With the successful recognition of their master, Zhang Junbao and the other two were able to survive.
After failing to recognize the Lord, Hong and Thunder God took their places.
Luo Feng's eyes were filled with a hint of anger, yet also with utter helplessness. Could he possibly refuse in front of Puti?
impossible.
Recognizing the Star Tower as its master is both an opportunity and a crisis. Only if Luo Feng successfully recognizes it as his master can he guarantee that the four will not be killed.
"Senior Puti, I'm ready to acknowledge you as my master!" Luo Feng stepped forward and said.
"Very good. I must tell you, Master is unparalleled in the universe when it comes to crafting treasures. The Universe Supreme Master each have their own strongest methods, and in crafting treasures, Master is absolutely the most powerful in the entire universe!" Puti sighed, "However, in the vast universe and endless worlds, there are many secrets, and even the Universe Supreme Master dare not say they know everything."
This Star Tower was forged by our teacher through a fortuitous encounter in a particularly dangerous secret realm. When he was nearing completion, he incorporated a golden light from the universe, which is how the Star Tower came to be as it is today.
" The Star Tower is one of the Strongest Supreme Treasure in the universe, but compared to other Supreme Treasure, its conditions for recognizing a master are extremely demanding."
"Harsh?" Luo Feng frowned.
"Yes! The stronger the soul of the candidate, the higher the requirements for recognizing the master. The teacher once tried to get World Lord, Immortal, and Universe Venerable to recognize this Star Tower as their master, but they all perished."
Ultimately, it was determined that while World Lord and Immortal still had a sliver of hope of accepting a master, for Universe Venerable, accepting a master meant certain death.
"The greatest test of recognizing God is one's heart and will!"
"That's why the teacher brought out the Earth Lineage, the lineage that has made the most rapid progress in cultivating one's mind and spirit."
"Is this the true reason for the birth of our Earth Lineage? It was only to recognize a treasure as its master that our Earth Lineage came into being."
"Once you fail to recognize the master, your will and soul will completely disintegrate. Even if you are resurrected by Reverse Time and Space, you will not be able to revive your memories of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, nor will you be able to cultivate again. The transformation that your body's genes underwent will also disappear."
Luo Feng took a deep breath. If he lost these, his strength would inevitably decline sharply, which was something he could not tolerate.
" Luo Feng, you will definitely succeed!" Thunder God encouraged through gritted teeth.
"That's right. Although your mental cultivation is not as good as ours, you have taken a completely different path in the first level of mental cultivation. Your willpower is far stronger than ours. No matter how great the difficulties, they cannot defeat you!" Hong said.
Although they also desired Strongest Supreme Treasure like the Star Tower, none of them were willing to exchange Luo Feng's life for the chance to claim the treasure as their own.
Who can say for sure that they won't be able to obtain the Strongest Supreme Treasure in the future?
"I believe you will succeed. You said you would fight alongside me. Now that we have the Star Tower, I'll have to rely on you to protect me!" Zhang Junbao patted Luo Feng's shoulder heavily and said. Although he knew Luo Feng could succeed, the process of recognizing him as a master was still extremely dangerous. This world had already changed because of his arrival, so whether Luo Feng could successfully recognize him as a master was still unknown.
"Here we go!"
The grand hall, surrounded by countless Sealing Star, suddenly trembled with a rumbling sound.
Countless rays of light shone in from all parts of the hall, then converged in the center of the hall, forming a transparent crystal bead with faint golden threads.
" Luo Feng." Puti turned to look at Luo Feng, "The first candidate survived for 2600 years before falling, the second candidate survived for 3300 years before falling, I hope you can survive!"
"Yes!" Luo Feng nodded heavily.
For the future of Earth Lineage, and for the safety of Zhang Junbao and the other two, he had to persevere no matter what.
This was a turning point in Luo Feng's fate!
"Success!"
"We must succeed!" Zhang Junbao and the other two put their hands on Luo Feng's back to encourage him.
At this point, all they could do was strengthen Luo Feng's resolve.
"Then let's begin!"
With a flick of her finger, Puti the seemingly ordinary crystal bead, devoid of any Pingping, flying straight towards Luo Feng. The moment it touched him, the crystal bead merged directly into Luo Feng's mind.
The moment Luo Feng began to acknowledge the master, deep within the vast and endless cosmic currents...
An old man, whose height was over 90,000 kilometers and whose body faintly glowed with black light, sat cross-legged on a floating mountain peak. His expression changed slightly.
He turned to look at the endless void, seemingly seeing the Star Tower within the Seventh Battlefield of the Outer Domain Battlefield through the infinite distance.
"Has the third candidate begun?" A hint of anticipation flickered in the imposing old man's eyes. "I hope that little fellow succeeds!"
"Huh? What's that?"
