Luo Feng Takes a Master

Jiang Xian stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the skeletal remains as he spoke in an even tone.

"This corpse belonged to an Immortal Level expert."

"Immortal?" Luo Feng was shaken. He had never heard of such a realm.

Jiang Xian took the opportunity to slowly lay out the universe's entire cultivation system for him, explaining every word clearly and systematically.

"Madman, I mentioned this briefly before: Earth's warrior, War General Level, and war god realms are collectively called the Apprentice Level. The Councilor Level on Earth today is the Planetary Level."

"Only after surpassing the ninth apprentice rank do you truly step onto the path of cultivation in the universe. The first realm is the Planetary Level. You condense a Miniature Planet, can fly with your physical body, survive without oxygen, and live for a thousand years. It's also the minimum threshold for venturing into the universe.

"Above the Planetary Level is the Star Level. Your sea of consciousness develops into a complete miniature stellar system, and your lifespan reaches one epoch. On an ordinary inhabited planet, you can reign as king.

"Above the Star Level is the Universe Level. Your sea of consciousness becomes a nebula, and you can cross the starry sky with your physical body. You count as someone of a little standing within a star domain.

"After the Universe Level comes the Domain Lord Level. You master a complete domain and begin to touch upon the origin laws. Your soul hides within your Life Core, making you very difficult to kill completely. Domain lords form the middle-ranking backbone of the major Universe Countries.

"When you break through after reaching the perfection of the Domain Lord Level, a miniature world forms within your body, bringing you to the World Lord Level. At the peak world lord stage, you must completely comprehend one lower law and transform your internal world into a divine kingdom before you can forge an Immortal Divine Body and become an Immortal God. Immortal Level experts have endless lifespans. Immortals are further divided into three tiers: Immortal Army Lords, Marquis Immortals, and King-level Immortals."

The two continued onward and reached a lavish hall. To his shock, Luo Feng discovered another six corpses before him.

"Were all these corpses important figures in the universe when they were alive?" Luo Feng asked Jiang Xian.

"There are differences even among immortals. Ordinary Immortal Army Lords and Marquis Immortals can only be considered cannon fodder that can take a beating in the universe as a whole. Only King-level Immortals barely qualify as important figures," Jiang Xian said as he walked.

The instant he finished speaking!

A clear, arrogant child's voice suddenly rang out through the empty hall:

"Nonsense!"

Blue light flashed in midair, and a tiny figure with two pointed horns on the forehead instantly appeared, floating in the air and glaring indignantly at Jiang Xian, utterly unconvinced.

"Marquis Immortals are truly peerless experts in the universe! They roam the universe, unrivaled in their own regions! How dare you call Marquis Immortals cannon fodder? You Earth native, don't spout nonsense."

Jiang Xian remained composed and did not argue with Babata, merely smiling faintly. "A frog at the bottom of a well knows nothing of how vast the world is. In your eyes, Luo Feng and I are Earth natives, but in my eyes, aren't you just another native? Heh."

"Enough pointless talk. You've presumably already detected Luo Feng's brain domain width, so hurry up and have him take his master. Once he's done, I'll make a deal with you," Jiang Xian told Babata.

"Y-you, just who are you? How do you know I'm looking for someone to receive the inheritance? And why can't I detect your brain domain width?" Babata asked in surprise.

Jiang Xian had cultivated the Great Five Elements Art and directly blocked Babata's perception. Naturally, Babata could detect nothing.

"Hurry up and have Luo Feng take his master. We'll discuss the rest once the process is over, or we're leaving." Jiang Xian did not want to waste any more time.

Babata had waited fifty thousand years before finally finding someone with suitable aptitude. Babata was truly afraid Jiang Xian would take Luo Feng and leave outright.

"Luo Feng, come with me. I'll take you to kneel before Master."

"Go on, Luo Feng. Go take your master," Jiang Xian told Luo Feng.

Babata and Luo Feng headed toward the transparent crystal coffin. On the way, they briefly got to know each other, and only then did Luo Feng learn that Babata was an intelligent life. They then arrived before the crystal coffin.

"Babata, how should I take him as my master?" Luo Feng looked at Babata.

"Normally, taking a master in the universe involves many complicated ceremonies, but things are different now. Master passed away long ago, so there's no need for so many complicated rituals. All you need to do is go before Master's remains and kowtow eight times," Babata replied.

Following Babata's instructions, Luo Feng respectfully kowtowed eight times before the remains, each time striking his forehead against the floor.

"From this day onward, you are Yun Mo Star's sole inheritor and Master's only living direct disciple," Babata declared solemnly.

Babata and Luo Feng soon finished everything and returned to the magnificent hall.

"All right, Luo Feng has taken his master. Can you answer Lord Babata's questions now?" Babata flew a circle around Jiang Xian and asked curiously.

"First, I'm from the Fenglingyueying Sect. As for why I knew you were looking for someone to receive the inheritance, that's because our Fenglingyueying Sect has unique information channels. Lastly, you couldn't detect my brain domain width because I blocked you," Jiang Xian replied.

Jiang Xian was a little curious about his current brain domain width, so he removed the block on Babata.

"Babata, I've removed the block now. Check my brain domain width for me."

"How is this possible? A brain domain width of 91. Jiang Xian, would you like to take my master as yours too? I have plenty of resources and secret techniques here." Babata had never seen such a high brain domain width.

"Babata, I've already joined the Fenglingyueying Sect. Our sect has extremely deep foundations, and the vast majority of its members don't take masters. So let's get straight to the deal." Jiang Xian rubbed his hands together.

"Kid, what do you want to trade with me?" Seeing that Jiang Xian actually refused to take a master, Babata felt a little sad. If Jiang Xian became Master's disciple, his talent would give him a very good chance of avenging Master.

"I need these six immortal corpses. In exchange, I can let you easily obtain a Golden Horned Beast suitable for possession. How about it?"

"What, a Golden Horned Beast? One of the twelve supreme bloodlines of the starry sky behemoths, universally recognized as one of the very best behemoth bloodlines. If you're telling the truth, why don't you possess him yourself?" Babata asked in shock. Even selling all of Yun Mo Star would not be enough to afford a Golden Horned Beast.

"Of course I'm telling the truth. As for why I'm not possessing him myself, it's because my own talent far exceeds that of a Golden Horned Beast," Jiang Xian replied to Babata.

"Deal. These six immortal corpses are yours. How do we obtain the Golden Horned Beast? I want Luo Feng to possess him," Babata said immediately.

Luo Feng looked utterly shocked. How had this conversation suddenly ended with me about to stop being human?

Although the teacher he had just taken, Hu Yanbo, had also possessed another body, at least he had looked human. From the name alone, his own would clearly be a monster.

"The Golden Horned Beast is one of the twelve supreme bloodlines of the starry sky behemoths. He has a natural affinity for the Law of Gold and the Space Law, and reaches the World Lord Level upon adulthood. He's born with three heaven-defying innate secret techniques-Devour, Enhancement, and Clone. Madman, after possessing him, you can use the Clone Secret Technique to create a human clone," Jiang Xian explained upon seeing Luo Feng's expression.
