The Teacher's Legacy

Inside the octagonal hall.

Luo Feng gazed at the handsome, pale, god-like man in black robes lying peacefully inside the massive crystal coffin before him. This was the mighty figure who had traversed the cosmos, commanding nine Immortal servants—the Yunmo Star Master! In his heart, Luo Feng already revered such a supreme expert, and he knew very well that having a teacher and not having one were two completely different paths. What's more... with that black-robed child, Babata, staring at him, did he even have a choice?

"How do I become your disciple?" Luo Feng asked, looking at Babata.

"Excellent, your choice is absolutely correct!" Babata lifted his head. "Because of your choice, the entire Earth will benefit. With the assistance of me, the demonic Babata, Luo Feng, your great name will spread throughout the Milky Way Galaxy, and even across countless planets in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield. Countless humans will worship you, look up to you. A single word from you could decide the rise or fall of a planetary race, you..."

Luo Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, interrupting the excited Babata, "How do I become your disciple?"

"Uh... normally, when a master takes a personal disciple, they would invite many friends and make a grand occasion of it. However, the Master is dead, and Yunmo Star has been destroyed, so we'll keep things simple." Babata looked at the crystal coffin, his voice suddenly becoming a little low, "You only need to kowtow eight times before the Master's remains, and that will be sufficient."

Luo Feng nodded. He looked at the Yunmo Star Master in the crystal coffin, who had lived for over sixty million years and had been dead for fifty thousand. And now, he was about to become his disciple!

"Thud." Luo Feng knelt down, then solemnly kowtowed eight times with resounding thumps.

"From today onwards, you are the Master's fifth personal disciple, and also his last personal disciple, the only personal disciple still alive!" Babata said, looking at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng immediately understood... his teacher, the 'Yunmo Star Master,' had all his other personal disciples dead. What kind of enemy had his teacher provoked? Even the entire Yunmo Star had been destroyed.

"Luo Feng, the Master is dead and cannot personally teach you. Therefore... I will teach you on his behalf." Babata looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng nodded.

"Rest assured, the Master entrusted everything to me before his death. Moreover, I am an intelligent lifeform and have always followed the Master. I can project all the situations where the Master taught his personal disciples to you via video. So, you don't need to worry." Babata was very confident.

Hearing this, Luo Feng was completely relieved.

"First, I'll give you a spatial storage item." The black-robed 'Babata' casually tossed something, and a silver light flew over.

Luo Feng reached out and caught it, opening his palm... It was a seemingly ordinary silver ring.

"Spatial storage items can take many forms: rings, bracers, and many others," Babata said with a slight smile. "However, creating a 'spatial ring' is very difficult. It's considered a luxury item in the cosmos. This spatial ring is made of a unique material and can merge into your skin."

Luo Feng put the ring on his left middle finger. It flowed silently like mercury, merging into his skin. Luo Feng felt a chill, and then the ring on his finger completely vanished.

"Permeate a wisp of your spiritual force into it, allowing your spiritual imprint to merge. You only need to do this once; it won't be necessary again," Babata said.

"Spiritual imprint?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled, "How do I do that?"

"Idiot." Babata bared his teeth in annoyance. "A spiritual imprint—no matter how strong a person's soul becomes, there will always be slight differences in its essence! No two souls are exactly alike. Just permeate your spiritual force into it! Don't worry about anything else!"

"Oh." Luo Feng's mind stirred, and a wisp of spiritual force quickly traveled along his arm into his finger, permeating the ring.

The ring underwent subtle changes, and in just a moment—Luo Feng felt as if the ring had become an extension of his own body; he could clearly perceive everything within it without needing spiritual force. Inside the ring was an empty space, very large in volume. According to Luo Feng's internal perception—its height was roughly 100 meters.

"The space within this ring is a cuboid. According to your Earth's units of measurement, it's 612 meters long, 521 meters wide, and 108 meters high. We'll disregard anything after the decimal point." Babata looked at Luo Feng triumphantly, seemingly wanting to see an expression of shock and surprise on his face.

"Oh." Luo Feng nodded.

"Damn it, don't you know how difficult it is to cleave a piece of cosmic space and integrate it into an artifact? And such a large space at that?" Babata was very displeased with Luo Feng's expression. "If experts in the cosmos knew, your life would be forfeit. But as long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know."

Luo Feng was secretly startled to hear this... Creating a spatial ring actually involved cleaving a piece of cosmic space? That's insane! No wonder even the arrogant Babata said that creating spatial rings was extremely difficult.

"Let's go, we're heading up," Babata said.

"Hmm, this crystal coffin..." Luo Feng looked at the coffin.

The black-robed child, Babata, turned to look at the corpse in the crystal coffin, his expression complex for a moment. He whispered, "Boss, from today onwards, I'll be with your disciple. Don't worry, leave everything to me." His voice was so low that Luo Feng didn't quite catch it. Immediately after, Babata pointed a finger at the ground.