Seeing that Luo Feng had begun to acknowledge him as his master, Zhang Junbao breathed a sigh of relief; Luo Feng would eventually obtain the Star Tower.
Just then, he suddenly stood up and looked up into the distance.
In the darkness, he felt a pair of eyes looking at him, staring at him.
" Junbao, what's wrong?"
Seeing the solemn look on Zhang Junbao's face, Hong quickly asked.
Zhang Junbao did not answer. His eyes shimmered with Seven-Colored Flowing Light, as if he were seeing another pair of eyes through endless void.
"They actually detected my presence even through the Star Tower!"
A deep voice echoed in Zhang Junbao's mind.
" The Sitting Mountain Guest!"
Zhang Junbao felt as if he had been completely seen through, inside and out. He involuntarily uttered three words.
His heart pounded violently, and his pupils constricted rapidly.
The three words Zhang Junbao uttered remained only on his lips; even Puti, who had activated the Star Tower to recognize Luo Feng as its Luo Feng, did not hear them.
Zhang Junbao sensed being watched; his soul frantically warned him before he finally looked up.
Given his will and state of mind, even if he guessed who the spy was, he wouldn't have been able to directly reveal its name. Yet now he blurted it out, clearly influenced by the will of the Sitting Mountain Guest.
"No, even if the Sitting Mountain Guest is the Universe Supreme Master, it's impossible for him to cross the vast expanse of space to cast his gaze here."
Could he be nearby?
What did he discover?
Is it the secret to my ability to cultivate the Clone Secret Technique? Or is it a wisp of will left behind in my soul by the Original Ancestor?
Or is it my origin itself?
"I'm just World Lord, yet I was able to detect his spying. This defies common sense. What could be the reason?"
Thoughts raced through Zhang Junbao's mind.
He didn't know how far the Sitting Mountain Guest could investigate. Whether it was the Original Ancestor's secret techniques or his own mysteries, it could lead to his death.
If the Sitting Mountain Guest were to develop even the slightest interest in him and want to capture him for dissection and research, even the Giant Axe Founder would likely be unable to save him.
The methods of the Sitting Mountain Guest are far superior to those of the Giant Axe.
He then found himself unable to move, his body bound by an inexplicable force, gradually becoming blurry.
"Boom"
Suddenly, the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation appeared behind him, with nine Law Core flashing continuously, and the World Projection merging into it, trying to regain control of the spacetime around his body.
"Huh?"
"A mere Realm World Lord possesses the power to Control of Space-Time and time, a power usually reserved for Universe Master. That's quite interesting." A smile appeared on the lips of the Sitting Mountain Guest in a secret realm somewhere in the universe.
"However, with your strength, you're dreaming if you think you can seize Space-Time Control from me."
"Not good!" Zhang Junbao was shocked. He wanted to regain his senses, but he couldn't. His will was rapidly sinking. If this continued, even if he wasn't enslaved, all his memories would be thoroughly discovered.
In a secret realm not far from the Star Tower, the Sitting Mountain Guest gazed leisurely, deep and ancient, a glint of light appearing in his eyes, as if he had seen some interesting toy.
This is the Sitting Mountain Guest, the powerful Alien Race that transformed the Earth and gave birth to the Earth Lineage!
After Luo Feng cultivated the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, he had been keeping an eye on Luo Feng.
Over countless years, he has taken in two disciples. The first, Puti, was of Pingping talent but was originally his servant, who was extremely loyal.
The second was the leader of the Yan God Race, Yan Emperor, but unfortunately, Yan Emperor greatly disappointed him.
That's why Luo Feng was required to undergo the Star Tower test.
This will be his third disciple, and the Sitting Mountain Guest has high hopes for him, both in terms of his mindset and aptitude.
Therefore, when Luo Feng recognized him as his master, he quietly descended to the vicinity.
When she noticed Luo Feng beginning to acknowledge her as his master, she took a second look.
Upon seeing Zhang Junbao arrive, one couldn't help but feel curious. After all, Zhang Junbao was hailed as a peerless genius, a talent unparalleled in hundreds of millions of years of Human Race, who had clearly surpassed Luo Feng. The Sitting Mountain Guest had naturally heard of him.
What intrigued him even more was that Luo Feng's Nine Tribulations Secret Manual was actually given to him by Zhang Junbao.
Out of curiosity, they examined it and discovered an incredible secret.
"A World Lord was actually able to sense my gaze! Even Puti couldn't do that, how did he manage it?"
The Sitting Mountain Guest found it unbelievable, after all, Zhang Junbao's level was far, far below his own.
In his eyes, the World Lord was not even an ant.
What intrigued him even more was that Zhang Junbao actually knew his name.
