Treasure Space

Within the East Emperor Universe, a complex of palaces stood atop a mountain peak. The entire complex was divided into nine sections, and from a high-altitude view, it resembled a colossal monstrous beast, exuding an endless aura of malevolence. This was the abode of Bei Zhen Star Master, home to numerous Immortal servants and disciples seeking guidance. The Main Hall. The avatar of Bei Zhen Star Master sat high above in the main hall, eyelids drooping, continuously expounding on the Dao of Laws. The hundreds of Universe Venerables seated in the hall dared not show the slightest distraction, listening with utmost care… “Hmm?” The Universe Venerables seated below were astonished to find that Bei Zhen Star Master had suddenly ceased his discourse. They couldn't help but look up at him in confusion. “That concludes today’s lesson. You may all withdraw,” Bei Zhen Star Master suddenly commanded. Though somewhat bewildered, they respectfully called out, “Yes, Teacher,” and then departed the hall together, leaving only Bei Zhen Star Master seated high above. “Original Ancestor,” Bei Zhen Star Master respectfully called out. “I commanded you to take ten Universe Masters and guard the Flame Ice Region. Have you found that Galaxy Lord Luo Feng?” A figure with a faint blue glow appeared, none other than the East Emperor Original Ancestor. The very space where the main hall stood shifted, making it impossible for anyone outside to perceive anything within. The East Emperor Original Ancestor’s voice boomed, echoing through the hall. Bei Zhen Star Master bowed, respectfully reporting, “Reporting to Original Ancestor, ever since the inheritance concluded and our clan’s Azure Blood Venerable and others failed one after another, I have, by your command, been continuously monitoring the Flame Ice Region without the slightest slack. Every route leading away from the Tomb Mausoleum Boat is constantly monitored by Universe Masters. No matter how powerful Galaxy Lord Luo Feng may be, it would be impossible for him to leave unnoticed. Yet, for so long, we truly haven’t found Galaxy Lord Luo Feng! It seems he has not yet emerged from the Tomb Mausoleum Boat.” “Do not be careless,” the East Emperor Original Ancestor said indifferently. “Perhaps another Universe Master brought him out with them.” “I have thoroughly considered all possibilities,” Bei Zhen Star Master quickly replied. “Hiding within another powerful being’s spatial ring and then escaping unnoticed is indeed a possibility. However, since our investigation began, we have blocked anyone attempting to enter the vicinity of the Tomb Mausoleum Boat from other areas. So far, we have intercepted 39 Universe Masters and 2 Universe Overlords! Faced with our clan’s might, no one has dared to force their way through.” “No one can enter! Naturally, no one could have taken Luo Feng away,” Bei Zhen Star Master respectfully stated. “Mm,” the East Emperor Original Ancestor nodded in satisfaction. “Luo Feng must be captured! The Duan Dong River lineage inheritance he obtained is extremely important! Capture him… at all costs!” “Yes,” Bei Zhen Star Master respectfully responded. The East Emperor Original Ancestor nodded faintly. For the East Emperor Holy Land, even the deaths of a hundred Universe Masters were insignificant. This was because the ‘East Emperor Holy Land Universe’ had a limited capacity for Universe Masters, and having existed for so long, it had accumulated a large number of ‘quasi-Universe Masters.’ Azure Blood Venerable, for instance, was a quasi-Universe Master. Should any other Universe Masters fall, a new batch of quasi-Universe Masters would quickly break through! To the lofty East Emperor Original Ancestor, he clearly understood the significance of the ‘Duan Dong River lineage inheritance.’ Even obtaining a small portion of it would bring endless benefits. …Deep within the inner region of the Universe Boat, in the vast Flame Ice Region, there were no powerful beings around the Tomb Mausoleum Boat. Bei Zhen Star Master and the ten Universe Masters were hidden and dispersed, each monitoring their respective areas. “The Original Ancestor just contacted me,” Bei Zhen Star Master communicated through his transmission token. “Again?” “During our watch here, the Original Ancestor has contacted you, Bei Zhen, three times now, hasn’t he? It seems the Original Ancestor… truly places immense importance on this. In all my years, I’ve never seen him prioritize anything so much.” “How could he not? Look, the ten of us are definitely among the top 20 Universe Masters in our East Emperor Holy Land. Originally, only three of us possessed Supreme True Treasures. And now? The Original Ancestor even specially brought out seven Supreme True Treasures from the clan’s long accumulation of resources for us. Bei Zhen Star Master… and the ten of us, each now possesses a Supreme True Treasure! In the entire Universe Ocean, perhaps only the Purple Moon Holy Land and us could achieve this. For the Purple Moon Holy Land to produce so many Supreme True Treasures, they would likely have to exhaust all their resources. Even for our clan… it’s a tremendous burden.” “Indeed.” “With Supreme True Treasures in hand, we fear no Universe Overlord. Against a mere Luo Feng? Moreover, in just a moment, Bei Zhen Star Master can break through the constraints of the operating laws and swiftly catch up to him. Bei Zhen is the main force in this operation.” …These Universe Masters held very high statuses. Even when conversing with Bei Zhen Star Master and other Universe Overlords, they generally did so on nearly equal terms. They were the true elite of the East Emperor Holy Land, yet they were stationed here, guarding and waiting to capture Luo Feng. This clearly showed the immense determination of the East Emperor Original Ancestor! …Inside the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, within the cultivation space of the Inheritance Space. “The long journey of cultivation, how vast it is!” “The ultimate techniques created by the Third Ancestor Master are incredibly profound, and I can’t stay here forever,” Luo Feng, sitting