Virtual Universe, Thunder Mountain.
The waterfall cascades down, its waters gurgling softly.
Lu Qingshan was sitting in the pavilion, holding a glass of fine wine in his hand, savoring its taste.
"Teacher!"
Luo Feng appeared out of thin air and bowed respectfully.
" Luo Feng?" Lu Qingshan put down his wine glass and smiled slightly. "Weren't you adventuring in the Inner Domain of Universe Boat? Why are you suddenly looking for me? Have you run into some trouble?"
"Master, I did encounter some problems in the Flame Ice Domain."
Luo Feng strode to the pavilion and sat down, then recounted in detail the emergence of the Tomb Ship and the appearance of various forces such as the Lord Lu Chong and the Divine Eye Clan.
" The Tomb Ship?" Lu Qingshan raised an eyebrow slightly, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Of course he knew what it was.
In the original timeline, what appeared in the Flame Ice Domain was not an ordinary Tomb Ship, but the Tomb Ship where the Duan Donghe Lineage was located.
However, he wouldn't tell Luo Feng directly. Hearing his disciple's question, he explained.
"These Tomb Ship are extremely rare. In the three Reincarnation Era, there are only a few recorded instances, and they were basically all acquired by the Two Great Holy Lands. The Human Race indeed has no detailed records of these Tomb Ship."
He paused, then continued, "Our Human Race has no records, but the Two Great Holy Lands certainly know. The Divine Eye Clan and the Skeleton Race might also know something, after all, they are veteran powers from the First Reincarnation Era and should have some understanding of the Tomb Ship."
"Teacher, what should I do?"
Luo Feng pressed for an answer, which was exactly what he expected.
"You mean the Lord Lu Chong wants to cooperate with you?" Lu Qingshan countered.
"Yes, he sent me a telepathic message saying we could work together. I'm still considering it and haven't given him an answer yet," Luo Feng nodded.
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, " The Lord Lu Chong knows that you cannot possibly know the detailed information about the Tomb Ship, which is why he chose to cooperate with you. This way, he can reduce some of the threat and have an extra ally. Since that's the case, you should agree to his request."
"Say yes?" Luo Feng was taken aback.
" The Lord Lu Chong is Sixth-Order Universe Master of the Purple Moon Holy Land, and he knows far more about the Tomb Ship than you do. By following him, you at least won't get lost, and you should be able to reach the core of the Tomb Ship."
Lu Qingshan continued his analysis, "With all forces present, the Lord Lu Chong is the strongest and also the Lord of the Holy Land Universe, so he will inevitably be besieged. Only he will lead you to the core location. Only by going there will you have a chance to pick up any leftovers."
"Finding a bargain?" Luo Feng pondered. "Yes." Lu Qingshan nodded, smiling as he said, " The Universe Ocean has only seen a few Tomb Ship appear. Rumor has it that each Tomb Ship is different. How much can the Holy Land Universe know? At most, they're just more experienced. Don't reveal your full strength at the beginning. They don't know you, and that's your advantage."
"Disciple understands."
Luo Feng nodded solemnly.
"Go." Lu Qingshan waved his hand. "Be careful. If there is any danger, contact me immediately. The location of the Giant Axe is not far from the Flame Ice Domain. If you obtain the Tomb Ship, I will have the Giant Axe come to pick you up... Although the Tomb Ship is not as Palace Supreme Supreme Treasure, it is far superior to the Peak Palace Supreme Treasure, and it can also travel to the Mausoleum. It is indeed a great opportunity."
"Yes, teacher."
Luo Feng bowed respectfully, and his figure vanished.
In the pavilion, Lu Qingshan picked up his wine cup, took a small sip, and looked towards the direction of the Universe Ocean.
" The Tomb Ship... Duan Donghe Inheritance..."
He smiled slightly.
" Luo Feng, it's all up to you this time."
Lu Qingshan had plenty of confidence in his disciple, Luo Feng, whose strength had increased significantly compared to the original timeline. When the Duan Donghe Inheritance was first revealed, Luo Feng, relying on the Shi Wu Wings, was only Fourth-Order Universe Master, comparable to the Lord of Ice Peak.
But now...
