"This is the North Prison Token." The Sitting Mountain Guest tossed out a dark blue -Black Token.

Luo Ao took it casually. This thing should just be a simple communication token, but the material is also of the Supreme Treasure level.

"After you acknowledge this token as your master, you can issue orders to your servants through this North Prison Command Token," Zuoshan Rong instructed. "All your servants are Universe Venerable, and they each manage other Special Lifeform."

" The Empress Feiye and the other two are also servants?" Luo Ao's eyes lit up. These three were all Top Universe Overlord who were no less powerful than the human Tian Shi Palace Master. In particular, the Empress Feiye could hold her own against even weaker Universe Master for a while.

"That's right. Back then, when I created the identity of the North Prison Lord, I unintentionally saved some Special Lifeform during my adventures in the universe. They prayed to serve me as their master... I am of Special Lifeform form origin, so I also took care of some little guys."

"The longer this goes on, the more of these little guys I have under my command. With some guidance from me, some have even become Universe Venerable, including three Top Universe Overlord —the three you saw earlier. You can learn some basic information about these 21 through the North Prison Command Token. I will protect them for countless years; please take care of them as well as you can."

"Understood." Luo Ao nodded immediately.

" The Ruyi Divine Armor, the Myriad Tribulations Spear, the North Prison... you have obtained them all."

"The teacher has done everything he could."

"As for how far you can go next, that depends on your own abilities."

"Teacher, I wonder what the mystery is behind that drop of 'blood' I fused with?" Luo Ao asked, noticing that his teacher, the Sitting Mountain Guest, seemed to have never mentioned this matter.

He could sense that the drop of Immortal blood was an extremely high-level existence, and that it had only helped him elevate his Life Gene Level to perfection; this was merely the tip of the Iceberg.

"The origin of this drop of blood is indeed astonishing. I only know that its owner is named 'Yan'." The Sitting Mountain Guest gave Luo Ao a deep look, then spoke again, "However, I don't have any matching secret methods or techniques to unlock the true mysteries contained within this drop of blood. Everything depends on you."

"The only thing I can tell you is to focus on exploring the bloodline of the Yan God Race itself." After saying that, the Sitting Mountain Guest disappeared into thin air once again.

"Excavating the bloodline itself?"

Luo Ao stood there stunned for a long time. He could feel the expectation in the Sitting Mountain Guest's eyes, the kind of expectation one has when watching a child grow up.

"Given my Sitting Mountain Guest's consistent style, this drop of 'Yan' blood definitely possesses incredible potential." Luo Ao clearly remembered that the original work mentioned that the Yan God Race originally hoped to successfully follow the path of Divine Power Flow and had a very high probability of reaching the third level of ' Infinite Divine Body '.

" Yan Emperor did not have any clones, so naturally he could not have the Innate Secret Technique of creating Nether Sea Clone. At that time, there was no profound inheritance like ' Duan Donghe ' in the universe..." However, even so, the Sitting Mountain Guest still hoped that Yan Emperor could achieve the ' Infinite Divine Body '.

" The Divine Power Path is extremely difficult in itself, and the third level is even more difficult..."

If it's said that even one in ten thousand Universe Master would fail to successfully "launch a divine power," then to reach the third level, it's safe to say that even one in ten thousand True God who launch a divine power attack would struggle to reach the third level.

Even among the successive inheritors of the ' Duan Donghe ' lineage, who could all succeed by following the divine power route thanks to their profound lineage, only two had reached the third level. And both of them had extraordinary encounters and good fortune.

Even Luo Feng himself was able to achieve the ' Infinite Divine Body ' due to a combination of factors, including inheritance and the ability to create the Nether Sea Clone.

"So it seems that the Yan God Race Clan really only relies on this drop of 'Yan' blood." Luo Ao now felt more and more that the drop of 'blood' he had previously fused with was extraordinary.

"Profound inheritance, special secret techniques, and fortuitous encounters and luck—all these factors combined are only equivalent to the value of this drop of 'Yan' blood." Luo Ao finally understood what the ' Yan Emperor ' had missed back then.

To say that we lost a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed is too conservative an expression; this is actually losing a mountain of gold!

"However, it's clear that even Master Sitting Mountain Guest only has a superficial understanding of the secrets of 'Yan's' blood." Luo Ao estimated in his heart that this 'Yan' was definitely a truly extraordinary being, at least far stronger than Sitting Mountain Guest himself.

"Next, let's summon Empress Feiye and the other two." Luo Ao then picked up the North Prison Command Token's Order. His teacher, Sitting Mountain Guest, had instructed him to take care of these Special Lifeform to the best of his ability, and he naturally had to do his part as well.

However, this lineage has developed into a powerful force, boasting three Top Universe Overlord, including Empress Feiye, and 18 other Universe Venerable, all of whom are Special Lifeform. The weakest among them is nearly as strong as an ordinary Universe Overlord. Therefore, he really doesn't know what he can do to help in front of the Universe Master.

Grant me a powerful Supreme Treasure? Give me a damn!

He himself only has two powerful Supreme Treasure, which are barely enough to arm his strongest combat force, the Yan God Race Clone. The Supreme Treasure of his other three clones are still nowhere to be found.

Through the North Prison Command Token, Luo Ao directly notified Empress Feiye and the other two to come see him.

"Our master wants to see us." The three Venerable Chilan immediately received this message.

"He succeeded." A strange light shone in Venerable Xiwu's eyes.

"I never imagined that this little fellow would become our master in the blink of an eye." Empress Feiye also felt a mix of emotions at this moment.

Actually, a long time ago, if the ' Yan Emperor ' had passed the test honestly, he would have become their master. However, the Yan Emperor passed the test by cheating, which displeased his master. Therefore, although the master bestowed upon him the North Prison and the North Prison Bead, he did not allow them to follow the other party.

