The Eastern Emperor Ancestor's Proposal

Regardless of the methods employed by the Universe Overlords in the Universe Ocean, inside the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, Luo Feng was absolutely safe. After all, once he became its master, Luo Feng was well aware of the boat's numerous powers. Moreover, at this moment, most of his attention was focused on the trade proposed by Bei Zhen Star Master.

“A trade representing the Eastern Emperor Ancestor and me?” Luo Feng was secretly startled, a flurry of thoughts immediately flashing through his mind.

Who was the Eastern Emperor Ancestor?

That was the Ancestor of the most ancient Holy Land in the entire Universe Ocean! And, without a doubt, the wealthiest individual in the entire Universe Ocean.

“What kind of trade?” Luo Feng transmitted.

Outside, Bei Zhen Star Master secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Feng had responded; a response was good, for he feared being ignored entirely. Immediately, Bei Zhen Star Master transmitted to the surface of the Tomb Mausoleum Boat: “First, congratulations, Silver River Lord, on obtaining the Duan Dong River lineage inheritance. Second, regarding this trade, our Eastern Emperor Ancestor said… he needs your inheritance. The inheritance you obtained… of course, no treasures are needed, only the memory inheritance.”

“Memory inheritance?” Luo Feng scoffed. “Bei Zhen Star Master, don’t you think the Eastern Emperor Ancestor is being overly wishful? All the races fought so desperately, and I, by sheer luck, obtained the Duan Dong River lineage inheritance. By what right does your Eastern Emperor Ancestor think he can take my inheritance? Don’t even dream of it.”

“Everything is negotiable,” Bei Zhen Star Master said, not at all annoyed. He continued, “Our race is the most ancient Holy Land Universe in the entire Universe Ocean, far older than even the Purple Moon Holy Land. We have also obtained many inheritances and even know some secrets of the Universe Ocean. We possess the most ultimate supreme treasures. As long as you agree—then some of our hidden inheritances, some secrets, and even ultimate supreme treasures, everything can be discussed.”

“Nothing to discuss!” Luo Feng replied directly.

He was indeed tempted.

After all, the Universe Ocean was so mysterious, and there were indeed many unknowns. The Eastern Emperor Ancestor was probably the one who knew the most. Hidden inheritances, ultimate supreme treasures… these were all temptations. But this memory inheritance was the absolute core of the entire Duan Dong River lineage inheritance, and he had sworn an oath with the inheritance mark, making it impossible to violate.

Bei Zhen Star Master quickly said, “It’s merely memory inheritance, and—”

“No need to say more. If it’s just this trade, then let’s drop it,” Luo Feng rejected.

Bei Zhen Star Master muttered to himself… it was just as expected. When the Eastern Emperor Ancestor had given instructions earlier, he hadn’t held much hope for this, and the Eastern Emperor Ancestor had even said that such an ancient inheritance, with only one successor per endless epoch, would certainly have methods to prevent its leakage.

“What about a portion of the memory inheritance?” Bei Zhen Star Master pressed.

“A portion?” Luo Feng’s heart stirred, and he didn’t rush to refuse. “Which portion does the Eastern Emperor Ancestor want?”

Bei Zhen Star Master was secretly delighted.

As long as there was room for negotiation, there was hope.

“Of course, it’s cultivation experience,” Bei Zhen Star Master said. “Our Ancestor wants to obtain… memory inheritance concerning more advanced levels of cultivation experience, those that describe experience.”

“Your Ancestor truly knows what’s most valuable,” Luo Feng scoffed.

Within the memory inheritance, it was divided into—

The core of the core—the ‘Three Ultimate Techniques’ left by the third Ancestor.

Normal core memory inheritance—records of past Duan Dong River successors’ cultivation experiences and collected cultivation experiences of other super-strong individuals.

Ordinary inheritance that could be leaked—over a hundred million memory stones, all shallow basic inheritances, with very few even surpassing the ‘True God’ level, truly the basics of basics.

