Outer Domain Battlefield, Star Tower.
Within the colorful passage, Luo Feng was being carried forward by a powerful force, having completely lost control of his body.
"Damn Heaven Array King!"
A hint of regret flashed in Luo Feng's eyes.
He was too trusting. He thought that Heaven Array King was a powerful King Rank among the Human Race, just like him, and that he was also a warm-hearted person. So he trusted him and treated him as a friend, even thinking of saving him when his side was besieged.
Who would have thought that the Heaven Array King would actually collude with the Demon Race —trying to kill him?
"That King Chi Mang might be the Heaven Array King's Soul Slave; we should warn the others."
Luo Feng quickly posted his guess in the Military Merit System.
Although he is a nobody and his words carry little weight, others may not believe him, but they will ultimately be more wary of the Heaven Array King.
" Heaven Array King, once I get out of here, I will definitely kill you!"
Although he didn't know where the passage led, Luo Feng didn't choose to self-destruct. After all, before he entered the passage, a gentle voice rang in his ear, seemingly without any malice.
Soon, the colorful tunnel came to an end.
This is not a Forbidden Space, but a magnificent and mysterious Elder Gu palace.
Where is this?
Luo Feng looked around warily.
Luo Feng, you've arrived!
The gentle voice rang out again. Luo Feng turned his head and saw that a huge figure had appeared on the previously empty throne. The upper body of this figure was human, but the lower body was that of a snake, with purple whiskers hanging down naturally.
Although he didn't exude any imposing aura, he still commanded respect from those around him.
The feeling he got from the other person was similar to meeting his teacher Lord of Myriad Laws.
"Could this be a powerful Universe Master? How does he know my name?"
After entering the Outer Domain Battlefield, Luo Feng went into hiding and never revealed his real name. On the human side, he was called Yang—after joining the Hongmeng Alliance, everyone basically called him by his title, Blade River King.
"Senior."
Luo Feng quickly bowed.
He knew that he had no power to resist such a powerful being.
"Thank you, senior, for saving my life."
"You have Clone, so even if I don't save you, you won't die. Don't be surprised; you have no secrets from me."
The Old, gentle voice spoke again.
"Senior, I have been hiding my identity since I came to the Outer Domain Battlefield. How did you know my name was Luo Feng, and how did you know I had Clone?"
Luo Feng's expression changed slightly.
He seemed to have no secrets in front of this mysterious and powerful figure.
"Because you come from Earth."
This powerful being made no attempt to beat around the bush.
"Earth?"
Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.
"That's right—Earth was actually nurtured and created by my teacher. Earth was originally called the Mountain Sea Realm, then the Origin Star, and now it's called Earth. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Puti, the guardian of the Star Tower, and also the first disciple my teacher took in Endless years ago."
Ignoring Luo Feng's surprised expression, the old man continued.
"Aren't you even a little curious about where that Nameless Secret Codex came from? If it weren't for that Nameless Secret Codex, how could you have achieved the Perfect Gene Level so easily?"
Aren't you curious about who created those Soldier Armor, General Armor, and King Armor?
"Aren't you even a little curious about why this Star Tower gives you a strange sense of attraction?"
These were all things that Luo Feng had been very puzzled about, but now the old man had asked him about them, and then the old man gave him the answers.
"Because it all has to do with my teacher."
"In an incredibly distant era, I was once my teacher's servant. Later, out of consideration for the years I had served him, my teacher took me as his disciple and provided me with abundant cultivation resources, which gave me the opportunity to reach my current level. Logically speaking, my talent was not actually worthy of my teacher taking me as a disciple."
Luo Feng took a deep breath.
Who exactly is this snake-man elder's teacher? Even a great being who seems to be Universe Master, actually...
To say that he was originally unworthy to be the other party's disciple?
"I am the teacher's first student."
"The teacher's second disciple was the Yan Emperor —the leader of the Yan God Race— " Puti's tone was not pleasant when he mentioned this name.
Luo Feng was very familiar with this name. The Yan God Race was once part of the Human Race, but later the Yan Emperor led the clan to break away from the Human Race. The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual he cultivated, as well as the Soldier Armor, General Armor, and King Armor, were all written in the Yan God Race's script.
Then he heard the old man continue speaking.
"Both the Yan God Race Clan and the Earth Lineage were carefully nurtured by our teacher. The Yan Emperor has good talent, but unfortunately, his comprehension and temperament are too poor, which has disappointed our teacher."
"Your Earth Lineage has consumed much of my energy, and I have high hopes for you. As the most outstanding genius of the Earth Lineage, you have secretly passed my test. Now, you only need to successfully recognize this Star Tower as your master, and you will become my third disciple, and then my junior brother."
Puti's gaze softened.
He was very friendly towards this young human who might become his junior brother.
However, Luo Feng did not feel relieved after hearing the purpose of this powerful figure; instead, he became nervous.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Senior—I already have a teacher, and my teacher treats me very well."
"Do you know what you're saying? Your teacher is the Lord of Myriad Laws, merely an ordinary Universe Master, while my teacher is the Universe Supreme Master. Among the Human Race, only the Giant Axe Founder can rival my teacher."
Puti's tone was no longer as composed as before.
In his view, being accepted as a disciple by a teacher was an incredible stroke of luck. He never expected that this little guy at the World Lord Level would have the idea of refusing. The other party certainly didn't know what this meant.
"Perhaps my teacher is not as powerful as the one who created the Earth Lineage, but my teacher's kindness to me is immeasurable. No matter what, I will never betray my teacher."
Luo Feng persisted.
His gaze was resolute.
"Senior saved my life, and Luo Feng is now repaying you with his life. Please don't make things difficult for me."