Click, click, click~~ The crystal coffin began to slowly descend, sinking into the ground in moments, and the floor started to close up.

"Let's go up." Babata had become much calmer.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Luo Feng followed behind Babata, flying directly up the passage to the circular hall above.

...

In the circular hall, it was brightly lit. Luo Feng looked at the six corpses before him, sighing with emotion. Of these six corpses... five were actually Immortal experts!

"Luo Feng." Babata pointed at a golden skeleton on the ground. "This was the Master's second personal disciple, and one of the most outstanding among his disciples. However, during that battle, the Master was being pursued, and the enemy's attack even penetrated the Yunmo Star ship, affecting its interior! The Immortal experts were fine, but he... died instantly."

"Penetrated the ship and affected the inside?" Luo Feng was greatly astonished.

"What level was this second senior brother of mine?" Luo Feng quickly asked.

"Domain Lord-level!" Babata stated.

Luo Feng fell silent... A Domain Lord-level expert, killed by a super Immortal expert's attack that penetrated the ship! He guessed the Immortal expert's true target was the Yunmo Star Master!

"Ah." Luo Feng suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Babata. "Babata, Cosmic-level experts can fight on white dwarfs. A Domain Lord-level expert could probably destroy a planet with a flick of their hand. This enemy's attack penetrated the ship and killed him! Yet, the ship hasn't turned to dust. What material is this ship made of?"

"You've finally realized it," Babata said, pointing at the surrounding walls. "Look, the indentations on the floor, the indentations on the walls! Those were caused by Immortal experts fighting! Even an Immortal expert could, at most, only create an indentation on the ground!"

"This Yunmo Star ship was acquired by my Master at the cost of immense effort and a considerable price! And it was named 'Yunmo Star'."

"Talk about its price? Even if you sold your entire Earth, it wouldn't be enough for a tiny fraction of this ship," Babata said, holding his head high. "Oh right... didn't you pick up a blood-red fragment earlier?"

"Uh, yes." Luo Feng nodded. That weapon fragment's power was truly outrageous.

"That was a fragment that broke off the edge when the ship crashed into Earth and became deeply embedded underground!" Babata chuckled. "Don't think it was caused by impact; even if it crashed into a neutron star, this ship wouldn't crack! It was actually the attack from that super expert that damaged the hull and caused a fragment to break off the edge."

"Initially, the fragment was protected by the ship's shield. Only when the ship crashed deep into Earth and the shield deactivated did the fragment break off," Babata explained.

"A fragment? And it's that sharp?" Luo Feng quickly asked.

"Let me show you the ship's appearance," Babata said, pointing to the empty space ahead.

Whoosh! Immediately, a three-dimensional virtual model appeared out of thin air, just like a real, miniaturized spaceship! It was a blood-red 'triangular' ship, but its three 'corners' were all curved! And the ship's edges were extremely thin and very sharp! It looked menacing at first glance!

"Once the Yunmo Star ship picks up speed in the cosmos, with its sharp edges, it can easily cut through even asteroid fields! Its speed is barely affected," Babata said proudly. "You using it to cut your combat boots was a complete waste of its potential. That material is something even Immortal experts find hard to destroy!"

"Oh?" Luo Feng suddenly understood. So that was just a fragment of the ship, not a blade fragment as he had thought.

"However, the Yunmo Star ship is severely damaged and can't even take off now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to wait on Earth for fifty thousand years," Babata said, shaking his head. "It can't even take off, let alone repair its hull! Keep this fragment; I'll teach you how to use it later. It's much stronger than your Duntiansuo."

Luo Feng quickly asked, "The fragment, does it also have a unique way of being used?"

"Of course!" Babata chuckled. "Your Earth's cultivation methods and combat techniques are too crude and primitive."

"Alright, now let's talk about the legacy your teacher left you," Babata said.

Luo Feng listened intently.

"You've already put away the pile of Muya Jing from earlier," Babata said.

"What exactly is Muya Jing used for?" Luo Feng quickly asked.

"Muya Jing is a treasure used for cultivation, and also for raising tamed beasts and plant life. Its uses are vast," Babata explained. "Just one Muya Jing can allow an apprentice of around the eighth or ninth tier to directly break through to Planet-level First Tier in about a month! Of course, in the cosmos, it's most commonly used for raising tamed beasts and cultivating plant life. For example, the 'Moyun Teng' that Hong obtained will grow very quickly if fed Muya Jing."

"And from now on, don't absorb energy from the cosmos anymore. That efficiency is far too low; you'd waste most of your time absorbing energy and never become Cosmic-level in your lifetime."

"From now on, you'll cultivate using Muya Jing. I have plenty of it here," Babata said.