cross-legged on the grass, opened his eyes and frowned slightly. “Moreover, I still need to create blade techniques and so on… I clearly feel that my understanding of laws is too weak right now.” Laws were his shortcoming. Because he had to bind the White Wings, the ‘Golden-Space Beast God Path’ had been stuck just before reaching the seventh stage of perfection, stagnating there, and he dared not cultivate it. And because he hadn’t truly perfected his comprehension of the Golden-Space Laws, there was always a hitch when researching secret techniques, always a significant impact, and as his research became more profound, this impact grew more apparent. “I need to get out as soon as possible,” Luo Feng thought to himself. “Acquire the White Wings as soon as possible, and then immediately cultivate the Golden-Space Path… first, break through to Universe Master in one go.” Upon breaking through to Universe Master, his Divine Power would undergo a transformation. Divine Power represented the body! And also the soul! A stronger soul and stronger consciousness… would aid in cultivation. Moreover, once the laws were perfected, researching secret techniques would be easier. He also planned to… fully comprehend all ten fundamental laws: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Light, Time, and Space! His goal was distant, his plan vast; his progress needed to be fast enough. It was better to acquire the White Wings and break through to Universe Master as soon as possible. “As for the Tomb Mausoleum Boat and the Inheritance Space? I’ll take everything with me.” “Once I return to the Original Universe, I’ll place the Tomb Mausoleum Boat and the Inheritance Space in my God Kingdom. That’s the safest place. With my current combat power, my Earthling Original Body alone can unleash top-tier Fifth Tier strength. If it’s the Endless Abyssal Sea… even relying on ‘Annihilation’ to furiously burn Divine Power, with the Endless Abyssal Sea’s boundless nature, this burning would be nothing. Even a Universe Overlord… could be fought off.” Luo Feng was very confident. Nine Abysses Master, a Universe Master, feared no Universe Overlord thanks to his Nine Abysses Sea. Luo Feng, though slightly weaker in Divine Power, had blade techniques that had just entered the Universe Overlord level! This could completely compensate for the gap in Divine Power… and with ‘Annihilation,’ he could unleash extraordinary bursts of power! He would be even more formidable. Of course, this formidable power was largely due to the Endless Abyssal Sea… After all, if Luo Feng’s Earthling Original Body or Golden Horn Behemoth Clone used ‘Annihilation,’ their divine bodies would be consumed too quickly, so he wouldn’t easily resort to it. …Inheritance Space. Luo Feng took a step, passed through a spatial gate, and arrived at the ‘Treasure Space,’ one of the many planes within the Inheritance Space. “Treasures!” Luo Feng looked up. Void surrounded him, and before his eyes stood a majestic treasure mountain. Dazzling rays of light shot skyward from the entire peak, each radiating boundless power, so strong that Luo Feng’s heart trembled. It was as if—hundreds of Universe Overlords were self-destructing, an overwhelming might. “A total of 322 treasures,” Luo Feng gasped. “Through countless ages, successive Duan Dong Rivers accumulated these 322 treasures. Unfortunately, I can only take one, and while I am alive, I must return one.” This was the rule. All previous Duan Dong Rivers had done the same; typically, one would take one item. If one’s strength was great and achievements high, they might even return two or three, which would be considered a contribution to the Duan Dong River lineage. All of this was automatically recorded on the stone tablet of the treasure mountain. These treasures… had a special name in ancient civilization—Primordial Embryos! ‘Primordial’ (元), in ancient civilization, carried an extremely revered meaning; any treasure bearing this character was considered top-tier. ‘Embryo’ (胚), on the other hand, meant embryo. For a powerful being, different treasures were needed at different stages. For example, giving an Immortal a Supreme True Treasure would be useless to them. Thus, no fully formed true treasure could be used by a powerful being indefinitely. Hence the concept of ‘Primordial Embryos.’ A Primordial Embryo was a special, unformed treasure… even an Immortal could begin to use it! One could integrate their comprehended secret techniques into it, adding secret patterns to the treasure… For instance, the Star Tower possessed layers upon layers of secret patterns, while a Primordial Embryo had none, being completely empty. Yet, solely relying on its inherent basic power, it was already extremely potent. The user, however, could continuously infuse secret patterns into it, just like refining a true treasure, easily imbuing the Primordial Embryo with secret patterns! For example, Luo Feng had previously created three blade techniques: “Mist Light Void,” “Golden Universe,” and “Nirvana Rebirth.” Among them, the “Nirvana Rebirth” move had already reached the Universe Overlord level. Even Luo Feng had to concentrate all his mental energy to instantly outline the immensely complex secret patterns and unleash this move. But once these secret patterns were integrated into a Primordial Embryo, then it would only require activation! One could completely multitask, controlling other true treasures in combat, and “Nirvana Rebirth,” utilizing the Primordial Embryo’s inherent power, could unleash even greater strength. This was the essence of a Primordial Embryo… It could continuously grow! As one’s strength increased, more crucial secret techniques could be integrated into it! A Primordial Embryo could even accompany a powerful being all the way to the pinnacle of ancient civilization, at which point, a single Primordial Embryo would have evolved into the most terrifying top-tier treasure of that entire ancient civilization. “I can only choose one!” “What should I choose?” “A blade embryo?” Luo Feng gazed at the treasure mountain, truly wishing he could take several.