After speaking, Luo Feng planned to self-destruct.
However, self-destructing in front of a Lord of the Universe is not an easy thing. Puti didn't even flinch, and Luo Feng's surging World Power was completely suppressed.
Even the Shadow Demon Race Clone within the World Ring received the same treatment.
Puti was also shocked by Luo Feng's choice. It turns out that there really are people who can ignore opportunities that could completely change their destiny!
His tone softened slightly as he said, "In the universe, one can't only choose one teacher. Before you Lord of Myriad Laws, didn't you also become the master of Hu Yanbo, a mere minor Marquis? My teacher is the Universe Supreme Master, stronger than the Lord of Myriad Laws. If he becomes your teacher, no one will gossip about you."
Before Luo Feng could respond, he continued.
"Besides, even if you don't care that my teacher is the guide of the Earth Lineage, you have already cultivated that Nameless Secret Codex and received my teacher's inheritance. Do you intend to discard it? Do you know that this Nameless Secret Codex can only be cultivated by one person in the entire Primal Universe?"
"Why don't you ask your teacher, the Lord of Myriad Laws? He might have a different answer."
Go ask the teacher.
Luo Feng was still in a very difficult position.
He didn't know how to bring it up. His teacher had been incredibly kind to him, and if he were to ask his teacher if he could take another teacher, wouldn't that break his teacher's heart?
Perhaps sensing Luo Feng's concerns, Puti smiled and said, "Go ahead and ask. I've already spoken to your teacher."
Do you know my teacher's contact information?
Luo Feng was somewhat skeptical.
"Just by looking at my appearance, you can tell I have a close relationship with humans. Among Human Race, my name is Ti Pu. The Ten Thousand Heart Soul Control Technique that you use to control the Zerg Mother Emperor was created by me."
Ti Pu was just an ordinary Universe Venerable among the Human Race, but who would have thought that his true identity was the eldest disciple of the Sitting Mountain Guest, and also a powerful Universe Master.
Seeing that the other party had even revealed his hidden identity among the Human Race, Luo Feng no longer had any doubts and connected to the Virtual Universe to travel to his teacher's manor on the top of Thunder Mountain.
In the pavilion beside the waterfall.
Lu Qingshan looked at his disciple.
" Ti Pu just emailed me saying you have something to tell me. What is it?"
Luo Feng was dumbfounded when he heard what the teacher said.
He had assumed Ti Pu would tell the teacher everything, but instead, Tip only told the teacher he needed to talk to him about something.
Isn't this redundant? What's the difference between coming directly and doing this yourself?
But now that we've come this far, there's no going back.
He dared not hide anything and recounted everything that had happened inside the Star Tower.
"Master, I do not wish to become anyone else's disciple. If I were to destroy that Nameless Secret Codex— "
"Madness!"
Lu Qingshan frowned slightly.
This was the first time Luo Feng had ever seen his teacher angry. He stood there dumbfounded, not daring to say a word.
"That Sitting Mountain Guest has a mysterious background and is as powerful as the Giant Axe Founder. Moreover, he is capable of using such a powerful secret technique and is also the creator of the Star Tower. Clearly, he has many unknown secrets. Is it not beneath you to become the disciple of such a powerful figure?"
"That's not what I meant," Luo Feng quickly shook his head.
"I know your feelings, but I will not allow my disciple to act on emotion and give up an opportunity that is within my grasp."
"That Nameless Secret Codex is extremely important to you. Without it, your potential will decrease by more than a hundredfold."
"Your Senior Sister Ling Yu was my disciple back then, but she later became the disciple of the Chaos City Lord. Didn't I still favor her just the same? What's the difference?"
Upon hearing his teacher's words, Luo Feng thought about it carefully. Senior Sister Ling Yu was indeed the disciple of the Chaos City Lord, and his teacher had always treated her very well, even better than the other disciples.
"If you still listen to me, your teacher, then put all your effort into recognizing the Star Tower. If you obtain the Star Tower, you will become my help in the future. This is what I expect of you."
Lu Qingshan said slowly.
"Teacher, I understand."
Luo Feng nodded; he dared not disobey his teacher.
Lu Qingshan stood up and continued, "Just do your best. If you succeed, I will be happy for you. Even if you fail, I will immediately revive you. There's no need for any other worries."
"I will certainly work hard and not let my teacher down."
Luo Feng bowed respectfully, then slowly dissipated.
Inside the Star Tower space.
Luo Feng looked at the old man before him and said, "Senior—how should I recognize the Star Tower as my master?"
"It's very simple----"
A hint of joy flashed in Puti's eyes. He had almost ruined his teacher's task just now, but fortunately, the Lord of Myriad Laws was a sensible person.
Although much has been exposed this time, the Lord of Myriad Laws should keep his disciple's secrets. Besides, apart from the Earth Lineage, no one else can claim ownership of the Star Tower.
He waved his hand.
Around the main hall, countless rays of light of various colors converged, and these rays of light slowly condensed in the very center of the hall, eventually transforming into a crystal-clear bead.
The bead slowly fell and came to Luo Feng's side.
" Luo Feng, you can begin the process of acknowledging your master. Before you, the one who persisted the longest lasted 3300 years, but he still failed. Your teacher and I have high hopes for you, and we hope you can succeed."
A glint of anticipation flashed in Puti's eyes.
He has been guarding the Star Tower for far too long.
Now, finally, another person has emerged with the opportunity to successfully claim ownership of the Star Tower.
He didn't find the place boring; after all, he usually only needed to be an avatar here. Today, Luo Feng's arrival prompted him to descend in his true form. His greatest hope was that his teacher could find a true successor.
The teacher would be very happy in that case.
