Holy Land Heilong Mountain

Among the many princes, Buluolin was considered the most influential. Firstly, he had wealth, and secondly, he had powerful backing!

Now, his backer, 'Hagelaifu,' had lost influence in the Holy Land Heilong Mountain. Moreover, all the treasures he had obtained in the Realm-within-a-Realm had been given to his grandfather to compensate the Realm Lords.

“Money!”

“With money, even Realm Lords will bow their heads; without it, nothing can be accomplished!” Buluolin’s eyes glinted with a cold light. “Some of the empire’s intelligence systems and the general citizen information database are strictly forbidden for us princes to interfere with. If I had enough money, I could make people take risks to help me use the intelligence system and information system to search for information about Luo Feng!”

Imperial laws were extremely strict.

Because the Imperial Emperor had a very long lifespan, they generally guarded against the princes. The entire empire’s general citizen information database, intelligence systems, and so on, were absolutely forbidden for princes to interfere with.

However...

Laws were also set by people. And enforcing laws was also done by people! As long as there was enough money, people could be made to take risks.

“Back then, when I attacked the Three Axe Mountain forces, I used a laser gun to shoot 12 targets; 11 died, but Luo Feng didn’t,” Buluolin mused. “And he also exchanged treasures in the ancient castle, and he even has a spatial ring that can store a cosmic spaceship... To survive a C2 laser gun hit, he must have quite a few treasures on him!”

Buluolin wanted to get money, but he disdained small sums. Naturally, he thought of Luo Feng. Just from appearances, Luo Feng had quite a few treasures on him.

Any treasure casually thrown out from the Realm-within-a-Realm would fetch a sky-high price.

“This is the only way,” Buluolin gritted his teeth.

...

Buluolin changed into ordinary clothes and left his palace.

The Imperial Palace on the Imperial Capital Star was a completely floating city, with continuous palaces within it. The palace city was heavily guarded.

“It’s His Highness Buluolin.”

Some guards immediately made way. Buluolin walked directly deeper, arriving at a vast courtyard. At the edge of this courtyard stood a seemingly ordinary stone stele. Buluolin walked directly towards the stone stele... Ripples appeared on the surface of the stone stele, and Buluolin entered the stele.

...

Above the cloud-piercing mountain peak, ripples like water waves appeared, and a figure emerged from within.

“Your Highness Buluolin, what are you doing in the Holy Land?”

A low shout rang out, and a heart-palpitating aura spread. A lean man with a pair of wings on his back instantly appeared on the mountain peak, his green-glowing eyes fixed on Buluolin. Buluolin’s heart jolted, and he quickly said, “I have something I wish to discuss with my grandfather.”

“Let him come.”

A voice echoed across a million miles, reverberating on the mountain peak.

The winged man glanced at Buluolin and said coldly, “Remember, go directly to Lord Hagelaifu. Other areas are forbidden.”

“Yes!” Buluolin was extremely respectful.

The Holy Land ‘Heilong Mountain’ is the greatest backing behind the Imperial Royal Family.

The founding emperor of the empire, now the God Lord of the Holy Land ‘Heilong Mountain,’ was the one who, in the past, merged the space in the cosmos with his inner world, forming the great and vast God Kingdom—the Holy Land Heilong Mountain.

“God Kingdom.”

Buluolin flew out of the mountain peak, looking at the vast world before him. It was a boundless sea, and above the sea hung a Sun. That was an Immortal being, who had brought a real star from the outside and placed it within the God Kingdom!

Creating heaven and earth, plucking stars.

This describes Immortals!

“The Holy Land is countless times larger than the Imperial Capital Star outside,” Buluolin thought as he flew, looking up at the star in the sky. “To be able to place a star inside, Immortals are truly formidable. If one day, I could become an Immortal...” After thinking, Buluolin shook his head with a bitter smile.

Immortality, just thinking about it felt too distant to him.

