Mist Island

Following behind Hong, the man in black, and Lei Shen, the monk in white robes, Luo Feng walked calmly. These two were the strongest on Earth. Luo Feng watched their backs, setting them as his ultimate goal to surpass! To reach planetary level seven and planetary level six, with one even dubbed 'Invincible Planetary Level,' all within a few decades—their cultivation speed far outstripped anyone else on Earth. Whoosh! Following the passage, the metal door opened. The three entered, and the metal door closed behind them. They continued onward and soon arrived at an open-air rooftop. Hong and Lei Shen both sat down. Hong glanced at Luo Feng and said, 'Sit.' 'Yes, Dojo Master.' Luo Feng sat down to the side, his back ramrod straight. 'Kid Luo, how did you manage to kill Li Yao with just a Duntiansuo? Tell me the details.' Lei Shen's face was wreathed in a friendly smile. 'Back then, your Dojo Master and I discovered this Duntiansuo and pondered over it for a long time. Although we knew this 'mental-force weapon' was incredibly powerful, we never figured out how to use it.' Luo Feng's heart jolted. The bald crystal man had said that both Hong and Lei Shen had received inheritances from other ancient civilizations. Clearly, they knew the immense power of 'mental-force weapons'! However, the Duntiansuo was one of Yunmo Star's unique mental-force weapons, and its usage method was a top secret. Outsiders who obtained a Duntiansuo would have no way to use it. 'What should I do? The secret of the 'Duntian' technique must never be leaked. According to its instructions, even revealing it within Yunmo Star would incur sixty years of hard labor, and revealing it to outsiders meant death without mercy! That bald crystal man was monitoring the entire Earth; if I leaked it, it would definitely know. It might even unleash a laser beam and instantly kill me.' Luo Feng dared not take any risks. Hong and Lei Shen exchanged glances. 'Having trouble?' Hong looked at Luo Feng. 'I'm just thinking about how to explain it.' Luo Feng took a deep breath. 'I believe the Dojo Master has also guessed that Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 is controlled by an intelligent system behind the scenes!' Both Hong and Lei Shen nodded. With numerous Wargods on Earth entering it repeatedly, it was easy to discover that the ancient civilization ruin exhibited severe 'programmatic' phenomena. Naturally, they would guess that the ancient civilization ruin was controlled by an intelligent system. 'As I mentioned before, due to my high brain region breadth, I underwent special trials and faced death crises in Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9. During this process, I received some guidance from a 'Controller of Mental-Force Users'! From this, I learned two ways to use the Duntiansuo: one for offense and one for defense. Ultimately, after one year and three months inside, I successfully completed the mission! And I obtained a cultivation secret technique for a Controller of Mental-Force Users. However, I always felt that Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 was like a teacher, screening disciples, yet deliberately obscuring much of its knowledge.' Luo Feng shook his head with a sigh. Hong and Lei Shen nodded slightly. 'That's quite normal.' Hong smiled faintly. 'Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 is one of the few ancient ruins on Earth that is still fully operational. As far as we know, it's a place for screening disciples! However, it shows preferential treatment to mental-force users. You can tell by comparing the death rates of mental-force users and warriors.' Luo Feng was startled. Indeed, before entering, Hong had mentioned that while some 'high-level Wargod tier' mental-force users had failed in Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9, none had died! However, the death rate for Wargod warriors was very high. Clearly, Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 'favored' mental-force users, and its screening process was not entirely fair. 'So I speculate that the power behind Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 values mental-force users,' Hong said. Luo Feng secretly applauded. According to what he knew, Yunmo Star's master, Huyan Bo, had created numerous mental-force weapons, and anyone capable of creating such weapons was likely an incredible existence among mental-force users! One must know, to use the third form of this 'Duntiansuo,' one needed to be at least a cosmic-level mental-force user! To be able to craft weapons that even cosmic-level powerhouses struggled to master... this Huyan Bo's strength likely surpassed the cosmic level! Since Yunmo Star's master had achieved great things in the 'mental-force user' path, it was no surprise that he specifically screened for mental-force user disciples. 'This power values mental-force users, and Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 is merely an introductory screening test, so why would it teach much?' Hong shook his head, then looked at Luo Feng. 'Luo Feng, there's only one mental-force user on Earth who has reached the 'Councilor level,' and that's the Fourth Speaker, Easter. However, his talent isn't as high as yours. And that man is too ambitious; I don't like him.' 'You can now control 16 throwing knives; you should be able to break through, right?' Hong looked at Luo Feng. 'That Easter, he can only control 14 throwing knives at most.' 'I suppose so. I've also felt like I could break through at any moment recently,' Luo Feng replied. 'Mm.' Both Hong and Lei Shen nodded slightly. If anyone on Earth knew the most about the cosmos, it was Hong and Lei Shen! Most of the numerous ruins on Earth had been discovered by these two strongest individuals! Luo Feng's knowledge was far inferior to theirs. The more they learned about the vast cosmos, the less Hong and Lei Shen dared to relax. 'Keep up the good work,' Hong encouraged. 'Dojo Master, you mentioned 'Monster Emperors' before?' Luo Feng quickly pressed. 