With the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique, the Supreme Supreme Treasure Armor, and the evolved Shi Wu Wings, Luo Feng is fully capable of unleashing the power of Level 6.
This level of strength is vastly different from what it used to be.
They are very powerful.
The probability of inheriting the legacy will be higher; if they could have succeeded in the first place, they won't necessarily fail now.
As for the Duan Donghe Inheritance.
Although Lu Qingshan was interested, he would not participate in the test. He had no intention of competing with his disciples for the opportunity, and besides, there were certain risks involved in participating in the inheritance.
The Universe Supreme Master member of the Divine Eye Clan in the universe was killed by Duan Donghe using the design of the Tomb Ship... Lu Qingshan was not sure if he could withstand that kind of method.
Although he has Clone, a strong will, and Supreme Supreme Treasure for soul defense, there is no need to take the risk, even if it is only slightly dangerous.
It's just a matter of inheritance.
It was just a chance to get cash back. Not long ago, he had obtained the " Origin of Life " through Luo Feng's cash back, which should be considered a core sequence even if it were included in Duan Donghe Inheritance.
And the faster Luo Feng grows...
It will also benefit him more.
Although he wouldn't participate in the Duan Donghe Inheritance, he was still somewhat interested in the Rhino Emperor Game. He could wait until the trial began and have Luo Feng materialize the Rhino Emperor Game in the Virtual Universe so he could participate in its research.
Outside the Flame Ice Domain, on the Tomb Ship.
Luo Feng's consciousness returned, and his gaze swept over the several streaks of Flowing Light in the distance.
" Silver Wing Lord, what's your decision?"
The Lord Lu Chong transmitted his question telepathically.
" Lord Lu Chong, I agree to cooperate with you," Luo Feng replied. "However, you must also keep your promise and tell me about the Tomb Ship."
"Haha, don't worry," the Lord Lu Chong laughed. "I'll send you the information about the Tomb Ship now. After that, you just need to cooperate with me to cast my domain and hold them off."
"Deal." Luo Feng flapped his wings and flew to the side of the Lord Lu Chong, thus making his position clear.
At this moment, the voice of the Lord Ying Ai rang out. " Lu Chong, you certainly know how to win people over. That Silver Wing Lord is just a little fellow from the Third Reincarnation Era, what use could he be?"
"Heh, the Giant Axe Founder and the Lord of Myriad Laws also came from the Third Reincarnation Era. Do you dare to say such things in front of them?" The Lord Lu Chong sneered.
"Hmph." The Lord Wu Liang snorted coldly, ceasing his mockery. After all, he truly couldn't afford to offend those two. He looked at Luo Feng and warned, " Silver Wing Lord, you should think carefully. Following Lu Chong might not end well."
"Thank you for the reminder," Luo Feng said calmly, "But I have my own plans."
"Since the Silver Wing Lord is willing, then we have nothing more to say." The Lord Ying Ai said no more.
The Tomb Ship continued to rise.
After another half month, they finally escaped the Black Swamp and floated in mid-air.
At that very moment, a white light streaked past the assembled Universe Master at incredible speed, heading straight for the Tomb Ship.
The white, skeletal figure stopped in front of the Tomb Ship and began to try to recognize it as its master, but it was obviously to no avail.
"Idiot!"
The Lord Ying Ai of the Divine Eye Clan spoke up. "Indeed foolish, but aren't all the Skeleton Race like this? They're all idiots. What do they know? They probably haven't even seen the Tomb Ship."
The Lord Ying Ai, standing beside the Lord Wu Liang, also laughed, his words full of sarcasm.
"We, the Skeleton Race, have never seen Tomb Ship. Have you, the Divine Eye Clan, ever obtained one? Don't even mention your Divine Eye Clan; even in the Holy Land Universe, how many Tomb Ship have you seen? How do you know if it works if you don't try? You idiots of the Divine Eye Clan!"
"Idiot!"
"Idiot!"
Before the Universe Boat's hatch even opened, the Skeleton Race's Universe Master and the Divine Eye Clan started hurling insults at each other, bringing a bit of amusement to the waiting period.
