Stumbling Upon a Treasure

The warring powerhouses of the Demon Race and the Nine Domains Alliance departed, and the seven waves of powerhouses from various races, drawn by the commotion, naturally glanced at each other from afar before quietly dispersing. “Just as described in the records of Niuzhou Venerable,” Luo Feng flew slowly above the wasteland, the Golden Horned Beast obediently perched on his shoulder. “The powerhouses on the Original Star are extremely cautious. Without sufficient treasures to entice them, or absolute certainty, they won't easily make a move. The Demon Race and the Nine Domains Alliance were just fighting, but there was no aura of a supreme treasure, so it was likely just a few heavy treasures.” If a supreme treasure concealed its aura, it would be difficult to distinguish it from a heavy treasure based solely on appearance. But it was different on the Original Star. The Original Star was a treasure planet, abundant with treasures. The emergence of heavy treasures usually caused little commotion; some top-tier set heavy treasures might create a small stir. However, the ‘emergence of a supreme treasure’ absolutely caused a stir! The greater the commotion, the higher the tier of the supreme treasure! Sometimes, an entire palace would even emerge from the ground, concealing a supreme treasure within, and so on… In short, the greater the commotion, the higher the tier of the treasure. “Hmm?” Luo Feng spotted a spatial vortex in the distant sky. “Another vortex passage. I wonder which Original Star this one leads to.” According to the records, there were 10,081 Original Stars, and each one had 10,081 randomly distributed vortex passages in its sky. One of them was an exit (the same vortex passage Luo Feng used to arrive)! The other 10,080 passages led to the other 10,080 Original Stars. “All powerhouses searching for treasures on the Original Star wouldn't foolishly run around. They almost always guarded a single spot, silently waiting and sensing auras. Once they detected any unusual commotion, they would immediately rush towards it.” Luo Feng decided to follow the ancient wisdom passed down through generations of Original Star openings. Swoosh! He immediately dove down, Luo Feng flying into a low, ancient mountain forest. This mountain was about a thousand kilometers high… far taller than any mountain on Earth, yet it was considered a low mountain on the Original Star. Many ancient trees and plants grew beautifully upon it. Stepping on fallen leaves, Luo Feng strolled along. “The Original Star's pressure is immense! Even weaker Immortal Gods would be annihilated, yet these trees, plants, and rocks survive perfectly.” Luo Feng looked at a short, stout tree nearby, easily thirty meters thick. “Undoubtedly, these branches, plants, and so on, could all be used to forge weapons for ordinary Immortals. They are definitely valuable and rare materials.” Luo Feng understood this, but he wouldn't take any. Because pioneers had already done so in the past! Bang! Luo Feng kicked the tree trunk. Under the impact of his powerful divine power, Luo Feng felt as if the entire tree was one with the boundless earth. With that kick… he was sent flying backward, crashing into a patch of plants some distance away, flattening many before finally standing up. “Indeed… the plants and trees here are one with the Original Star.” “And the records state… that plants and trees are difficult to damage. Even if a super powerhouse destroys them, they will re-condense and grow back to their original state.” Luo Feng first used his divine power to isolate the surroundings, then his right foot blazed with divine power, its might surging. With a boom, he fiercely kicked the soil, sending a large amount of dirt flying and directly creating a pit. Luo Feng stood by, silently observing. A moment later, the scattered soil around them vanished into thin air, and the previous pit was filled, returning to its original state. “It truly is so,” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. “What a wondrous Original Star.” On the Original Star, any item that felt ‘one with’ the planet, such as soil, plants, or trees, could be temporarily removed by force. However, these would quickly return to their original spots on the Original Star. It was destined to be a futile effort. Only items not ‘one with’ the Original Star, such as newly emerged treasures, could be taken away. Feeling the wonder of the Original Star, Luo Feng also strolled through the mountain forest, observing everything within. Thud! Luo Feng's foot struck a hard object. With his divine power, ordinary stones would be sent flying, and soil would be flattened. “Hmm?” Luo Feng looked down. A silver-white horn protruded from the ground, covered in a lot of dirt. Luo Feng carefully sensed it, and the silver-white horn subtly felt extraordinary. Luo Feng blinked. “My luck can't be this good, can it?” Luo Feng muttered to himself. The Original Star had an abundance of treasures, and some heavy treasures emerged without any commotion, so they could appear in rivers, in the soil, and so on. Stumbling upon a heavy treasure just by walking… this had happened many times in history. “Stumbling upon a heavy treasure while walking?” Luo Feng squatted down, his right hand resting on the horn. His sharp nails gripped it firmly, and his divine power coiled around the silver horn like threads. Whoosh! With a pull, like pulling a radish, the dirt fell away. A half-meter tall, entirely silver ‘cube’ was pulled out by Luo Feng. Under the sweep of Luo Feng's divine power, all the dirt fell off, revealing a delicate silver cube adorned with ancient law secret patterns. Its aura was subtle, clearly indicating it was a heavy treasure. “Hahahaha, no wonder Jiujian Venerable was willing to offer ten heavy treasures as compensation