"Looking across the entire universe, how many people truly know me? Even if he's a genius, a mere World Lord, he couldn't possibly know information at my level. Nor could he possibly conclude it's me just because he discovered someone spying on me!"
Upon further investigation, he discovered that Zhang Junbao's Life Gene Level had increased by a thousandfold.
"Humanity 'World Lord, life genes have actually reached this level! Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Even Luo Feng, who cultivated the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, did not have a higher level of life. Moreover, I paid a huge price to find the strange crystal that could be burned into the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.
" The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is suppressed by the Universe Origin, so Luo Feng could never teach it to anyone else. How then did he enhance his life genes?"
"Could it be that powerful humans have secretly deduced a method to enhance genes?"
" Giant Axe? No, he can't do that!"
"In the Original Universe, there is simply no one strong enough to qualify!"
"It came from the Universe Ocean? They wouldn't dare come in, and there shouldn't be any of the Universe Supreme Master who could do that."
The Sitting Mountain Guest was shaken and wanted to continue investigating the secrets hidden within Zhang Junbao.
After all, there aren't many secrets that can be kept hidden in the Original Universe.
Suddenly, the Sitting Mountain Guest vaguely felt the will of the entire Universe Origin pressing down on him, crushing even a trace of his will.
A faint, almost imperceptible aura suddenly appeared.
"This aura!" The Sitting Mountain Guest suddenly turned his head and looked at the void beside him.
The void surrounding his body rapidly changed, transforming from a dark void into a dazzling starry sky.
"You are... the Original Ancestor of the Human Race!" The Sitting Mountain Guest exhaled, a hint of surprise on his face as he spoke.
" Virtual Universe? You actually managed to use the will of the Universe Origin to pressure me and pull me into Virtual Universe. Have you succeeded?" The Sitting Mountain Guest was somewhat horrified.
He still hasn't forgotten how insane the Original Ancestor's actions were; even he himself was in awe of his own.
"No. Although I am rejected by the Universe Origin, it seems to dislike you even more."
The Original Ancestor figure slowly materialized from the void, dressed in white with white hair, yet possessing no power whatsoever, like a projection in a Virtual Universe.
He was the Human Race sage who created the Virtual Universe Network, a man who once single-handedly subdued the entire Universe Ocean.
He guided the Giant Axe to grow.
The Chaos City Lord is his disciple.
Human Race also developed rapidly due to the Virtual Universe, becoming the number one race in the universe.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the number one being in the Universe Ocean.
If his idea hadn't been so incredibly insane back then, angering the Universe Origin Will, Human Race would probably still be ruling the entire Original Universe today.
"Just now...!" The Sitting Mountain Guest suddenly stopped, "You already knew about Zhang Junbao's special abilities? Did you tell him about my existence?"
He is my disciple.
"Your disciple? That Chaos is just someone who took on disciples on your behalf! What a clever scheme!"
"What is so special about him that you need to personally take him as a disciple, and why you're going to such lengths to bring me here?" the Sitting Mountain Guest asked curiously.
He knew that the Original Ancestor was suppressed by the Universe Origin, but he didn't know how the Primordial Ancestor colluded with the Universe Origin to put pressure on him, which allowed the Original Ancestor to successfully pull him into the Virtual Universe.
Regardless, the price the Original Ancestor paid to achieve this was definitely not small.
Even if he were the Chaos City Lord, it wouldn't be worth him doing this.
"Compared to him, I am more curious about you Universe Supreme Master with a mysterious and unpredictable origin, who is so feared by the Original Universe."
Being constantly watched by the Universe Origin, you dare not make any big moves. That's why you've never truly engaged in direct combat with any powerful being, isn't it? Because you're afraid, so you can only resort to petty tricks. Am I right?
The Sitting Mountain Guest felt his heart pound. "How do you know all this?"
"I know a lot more!" The Original Ancestor smiled mysteriously, " The Universe Origin was actually willing to let me infiltrate so much power in order to stop you, and even took the initiative to put pressure on you. How exhilarating!"
For the first time in so many years, I've been collaborating with the Universe Origin, and it's all because of you, Sitting Mountain Guest! I have to thank you!
The Sitting Mountain Guest was extremely frustrated. The Universe Origin, in order to prevent him from probing Zhang Junbao, had actually allowed the Original Ancestor to reveal his power. Could it be that Zhang Junbao would allow him to Destruction the entire Original Universe?
You must understand that the things the Original Ancestor did were absolutely heinous crimes against the Universe Origin!
"What is his background?" The Sitting Mountain Guest pointed in the direction of the Star Tower.
He knew that it was no simple matter to make the Universe Origin pay such a high price.
His secrets should never have been known by the Original Ancestor, nor by any powerful being in the Original Universe.
But, unfortunately, the Original Ancestor found out.
This reminded him of how Zhang Junbao had immediately noticed his identity.
