking through to immortality was the most important thing.

Once he achieves immortality and possesses the power of Cosmic Overlord, who in this world will he have to fear?

Tang Ping, right?

Turn around, let's have a one-on-one fight!