The entire Heilong Mountain Starfield had fewer than a hundred Realm Lords, but by probability, all of these nearly 100 Realm Lords would likely die of old age. Breaking through to Immortality was incredibly difficult.

Realm Lords have limited lifespans.

Immortals are the truly eternal beings.

“Whoosh!” With a thought, Buluolin released his cosmic spaceship from his spatial ring.

Swoosh!

The cosmic spaceship flew through this vast God Kingdom, swiftly heading towards his grandfather’s location. The spaceship’s speed was extremely fast. After flying for nearly a million kilometers, he saw the most magnificent mountain range in the entire God Kingdom—a colossal black mountain range, over a hundred thousand kilometers high, suspended above the ocean.

A floating mountain range over a hundred thousand kilometers high!

A mountain range far larger than Earth!

The entire mountain range was black, resembling a colossal black dragon with wings. This mountain range... was the legendary ‘Heilong Mountain’.

“Heilong Mountain.” Even though Buluolin had visited several times, he was still awestruck.

Approaching Heilong Mountain, the naked eye couldn’t see the peak of this mountain range, nor its end.

“Come to me.” A voice echoed in Buluolin’s ear.

“Yes.”

After Buluolin’s cosmic spaceship reached Heilong Mountain, he immediately retracted the ship and flew directly towards a luxurious palace. At the edge of the cliff in front of the palace stood a bald, hawk-nosed old man. The temperature of the space around him seemed to drop slightly. He was none other than Hagelaifu, one of the top three super powerhouses among the Realm Lords in the Holy Land Heilong Mountain!

“Grandfather.” Buluolin rushed over.

“Hmm.” Hagelaifu looked at Buluolin, a rare smile appearing on his face. “Abu, what brings you here?”

“Grandfather, I haven’t been doing well these days,” Buluolin said with a helpless, bitter expression.

“I understand.” Seeing his grandson like this, Hagelaifu felt a pang of shame. His grandson had performed admirably during the Realm-within-a-Realm expedition! However, due to the inheritance crystal ball, he ended up with the final outcome. Moreover, all the treasures his grandson obtained... had ended up in Hagelaifu’s hands.

“Grandfather, nothing can be done on the Imperial Capital Star without money,” Buluolin said helplessly. “I now know that there’s a Star-level fellow in the Realm-within-a-Realm who obtained many treasures. But I can’t use the imperial intelligence system or the imperial citizen information database to investigate. I know there are treasures, but I can’t get them.”

“Oh?” Hagelaifu’s eyes lit up. “Are you certain?”

“I am absolutely certain.”

Buluolin nodded repeatedly. “First, I’m certain he exchanged treasures in the ancient castle. Second, he has a spatial ring that can store a cosmic spaceship. Third, he survived a C2-grade laser gun hit.”

“What’s his name, and what information do you have?” Hagelaifu pressed.

After the Realm-within-a-Realm battle, Hagelaifu was almost bankrupt!

An ordinary Realm Lord might have 10 mixed-element units in assets, but Hagelaifu couldn’t even produce 1 mixed-element unit now.

“His name is Luo Feng. In the Realm-within-a-Realm, he entered the allied forces as a subordinate of Mingyu from Three Axe Mountain,” Buluolin said. “But I can’t investigate. As a prince, I don’t have much authority.”

“I’ll investigate,” Hagelaifu said directly.

At the same time, a wisp of Hagelaifu’s consciousness directly entered the Virtual Universe Network and began issuing orders.

Princes have little power.

However, even though Hagelaifu had lost influence, he was still one of the top three Realm Lords in the Holy Land Heilong Mountain. He could not only use the imperial citizen information database but also investigate through Heilong Mountain’s special intelligence system. In just a few minutes, Hagelaifu received a reply.

“Hmm?” Hagelaifu frowned slightly.

“Found anything?” Buluolin asked, somewhat expectant.

