Immortal Temple

In the palace, Blood God Ba Qi laughed heartily as he descended from his throne. Luo Feng remained kneeling on one knee. "Hmm." Ba Qi looked at Luo Feng, kneeling on one knee, and grew more satisfied the more he looked. Xueluo World was different from the cosmos. Super-giant powers like the Virtual Universe Company in the cosmos cultivated their geniuses, encouraging them to compete, but always with a protective approach. Xueluo World was different! The Xueluo Continent had tens of millions of World Cities and countless Sector Lords, constantly attacking and killing each other! Even if you were a genius, no matter how extraordinary, you had to undergo various trials of slaughter to gradually reach the pinnacle! That's why Ba Qi recruited elites to establish his 'Blood God Guard'—this was the capital he needed to conquer the world! He was currently cultivating in seclusion, but once he publicly reappeared, power, status, and everything else would have to be seized through slaughter! The Xueluo Continent revered strength! It revered slaughter! "Ninety-Seven, you were able to kill a Domain-level First-tier Blood Demon at Cloud-level Ninth-tier." Ba Qi stood there, looking down at Luo Feng, who was kneeling on one knee. "Now that you've fused three Xueluo Crystals, your progress will surely be even faster! Your talent is top-tier, even among the geniuses recruited by my Immortal Temple!" "Under my command, the benefits you receive will absolutely be no less than those given to the geniuses cultivated by the Temple!" Ba Qi said confidently. "If you show me loyalty, I will treat you with sincerity!" "Thank you, Lord. Your subordinate will certainly do his utmost to serve you." Luo Feng remained kneeling on one knee, his words crisp and clear. Ba Qi's smile widened upon hearing this. "Haha..." "Hahahaha..." Ba Qi laughed heartily, his laughter echoing through the palace, even causing the Blood God Guards meditating on the third floor of the palace to look up, wondering why their Blood God Lord was so happy. Ba Qi, with a smiling face, personally helped Luo Feng up, and Luo Feng stood up with the momentum. "Work hard," Ba Qi said, smiling at Luo Feng. "First, break through to the Domain-level... Oh, as for the Xueluo Medals, I haven't occupied a World City yet, and the Xueluo Medals I brought with me back then have long since been given out." "Uh." Luo Feng was startled. Given out? Meaning Ba Qi didn't have any Xueluo Medals? "Haha, Ninety-Seven, you little fellow, your expression changed when you heard there were no Xueluo Medals." Ba Qi laughed. "I understand your thoughts. I grew up hearing legends of 'Blood Warriors' and 'Black Warriors,' striving to become one, eager to obtain a Xueluo Medal." "To those who receive it, it's just a medal, nothing more. But to those who haven't, it's a goal they pursue for thousands of years." "Indeed!" "I don't have any Xueluo Medals with me either. I will notify the Immortal Temple and ask them to send me more Xueluo Medals." Ba Qi looked at Luo Feng with a smile. "It will probably take about 10 days, or as fast as 6 or 7 days. The Immortal Temple will send an envoy to deliver the Xueluo Medals to me. I'll give them to you then." "Thank you, Lord!" Luo Feng bowed, his face full of gratitude. "Haha... Go on! First, break through to the Domain-level!" Blood God Ba Qi laughed. "Oh, right, here are two Xueluo Crystals! Come find me again once you've fused them all." With that, Blood God Ba Qi flipped his hand and produced two Xueluo Crystals. The two Xueluo Crystals then floated directly in front of Luo Feng. Luo Feng respectfully reached out and took them. "Thank you, Lord." Blood God Ba Qi smiled as he watched Luo Feng respectfully depart, then couldn't help but laugh a few more times, his laughter seemingly making the entire palace tremble. ... When Luo Feng left the fifth floor of the palace, he encountered other Blood God Guards. They were all curious why Blood God Ba Qi was so happy. So they all came to ask! Luo Feng, of course, explained, which immediately made most of the Blood God Guards envious, and they all congratulated Luo Feng. Amidst the congratulations, Luo Feng left the palace, soaring directly into the sky, flying towards the abyss filled with red malevolent energy. "The first time I met Blood God Ba Qi, he was domineering and cold. If I had shown the slightest disobedience, he would have killed me instantly." Luo Feng shook his head with a smile as he flew, sighing inwardly. "But after all these years, when I see him again, his attitude is clearly much better. He's even more affectionate now that he knows I've fused three Xueluo Crystals." This was a form of trust. The first time they met, even though Luo Feng submitted, Blood God Ba Qi probably didn't trust him much. But Luo Feng's long period of staying within the giant pit's range, behaving properly, clearly pleased Blood God Ba Qi... He finally considered Luo Feng a trusted subordinate. Perhaps the level of trust wasn't as high as for Captain 'A Yi' and others, but Luo Feng's talent clearly made Blood God Ba Qi value him greatly. "What a pity!" "Ba Qi, I can't stay confined to this Xueluo World. My world... is much vaster." Luo Feng murmured to himself. "After I get the Xueluo Medals, I will leave!" "If I come back next time, it will definitely be a very, very long time from now." Swish! Luo Feng quickly broke through the air, flying directly towards his giant pit residence. ... Shortly after Luo Feng left, Blood God Ba Qi personally sent a message