However, the Skeleton Race only has one Universe Master, while the Divine Eye Clan has two. The Lord Ying Ai and the Lord Wu Liang, a husband and wife duo, worked together and naturally gained the upper hand in the war of words.
However, they only verbally abused each other but did not actually attack.
After all, the Tomb Ship is about to open; if we act now, it will only deplete our divine power and benefit others.
Another month or so passed.
More powerful figures from the Flame Ice Domain arrived one after another, and they too felt the fluctuations as if a supreme Supreme Treasure had been born here.
At this moment, there are five forces in total. They are two from the Divine Eye Clan, one from the Skeleton Race, one Lord Lu Chong from the Purple Moon Holy Land, one from the First Ancestral God Cult, and finally, Luo Feng, representing the Human Race.
At first glance, the Human Race appears to be the weakest, but in reality, Luo Feng's strength is no less than that of the Lord Lu Chong.
Rumble!!!
The ship began to shake.
The Endless Black Swamp surrounding the Tomb Ship began to boil violently.
"The hatch is opening!" came the voice of the Lord Lu Chong. " Silver Wing Lord, follow me, let's join forces to hold off the others' attacks."
"I know!" Luo Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, ready to act.
Rumble.
The hatch of the Tomb Ship slowly opened.
Luo Feng and the Lord Lu Chong both rode in the Palace Supreme Treasure and flew towards the Tomb Ship.
"Follow them, especially the Lord Lu Chong; he might know where the core control room is."
"We can't let the Lord Lu Chong escape!" Behind them, the powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan also followed.
As expected.
The Lord Lu Chong was the strongest and knew the most about the Tomb Ship, so he was besieged by the others.
The Lord Lu Chong alone might not be able to withstand the attack, but with Luo Feng by his side, the two of them working together easily blocked all the attacks.
Luo Feng did as the teacher instructed.
They didn't fully demonstrate their abilities.
He only temporarily displayed strength close to the Level 5, but even so, it greatly surprised the other experts. They originally thought that Luo Feng was at most only at the initial Level 4.
Within the Tomb Ship, there are countless corridors.
After fending off the attacks of the others, they quickly moved away, weaving through the corridors and soon shaking off their pursuers.
A long time passed after that.
Led by the Lord Lu Chong, they arrived at a bronze gate. This Elder Gu gate looked extremely majestic and was clearly not an ordinary place.
"This should be the control room." A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the Lord Lu Chong.
This Tomb Ship wasn't much different from the Tomb Ship he knew, and he found the core control room immediately.
boom!!
The door was pushed open.
Inside the control room, exquisite decorations were everywhere, exuding an antique charm.
" The Control Core should be here."
The Lord Lu Chong scanned his surroundings and began his search.
Luo Feng didn't stand on ceremony, spreading his divine power to explore every corner.
The Lord Lu Chong told him most of the information about the Tomb Ship and brought him here as agreed, but he also kept something from him: how to find the core and how to recognize a master. These crucial details were not told to him.
Luo Feng had no choice but to search for the Control Core and a way to establish a bond with it himself. But after searching for a long time, he found no clues.
He looked at the Lord Lu Chong.
The Lord Lu Chong was also searching, but after a moment, his expression changed slightly, revealing disbelief: "How could there be none?" "Is this not the core control room?" Luo Feng asked.
"Impossible! I can't be mistaken, this is the core control room." The Lord Lu Chong shook his head. "Moreover, the core of the Tomb Ship must be here."
But no...
Luo Feng also frowned slightly.
They arrived first, but failed to discover the Control Core. Even the Lord Lu Chong was unaware of what was happening.
They had no choice but to search again.
Immediately afterwards.
The Divine Eye Clan, the Skeleton Race, and the powerful figures from the Ancestral God Religion of the First Reincarnation Era all arrived... but they, too, failed to find the location of the Control Core.
Forget about recognizing a master, they can't even find the core, so there's no chance of recognizing a master at all.
Just as everyone was wondering, an invisible energy descended.
On the throne in front of the control room, countless points of light converged, gradually forming a figure.
It was a blue-haired human man, dressed in magnificent armor, with cold eyes. He looked down and spoke slowly.
"My name is... Duan Donghe Wu..."