“Yes, I found him,” Hagelaifu said with a frown. “Luo Feng, he is indeed a subordinate of Mingyu. After the Realm-within-a-Realm battle, he received 100 planetary territories granted by Mingyu. Mingyu, in turn, obtained a fifth-tier force weapon, the ‘Sky-Slicing Blade,’ which he then sold to a general of Three Axe Mountain. It’s likely that this Sky-Slicing Blade is the treasure Luo Feng obtained.”

“Luo Feng, from the very beginning, had a planet under his command, named Earth.”

“Traveling to Earth is very troublesome. It requires passing through a wormhole, and then flying for nearly three years to arrive.”

“The Holy Land’s intelligence organization discovered from the Botelai family... that the Botelai family once arranged a squad, spending nearly three years to travel to Earth. However, Earth actually had a Universe-level Ninth-tier expert who stopped the Botelai family’s squad and declared it to be within Three Axe Mountain’s sphere of influence.”

Buluolin was stunned, unable to help but say, “Grandfather—”

“It’s very troublesome,” Hagelaifu shook his head. “First, we don’t know if Luo Feng is on Earth. Second, traveling to Earth takes too long. Third, Earth has at least a Universe-level Ninth-tier expert. To dispatch, we’d need to send at least a Domain Lord. And I only have three Domain Lords under my command. Fourth, the treasure Luo Feng obtained, the ‘Sky-Slicing Blade,’ has already been offered up. Fifth, and most importantly, that place is Three Axe Mountain’s territory.”

Three Axe Mountain, the head of the four major organizations. The Holy Land Heilong Mountain is unwilling to easily antagonize Three Axe Mountain.

“This matter ends here for now. I’ll arrange for the Holy Land’s intelligence system to focus on investigating Luo Feng,” Hagelaifu said solemnly. “I’ve also been very busy recently, dedicating myself to training a group of disciples under my command.”

“Understood.” Buluolin also knew there was nothing to be done.

“Grandfather, you mentioned training disciples?” Buluolin was very surprised. A peak Realm Lord powerhouse would at most occasionally guide disciples. He had never heard his grandfather speak of ‘dedicating himself to training disciples’ before.

“This is a task arranged by the Holy Land,” Hagelaifu sighed. “Currently, in the vast cosmos, numerous Cosmic Nations, many God Kingdoms, and many organizations are seriously training disciples. Even those lone powerhouses are meticulously cultivating disciples, because, after all, time is running out.”

“What?” Buluolin grew even more puzzled.

“The two pinnacle battles...” Hagelaifu reminded him.

“Ah!”

Buluolin’s eyes widened. “Grandfather, are you saying—” Buluolin’s breathing quickened.

“Is it the Peerless Genius Battle, or the Powerhouse Battle?” Buluolin asked repeatedly.

“The Genius Battle,” Hagelaifu replied.

Buluolin’s heart pounded.

In the vast cosmos, it’s the law of the jungle. And humanity is one of the pinnacle races among the many races in the cosmos! However, being at the pinnacle now doesn’t mean they’ll always be there, so... humanity also strives to cultivate elites.

Among cosmic humanity, there are two most grand selection battles!

One is the ‘Cosmic Humanity - Pinnacle Genius’ selection battle, and the other is the ‘Cosmic Humanity - Pinnacle Powerhouse’ selection battle.

The Pinnacle Genius selection battle is for Star-level humans across all numerous Cosmic Nations. As long as one is a Star-level human, they can participate!

The Pinnacle Powerhouse battle is for Universe-level powerhouses across all human Cosmic Nations. Universe-level humans can participate in the selection!

“In the various Cosmic Nations, countless Star-level humans from billions of star systems battle under ‘absolutely fair conditions’. Those who can ultimately rise to the top are super peerless geniuses from countless star systems!” Hagelaifu exclaimed. “One’s talent, comprehension, and genius level can be seen at the Star-level! With selections conducted across all Cosmic Nations... I wonder if the top genius of our Heilong Mountain Starfield can even rank among the top million in the cosmos.”