It was then that Empress Feiye and the others learned the true identity of the North Prison Lord, who was none other than the renowned lone wolf and the Universe Supreme Master in the universe— the Sitting Mountain Guest.

"It's a pity that our master has no intention of establishing a power, otherwise..." Empress Feiye shook her head and sighed, then went with Xiwu and Chilan to see their new master.

Those who pass the trial normally will become their new masters. This is the last order given by the old master, and even the Empress Feiye does not intend to disobey it.

After all, if it weren't for the old master's rescue, she, Xiwu, Chilan, and their other brothers and sisters wouldn't have been able to grow up to where they are today.

Vast, crimson vines, a massive, snow-white cloud, and Lava Mountain Giant ten thousand kilometers tall... all advanced together through the blood mist, flying towards the gates of the North Prison.

The palace gates were wide open.

Three streaks of Flowing Light flashed in.

Inside the main hall of the North Prison.

Luo Ao sat on a grotesque, pitch-black throne, looking like a ferocious demon king. Meanwhile, the three Top Universe Overlord — Empress Feiye, Lord Xiwu, and Venerable Chilan —shrank in size and stood on the steps beneath him.

"Greetings, Master." The three Top Universe Overlord, including the Empress Feiye, knelt down without hesitation.

"Rise." On the dark blue throne, Flame God Luo Ao sat calmly, looking down at the three of them.

Since the three of them already knew his identity, he didn't bother to pretend to be the North Prison Lord.

"From today onwards, I am the new North Prison Lord. I received this title from my teacher and will try my best to protect your lineage in the future. However, there is nothing I can do right now." The title of North Prison Lord is one that everyone in the universe despises, and it is impossible for him to openly protect any force.

So all he could do was the same thing the Sitting Mountain Guest had done before: occasionally step in to help from the shadows.

"I'm currently focusing most of my energy on my own cultivation, and I'll rarely come to the Hongya Secret Realm again. So, I'll leave all the matters concerning those little guys to you."

If you encounter a problem that you cannot resolve, then please let me know.

To be honest, unless someone becomes Universe Master or even the Universe Supreme Master, the existence of this small force of Special Lifeform forms makes little difference. After all, below the Universe Master, the three of them, including Empress Feiye, are more than capable of handling them.

If he really runs into a tough opponent, Luo Ao's current strength is not enough to break the deadlock.

Therefore, in the short term, Hongya Secret Realm will remain the same as it was before and after.

"Master, are you really going to just abandon us like this and never care about us again?" Upon hearing the words of their new master, neither Venerable Chilan nor Empress Feiye showed any surprise. However, Lord Xiwu, who had transformed into a girl in a white dress, suddenly uttered a pitiful and sorrowful plea.

The Lord Xiwu's true form is Formless and Faceless cloud of mist. However, the image of the white-clad girl she conjured resembled that of a pitiful princess.

At this moment, the princess, dressed in a white gauze dress that seemed as transparent as crystal, looked so pitiful that she was about to cry, which was truly heartbreaking.

"Second sister, what are you doing!" Seeing Lord Xiwu acting coquettishly at the slightest provocation, Empress Feiye was also somewhat stunned, and quickly used her divine power to transmit her anger.

"Even if you say that, it seems there's nothing I can do." Luo Ao glanced at the princess in the white dress, whose proportions were practically perfect, and looked helpless.

"Impossible! Master, you must be able to do something for us..." At this moment, Lord Xiwu stared intently at him with his azure eyes and transmitted his divine power directly to him.

"What exactly does Lord Xiwu want to do?" Luo Ao couldn't help but frown. He didn't think that a Top Universe Overlord had lived for countless epochs could really be a spoiled and difficult little princess.

"What exactly do you want?" Luo Ao was too lazy to watch the other party's act and directly asked through divine power.

"I want my master to help me..." Upon hearing Lord Xiwu's reply, Luo Ao couldn't help but frown again.

It turns out that Lord Xiwu wanted him to help her take revenge. However, the enemy she was referring to was a Top Universe Overlord was equally formidable. Moreover, the enemy came from a powerful force in the universe and had the Universe Master as his backer.

This matter is not so simple to carry out. Moreover, Lord Xiwu understands that the old master will not intervene in such matters.

Although the old master rescued them on a whim, it was only because he enjoyed playing around and acting on a whim. He would never specifically target any one of them because of their individual circumstances.

Therefore, Lord Xiwu naturally set his sights on this 'new master'.

Moreover, Lord Xiwu was not acting blindly, but with a clear purpose. Although she could not guess the true purpose of the Sitting Mountain Guest's training of his disciple, she keenly sensed that the other party clearly valued her as his new disciple.

That Yan Emperor, who had disappointed him, is now a powerful figure at the level of Universe Master, dominating the universe. This new disciple, who has attracted his attention, couldn't possibly be inferior to the Yan Emperor, could he?

Once she grows up, she will naturally have the strength to help her take revenge.

"This matter..." Luo Ao himself planned to kill ten Top Universe Overlord while still at the Universe Venerable stage. However, he couldn't just agree to Lord Xiwu's request so easily; he'd have to pay a price, wouldn't he?

"Okay, I'll be going now."

Ultimately, neither Empress Feiye nor Venerable Chilan knew what exactly was said between Lord Xiwu and their new master.

In short, Lord Xiwu clearly left with the other party.

"What exactly is this girl planning?" Empress Feiye frowned, looking in the direction where Lord Xiwu had disappeared.

She was well aware of Xiwu's inner turmoil. However, it was a pity that their formidable enemy had a powerful background and was also stronger, Supreme Treasure superior to those of the three of them. Even if the three of them attacked together, they would have no chance of killing him.