Undoubtedly.

Cultivation experiences reaching extremely profound realms were extremely precious. Even cultivation experiences of non-Duan Dong River lineage powerhouses… once collected by past Duan Dong River successors, they were categorized as core inheritance. The Eastern Emperor Ancestor’s request for such cultivation experience memory inheritance clearly showed he understood its importance.

Unfortunately—

Extremely profound cultivation memory inheritances were all within the core scope, and Luo Feng simply could not leak them.

“Perhaps I can trick him,” Luo Feng thought to himself. “Our race is weak, with very few treasures. Perhaps I can trick a few ultimate supreme treasures from the Eastern Emperor Ancestor, and then our human race will become much stronger.” Anyway, besides himself, no one else knew the true nature of the Duan Dong River lineage inheritance.

So, there was a real possibility of success in tricking him.

Even if he failed, what then?

Could the ‘Eastern Emperor Ancestor,’ who had always remained in his Holy Land Universe, rush out? Whether it was during the Tomb Mausoleum Boat inheritance or during the current pursuit… neither of the two Ancestors had emerged from their Holy Land Universes. Clearly, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to come out, but that some reason prevented them or made them unwilling to. Even the Duan Dong River lineage inheritance couldn’t make them emerge. So, even if he tricked a few ultimate supreme treasures, why would the Eastern Emperor Ancestor come out?

“Hmph, a portion of the inheritance?” After numerous thoughts, Luo Feng quickly organized his ideas and said coldly, “Even I am not qualified to leak the inheritance of my Duan Dong River lineage.”

“There’s hope!” Bei Zhen Star Master was secretly delighted; he had been entrusted by the Eastern Emperor Ancestor and knew quite a bit.

He immediately said, “What you cannot leak, we naturally won’t force you, Silver River Lord, to leak… Our Ancestor only needs cultivation experience memory inheritance. Your Duan Dong River lineage is so ancient, you must have collected cultivation experiences from other super-existences, right? Just trade the experiences of non-Duan Dong River successors with our race.”

“You know a lot,” Luo Feng was secretly surprised. What a pity, this Eastern Emperor Ancestor didn’t know that even non-Duan Dong River lineage cultivation experiences were categorized within the core inheritance.

“The Eastern Emperor Ancestor truly lives up to his name, knowing so much,” Luo Feng said. “If it’s non-Duan Dong River lineage, then yes, there are some.”

Bei Zhen Star Master grew even more excited and expectant.

“However, not many, only the cultivation inheritances of three super-existences in total,” Luo Feng said.

“Probably more than three,” Bei Zhen Star Master secretly guessed, but he didn’t pursue it further.

“Silver River Lord! Name your conditions, and our Ancestor wants the inheritances of these three,” Bei Zhen Star Master said.

“We’ll discuss the conditions later,” Luo Feng retorted. “Doesn’t your Eastern Emperor Ancestor know… that memory inheritances beyond the Universe Overlord level are affected by the Original Universe’s will?”

“Haha, we know, of course we know,” Bei Zhen Star Master said directly. “However, your Duan Dong River lineage likely uses memory stones, or similar memory storage methods. Your current strength is indeed insufficient to perceive the later information. But our Ancestor has long transcended reincarnation… If you give our Ancestor the memory stones or similar storage items, our Ancestor can naturally view them.”

Luo Feng was stunned.

Right.

He couldn’t see them… but a powerhouse who had transcended reincarnation could.

“Can we discuss the detailed terms of the trade now?” Bei Zhen Star Master pressed.

“Ten ultimate supreme treasures! Your race’s secret inheritances! Universe Ocean secrets!” Luo Feng stated directly.

Bei Zhen Star Master was startled.

Ruthless.

He really dared to ask.