to the Immortal Temple via his communication device, requesting some Xueluo Medals. ... The Immortal Temple is located in the core region of the Ancient God Ruins. The land was vast, with mountain ranges undulating, and occasionally swamps, lakes, forests, giant pits, and so on... Within an area of tens of millions of kilometers, malevolent energy vortices were everywhere, sometimes on a mountaintop, sometimes deep in a lake, sometimes deep in a giant pit, or suspended in mid-air... The core of each malevolent energy vortex was a dazzling red Sun. Within this area of tens of millions of kilometers, there were actually 10,081 blood-red malevolent energy vortices. The largest ones were dozens of times the size of the malevolent energy vortex where Luo Feng resided in the giant pit, while the smallest were only one-tenth its size. There was a wide variety of blood-red malevolent energy vortices. They varied in height, size, and location. The 10,081 malevolent energy vortices, distributed across the sky, lakes, mountains, and deep valleys, naturally formed a unique pattern! "Boom!" "Roar!" "Growl!" It was as if an ancient beast was roaring, echoing through this region across hundreds of millions of years. At the center of the 10,081 malevolent energy vortices was an ancient temple, covering an area of about a million kilometers, composed entirely of black and red. The temple's surface had incredibly complex carvings, such as roaring beasts and battling immortal gods. This ancient temple, surrounded by the 10,081 malevolent energy vortices at its core, also exuded an ancient aura. How large was this ancient temple, covering an area of a million kilometers? Earth, compared to this temple, was tiny. The temple's size could rival the Sun! This was the supreme power center of the entire Xueluo World, a place that even the Virtual Universe Company had not fully conquered. ... The Immortal Temple, majestic and towering, in a palace on its 9829th floor. "Yu Ke." A figure shrouded in black battle armor and helmet stood before the throne, looking down. His voice boomed like thunder. Below, a man in a white uniform knelt on the ground, his head bowed. "You are to retrieve 20 Xueluo Medals now, and deliver them to Ba Qi with the utmost speed," the armored figure said slowly. "Yes, Great God," the white-clad man knelt and replied respectfully. "Go!" the armored figure commanded. Swish! The armored figure vanished directly from the palace. Only then did the white-clad man rise, turn, and walk out, shouting loudly to the outside: "Wula, your team of special envoys, prepare immediately! We are departing the Temple at once." "Yes, Lord Yu Ke." Voices responded from outside. ... Moments later, a deep purple saucer-shaped spaceship quickly broke through the air and flew away from the Temple. Above the 15th layer of clouds, it sped towards the giant pit. ... The Ancient God Ruins were simply too vast. The spaceships manufactured by the Immortal Temple were far inferior in performance to Luo Feng's mechanical race spaceship. Furthermore, flying through clouds presented much greater resistance than flying in empty space. Therefore, the journey to the giant pit would take approximately 6-10 days, as Ba Qi mentioned. These 6-10 days were Xueluo Continent time. In Earth time, this would be about one to two months. ... When that spaceship had been flying for about 20 Earth days, in a vast lake within the Ancient God Ruins, there was an island in the center of the lake. Inside the island, powerful experts were cultivating in seclusion. Deep beneath the lake, there was also a giant malevolent energy vortex, with endless malevolent energy permeating the area, making this lake island an excellent place for cultivation. "Lord!" "Lord!" Two figures suddenly burst out from the lake's surface, landing directly on the lake island. Both urgently shouted, their voices booming... echoing throughout the entire island. Given the strength of Sector Lord level experts, the loudness of their shouts was considerable. "Lord." "Lord." The two rushed to the entrance of a beautiful silver-white palace. Outside the palace stood several beautiful maidservants. Boom! A figure rushed out from inside the palace, instantly appearing at the entrance. With a wave of his hand, a giant palm formed by world energy fiercely struck the two shouting subordinates. The two Sector Lord experts were slapped away, crashing into distant trees and flowers. "I told you," said a handsome, enchanting youth in a white robe, standing at the palace entrance. His foxy, captivating eyes swept over the two men spitting blood in the distance. "When I'm cultivating in seclusion, if you need to find me, you must first report to the intelligent optical computer! Yet you shouted and yelled... This is a lesson for you. If it happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless." The two guards immediately sobered up in fright. "Your subordinates admit their mistake." "Your subordinates admit their mistake." The two flew back, bowing respectfully. "Hmph." The fox-like youth snorted, then said indifferently, "Speak, what is so important that made you so frantic?" "A ruin, at the bottom of the lake," one guard quickly shouted. "There's a ruin deep at the bottom of the lake, it might be the legendary ruin left from that battle countless years ago," the other guard added. The fox-like youth's eyes immediately widened. A ruin? A ruin from that legendary battle? "Take me there, quickly!" the fox-like youth shrieked, his face flushed with excitement.