when he borrowed a supreme treasure from me back then.” Luo Feng smiled broadly. “There are truly many heavy treasures on the Original Star, enough for me to stumble upon one just by walking.” Stumbling upon a heavy treasure while walking was indeed lucky. However, the Original Star indeed had many heavy treasures… As long as one spent enough time on the Original Star, acquiring dozens or even hundreds of heavy treasures was not difficult. They could be handed over to one's race in exchange for a set heavy treasure! Furthermore, these heavy treasures could also be dismantled, yielding precious materials that were usually hard to collect. After dismantling a large number of heavy treasures and combining countless precious materials, there was a complete hope of forging an ordinary supreme treasure! Being able to refine an ordinary supreme treasure… was considered very difficult. After all, to create super supreme treasures like ‘Jie Jia,’ ‘Yuan Hun,’ or ‘Yan Shen Halberd,’ perhaps only ‘Zuo Shan Ke,’ the lone cosmic refiner of treasures, could achieve it. Luo Feng's life imprint was branded onto the cube, and instantly, this heavy treasure became his. Streams of information flowed into him, and the silver cube rapidly shrank to the size of a peach, resembling a Rubik's Cube. “Ha, it's actually a sealing-type heavy treasure, containing a sealing space within. It's not inferior to the Sealing Star,” Luo Feng nodded in satisfaction. “To get a heavy treasure on my first day on the Original Star, if I could get one every day, how many heavy treasures would I have after a hundred or a thousand years? Haha…” Luo Feng knew it was impossible, but the feeling of stumbling upon a heavy treasure was exhilarating. Luo Feng wandered through the mountain forest for most of the day, but unfortunately, he didn't stumble upon another heavy treasure. Immediately after, Luo Feng found a random spot, sat cross-legged on the fallen leaves, and began to wait silently. Time flowed by. The Original Star's opening would last for a full 1,000 epochs, meaning the probability of precious supreme treasures emerging was extremely small, occurring only once in a very long while. Instead, set heavy treasures and ordinary supreme treasures became common targets of contention. ‘Common’ here also required a bit of luck. For instance, Luo Feng had already been on the Original Star for two years, yet he hadn't even seen a single set heavy treasure! Although he had sensed the aura of set heavy treasures emerging three times, even if the aura was weak, how keen were the senses of powerhouses? “The pavilion nearest the water enjoys the moonlight first.” Luo Feng was too far away. By the time he rushed to the three instances of set heavy treasure emergence, the contention for them had long since concluded. “Luck, huh?” “Not a single set heavy treasure in hand. It's been two years… and I've only acquired two heavy treasures. How pathetic!” Luo Feng stood atop the ancient mountain forest, gazing into the distance. Acquiring two heavy treasures in two years was actually considered average efficiency. After all, on the Original Star, one risked their life! For example, Luo Feng was currently disguised as a powerhouse from the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance. Because the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance was quite transcendent and mysterious, those foreign powerhouses generally wouldn't provoke its members! In two years, Luo Feng and the Golden Horned Beast on his shoulder had already gained a considerable reputation. At least many powerhouses recognized and remembered them. “The Human Race Alliance, Demon Race Alliance, Machine Race Alliance, and Insect Race Alliance are truly fighting fiercely,” Luo Feng muttered to himself. “Even the slightest pretext can trigger a battle!” These four peak races were adjacent to each other. Hatred accumulated, and they fought fiercely against each other on the Original Star. Luo Feng had lived too short a life. Although he had experienced ‘Insect Race sleeper agents directly detonating a planet’ and ‘foreign races sending Marsh Corrosion Venerable to assassinate,’ emotionally, while he disliked and detested them, his hatred for the Insect Race, Demon Race, and Machine Race hadn't reached its peak, hadn't reached a frenzied degree. True human powerhouses who had lived longer were different. They had lived for too long and had accumulated far too many entanglements and hatreds with these three peak races… countless clashes, countless accumulations of animosity, that hatred was immense. “I've been here for two years, and I haven't had a single battle,” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. Just as Luo Feng was sighing to himself—a peculiar aura spread out. Luo Feng, already experienced, paused, then immediately reacted: “It's a set heavy treasure, or perhaps an ordinary supreme treasure!” “And this aura seems very close!” Luo Feng grew excited. He hadn't even touched the fringe of a set heavy treasure the previous three times, but this time, it was finally extremely close. Swoosh! Luo Feng's Demon Killer Clan clone instantly burned divine power, its speed erupting! Boom! It flew directly towards the source of the aura. “The aura is quite strong! It's a set heavy treasure, or perhaps even a supreme treasure!” A giant from the Prison Race, about ten kilometers tall and wreathed in golden flames, along with two Universe Venerables, each a hundred meters tall with twelve pairs of black wings and covered in black scales, hunched over, flew directly towards it. “The aura of a treasure emerging!” “It's a treasure!” The six teams in the surrounding area quickly rushed over, and as the aura spread further, some distant teams of foreign Universe Venerables also flew in twos and threes towards the source of the aura.