Ten ultimate supreme treasures? Even for the Eastern Emperor Holy Land, because the Ancestor didn’t leave the Holy Land Universe, and those adventuring in the Universe Ocean were all Universe Masters… so even after accumulating for a long time, they had very few ultimate supreme treasures. And they were usually owned by individual Universe Masters; the accumulated inventory within the race was pitifully small. If it were like the Purple Moon Holy Land, they would probably have to strip ultimate supreme treasures from other Universe Masters and Universe Overlords to gather enough.

The Eastern Emperor Holy Land? Their inventory would almost be depleted!

“This, this is too…” Bei Zhen Star Master wanted Luo Feng to reduce his demands. “Our race knows quite a few secret inheritances and Universe Ocean secrets.”

“What inheritances, what secrets… those are just extras,” Luo Feng scoffed. “Can your race’s secret inheritances compare to what I’m offering? Can they compare to the inheritance I obtained? As for secrets… those are secrets from endless epochs ago, merely satisfying my curiosity. Knowing them or not is a minor issue.”

Bei Zhen Star Master was helpless.

“Ten ultimate supreme treasures, not one less, and they must include one palace-type, one psychic weapon-type, one domain-type, and one soul-type,” Luo Feng said directly. “One less, and there’s nothing to discuss.”

Bei Zhen Star Master was so angry he wanted to roar.

Was it easy?

Even Universe Overlords had to fight desperately to obtain ultimate supreme treasures; were ultimate supreme treasures that easy to get? The few Universe Overlords of their Eastern Emperor Holy Land were weaker without their ‘miniature universes,’ so they rarely went out. As for a group of Universe Masters adventuring and seizing treasures, they generally couldn’t compete with those Universe Overlords. They purely relied on accumulated time to gather these ultimate supreme treasures.

Was it easy?

Luo Feng was making such an exorbitant demand, wanting ten? Did he not understand that even the God-Eye Clan’s seven True Masters and numerous Universe Masters, after fighting for three reincarnation eras, only had an estimated ten ultimate supreme treasures? Especially after the Tomb Mausoleum Boat battle… with the two True Masters falling, they probably couldn’t even gather ten.

“Make a decision quickly, I don’t have time to linger,” Luo Feng said.

“I, I… your demands are too high, I’ll ask the Ancestor,” Bei Zhen Star Master said.

“Go quickly, go quickly.”

Luo Feng was confident. If the God-Eye Clan could gather nearly ten ultimate supreme treasures, how could the Eastern Emperor Holy Land not? And in this operation, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land had revealed quite a few ultimate supreme treasures. Taking out ten… although it would cause immense pain to the Eastern Emperor Holy Land, it wouldn’t force them to the point where all their Universe Masters had to chip in.

...

Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe.

In the main hall of Bei Zhen Star Master’s palace complex.

“Ancestor,” Bei Zhen Star Master said, looking at the Eastern Emperor Ancestor before him.

“Three?” The Eastern Emperor Ancestor showed no anger, but rather a hint of joy, nodding slightly. “If this Luo Feng truly possesses the cultivation experiences of three ancient existences, then ten ultimate supreme treasures can be given to him! Of course, we cannot agree to him easily; negotiate with him, and it would be good if we can lower the price.”

Ultimate supreme treasures?

What did they have to do with his Eastern Emperor Ancestor? The ultimate supreme treasure inventory within the Holy Land, or even the loss of a few Universe Masters and a few ultimate supreme treasures, had no impact on the Eastern Emperor Ancestor himself.

To him, the cultivation experiences of those ancient and powerful existences were truly valuable.

“However, I must verify the authenticity of his so-called memory inheritance,” the Eastern Emperor Ancestor said. “We can’t let him trick us out of ten ultimate supreme treasures with a fake memory inheritance; that would be a huge joke.”

Bei Zhen Star Master felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this.

Ten ultimate supreme treasures! Just thinking about it made his heart ache! How many ultimate supreme treasures were there in the entire Universe Ocean? Were there even a hundred? Only the Ancestors of the two great Holy Lands would dare to trade with ten ultimate supreme treasures.
