"What exactly was that?"
Luo Feng looked at Chief Hall Master Hong in confusion.
The purple vine, more than two thousand meters long, was visibly shrinking.
In almost no time at all, it vanished before Hong's eyes.
"Haha, Luo Feng really is my lucky star."
A faint coolness beneath the skin of his arm brought a smile to Hong's face.
Then he took a step, and in an instant, he was standing in front of Luo Feng.
"Chief Hall Master, your..."
Luo Feng cried out in surprise.
He noticed that Chief Hall Master Hong's face was deathly pale, just like the white man's earlier, as if he had been attacked.
But strangely, despite his pallor, he couldn't stop smiling.
"Luo Feng, you've earned credit for discovering the Vegetation Spirits. According to the Dojo's rules, you're entitled to a 10% share of the harvest."
"But since I gave all the Vegetation Spirits down below to Councilor Li, I'll compensate you."
Hong spoke with a smile.
"There's compensation too?"
Luo Feng's eyes lit up at once.
He had thought that once the Dojo's people collected all the Vegetation Spirits below, his 10% share would still be worth a fortune.
But when he saw Councilor Li make Councilor Fal spit blood with nothing more than a cold snort, a thought had flashed through his mind: the Vegetation Spirits below had nothing to do with him.
He hadn't expected Chief Hall Master Hong to compensate him.
"Then what about these Vegetation Spirits of mine, Chief Hall Master?"
Luo Feng glanced at the backpack behind him.
"Haha, what you harvested is yours, of course. You didn't think I'd make you hand those over too, did you?"
Hong shook his head, amused.
"Heh."
Luo Feng grinned sheepishly.
"Come on. I'll take you back first. I happen to have some decent things at my place. Pick two for yourself as compensation."
Hong said.
At those words, Luo Feng's expression changed instantly.
The belongings of the world's strongest man, Hong, Chief Hall Master of the Limit Dojo, couldn't be measured in money.
"But shouldn't we wait for Councilor Li?"
Luo Feng looked toward the golden light over Mist Island below.
"Him? He'll probably go into seclusion for a while after absorbing those Vegetation Spirits. It'll likely take at least two or three months."
"Unless you want to stay here with him?"
Hong shot him a glance and walked into the fighter jet.
"Uh, no, I'd rather not."
Luo Feng was at a loss for words.
There was no way he could wait. The 13 Vegetation Spirits in his backpack were waiting for him to consume them.
The Primordial Wisdom Fighter Jet cut through the sky, heading for the Limit Dojo headquarters.
On the other side of the sky, Councilor Fal saw them go and quickly flew away as well.
He hadn't gained a thing from this trip. Instead, a single cold snort had left his breathing unsteady.
What a loss.
On Mist Island, a field of golden light locked down the ground.
Li Qingxu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. After absorbing 135 Vegetation Spirits, he could clearly feel that he had broken through the first level of the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
His Heart Divine Treasury had reached its peak and entered the state of perfection!
As the possessor of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, he cultivated no deities in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, but instead absorbed energy to strengthen his body.
"The Heart Divine Treasury has transformed into a heavenly sun, strengthening the body."
Flames surged from within him. They were his innate essence, surrounded by acquired essence fire and blazing fiercely.
Li Qingxu seemed to be reborn through fire. His clothes were completely incinerated, leaving his crystalline body shimmering with a mysterious power.
Only after a long time did the essence fire finally disappear, sinking back into his body.
Within the world inside him, mist swirled. He stepped into the next Divine Treasury.
It was like climbing an endless heavenly path. Successfully crossing that step was like the difference between an immortal and a mortal.
The power of the second level of the Dao Palace Realm was many times greater than that of the first, separated by an insurmountable gulf.
The heavenly sun hung high above him, illuminating the road ahead.
Soon, Li Qingxu sensed an incomparably sharp aura. He had found the Lung Divine Treasury, which belonged to metal among the Five Elements.
The Lung Divine Treasury connected to the divine path of spiritual energy and covered the internal organs. It sat at the highest point, was known as the Canopy, and was called the foremost of the five organs.
The essence of Heaven and Earth was purest. The lungs inhaled and exhaled the essence of Heaven and Earth, making them the most important of the five Divine Treasuries.
He felt an exuberant vitality!
More than ten thousand meters beneath Mist Island, a blood-red, triangular spaceship lay dormant.
Each of its three corners was curved, and the spaceship's edges were extremely thin and razor-sharp!
"Beep!"
A sound rang out.
The spaceship's dimly lit hall suddenly lit up. Dazzling light shone down from above, illuminating the entire space.
At the same time, strange light converged in the center of the hall, forming a black holographic figure.
It stood about 1.45 meters tall and looked like a child. Two horns grew from its forehead, its eyes were blood-red, and it wore a black robe.
"Earth actually has a genius like this? That dense golden energy is almost on par with Star Level energy."
"Li Qingxu. Exact identity unknown. Earth age: 20. Brain Domain Width: 40?"
"No!"
The Black-Robed Child seemed to have detected something unbelievable.
The Brain Domain Width of that human named Li Qingxu was actually fluctuating.
Its maximum value had reached a terrifying 99, but in an instant, it dropped to 35. Then it rose to 50 before falling back to 40.
"Just how wide is his brain domain?! How can it keep changing? How could a cosmic prodigy like this appear on such a remote Primitive Star?!"
The Black-Robed Child roared.
It had never encountered a situation like this before. Brain Domain Width only increased when a life form advanced to a higher level.
But this was the first time it had come across something that could decrease.
"No, no! A cosmic prodigy like this must be recruited to become my great master's disciple and join Black Ink Star."
The Black-Robed Child stretched out its arm toward the spaceship's entrance passage, where a pile of white crystals lay.
Then two white crystals flew out of the entrance and headed upward.
"Come, come! Become a disciple of my great master!"
The Black-Robed Child's eyes gleamed.
On Mist Island, Li Qingxu sat cross-legged, his expression serene, like a golden-bodied bodhisattva.
The sea of consciousness between his brows was an endless golden ocean, far larger than the Golden Bitter Sea.
In the calm golden ocean, a golden figure formed out of divine consciousness, then dissolved back into the sea. The next moment, it formed again.
Suddenly, a smile appeared at the corner of Li Qingxu's mouth.
He sensed two objects containing cosmic energy rising from underground.
"Babata tossed out those Wood Bud Crystals himself. No one wants them, so they're his for the taking."
Li Qingxu changed into a new white robe, then slipped into the lake ahead.
Other people had the Demon Emperor Green Lotus, fragments of the Dao Scripture, and the Green Copper Fragment in their Bitter Sea. His, on the other hand, held nothing but a dozen or so black and white robes!