'What exactly are these Monster Emperors?' Hong and Lei Shen exchanged glances. Hong said solemnly: 'You've only been in the Councilor circle for a short time, so this isn't really a big secret! Whether human or monster, after breaking through the 'Wargod level' or 'Lord level,' it doesn't mean their strength stops growing! Among human Councilor powerhouses, there are also strong and weak ones, and then there are Lei Shen and I, who far surpass everyone else. It's the same for monsters. Among King-level monsters, there are also strong and weak ones, but generally, the difference isn't too astonishing, just a few times stronger. However, in the ocean, which is several times the size of the land, countless monsters reside, and there are so many King-level monsters! Naturally, extremely terrifying monsters will also emerge! These two monsters are what we call 'Monster Emperors'! Each of them possesses astonishing strength. Aside from Lei Shen and me, anyone else on Earth who encounters them is certain to die.' Hong spoke without hesitation. Luo Feng was greatly shocked. Such terrifying monsters existed? However, upon closer thought, he understood: the higher one's status, the more one knew. Things like 'Spirits of Flora and Fauna,' ordinary warriors had no knowledge of them. If the news of these 'Monster Emperors' spread, it would only cause more turmoil in human society. Only by letting Councilors know that there were monsters capable of instantly killing them would they strive desperately and dare not slack off. 'Remember, the Councilor level is just the beginning, not the end,' Hong said solemnly. 'You must not grow complacent.' 'Understood.' Luo Feng nodded. He, of course, understood... The so-called Councilor level, its true designation was 'planetary level.' He also knew that the planetary level was divided into nine tiers, and that the two Dojo Masters were planetary level six and planetary level seven, respectively. 'Mm.' Hong pondered slightly and said, 'My Extreme Martial Arts Dojo's appointment of the sixth Inspector needs to be publicly announced worldwide, and we need to choose an important date. I think... January 1st, 5th, and 18th are all good days. You pick one.' 'Assuming the role of Inspector?' Luo Feng thought for a moment, then smiled. 'January 1st is New Year's Day, which doesn't feel quite right. Let's go with January 5th.' 'Mm.' Hong nodded. 'Alright, go attend the banquet.' 'Yes.' Luo Feng acknowledged the order and immediately withdrew. Only Hong and Lei Shen remained on the open-air rooftop. 'Brother Hong, I have a feeling this young fellow is hiding something,' Lei Shen said, smiling at Hong. 'Everyone has secrets. Some secrets aren't even told to family. Is there a need to force it?' Hong said solemnly. 'What I've always worried about is that one day, Earth will be discovered by some nations or powers in the cosmos! At that time, whether humanity on Earth will be annihilated, enslaved, sold as slaves, or manage to survive by chance... it's hard to say. Therefore, we must enter the 'stellar level' as soon as possible. Only then will we have the ability to protect Earth.' 'Mm.' Lei Shen also nodded slightly. The two peak existences on Earth... were concerned about the fate of humanity on Earth. They knew very well how insignificant Earth was in the vast cosmos! And humanity on Earth was merely indigenous to this planet... Bang! Bang! Bang! A knock sounded. 'Come in,' Hong spoke, and the door opened automatically. The personal guard Yaorao walked onto the open-air rooftop and respectfully said, 'Dojo Master, we just received news that some special changes have occurred on Mist Island. You'll understand once you watch the video.' 'Mist Island?' Lei Shen exclaimed in surprise. 'Brother Hong, isn't that where you obtained the Moyun Teng?' 'Play it,' Hong instructed. ...Mingyue Residential District. That evening, Luo Feng's family was having dinner. 'Dad, Mom, I need to go out on business tonight. It'll probably take five or six days,' Luo Feng said, holding his rice bowl and picking up a piece of scrambled egg. 'Five or six days?' At the dinner table, his father Luo Hongguo, who was in a wheelchair, his mother Gong Xinlan, and his younger brother Luo Hua, were all startled. 'You've only been back for two days, and you're leaving again?' Gong Xinlan couldn't help but ask. 'It's not dangerous, is it?' 'Our son is going out for something important; don't interrupt him,' Luo Hongguo said in a low voice. 'I'm just worried about Xiao Feng, why are you yelling?' Gong Xinlan immediately retorted. 'Alright, Mom and Dad,' Luo Feng quickly interjected. 'This time, there's no danger at all. I just have an urgent matter to attend to, and I'll be back in five or six days.' Only then did the family feel slightly relieved. After all, Luo Feng had indeed just been missing for one year and three months. In the dead of night, Luo Feng quietly left home, stepping on his Duntiansuo. Then, silently, under the cover of darkness, he entered his 'King-level intelligent fighter jet.' ...Inside the intelligent fighter jet. The seat was reclined flat, as smooth as the floor. Luo Feng sat cross-legged within it. 'Don't worry, darling, I'll call you then.' Luo Feng ended his call with Xu Xin. 'Number One, for the next period, do not allow anyone to disturb me until I emerge,' Luo Feng instructed. Everything was ready! He had spoken to his family and Xu Xin. His appointment as Inspector was also on January 5th. He still had eight or nine days, enough time to break through to the 'planetary level.' 'Nine-Nine Soul Forging.' Luo Feng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and quickly reviewed the eighty-one steps of the Nine-Nine Soul Forging technique in his mind. 'No problem.' 'Then... let's begin!' Luo Feng's breathing gradually became steady, and his heartbeat slowed. Within his boundless sea of consciousness, the mental force, which had been calm and formed like a galaxy, suddenly surged and roared. Rumble~~ The surging mental force abruptly began to spin, accelerating continuously, accelerating...
