Treasures Left in the Grand Hall

The Demonic Sound reverberated. If one disregarded its illusory effects and simply listened to the music itself, it remained incredibly beautiful. The stairs in the void extended upwards, layer upon layer. Demon Killer Luo Feng transformed into a streak of light, soaring past the layers of stairs, quickly reaching the 3333rd step. This was the final step of the first stage. Before Luo Feng stood a Grand Hall, approximately a thousand meters tall, its outer walls adorned with various exquisite carvings. The hall had two massive golden gates. The gates were open. “The Grand Hall!” Luo Feng gazed at the golden gates, which exuded an astonishing pressure. Before these gates, hundreds of meters high, he felt as insignificant as an ant. “I’ve arrived.” Luo Feng flew directly into the Grand Hall. Inside the Grand Hall, a thick mist swirled. Above the mist, a stone stele floated, upon which mysterious characters automatically appeared. After a moment, the inscription was complete: “You are the 61201st inheritor to arrive here. You are qualified to receive the title of ‘Primary Candidate’ and obtain the Primary Candidate’s reward.” The text had just finished appearing. Luo Feng was looking around, searching for the promised treasure reward, when suddenly— “Those who can reach this place either completed the inheritance of the first stage’s 3333 steps, or they are like you, forcibly resisting the Demonic Sound to arrive.” A complex and mysterious voice echoed throughout the great hall. Luo Feng had never heard this language before, yet he instantly understood its meaning. Luo Feng was startled. The Demonic Mountain had existed for billions of years; that great being should have left long ago. “To be able to resist the Demonic Sound, you must at least be a Cosmic Venerable! A dignified Cosmic Venerable, already an overlord dominating a region of the cosmos, actually covets these little trinkets I left behind. Haha… Since you’ve come all this way yourself, take these trifles.” As the voice finished, two streams of energy automatically floated out from the mist. One golden stream of energy. One gray stream of energy. Demon Killer Luo Feng stood inside the Grand Hall, looking up at the two streams of energy floating in the distance, chuckling inwardly: “That great being probably left some kind of alert system within the inheritance palace. They must have seen me rush up without completing the 3333 layers of inheritance and concluded that I forcibly resisted the Demonic Sound to get here.” “Still, that’s quite impressive.” “According to his words, to resist the Demonic Sound, one must at least be a Cosmic Venerable.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. Venerables are divided into Space Venerables and Time Venerables. In the vast cosmos, they are indeed overlord-level figures, capable of founding Cosmic Nations, ruling billions of galaxies, and commanding countless subjects. Even among peak races like the human race, Cosmic Nation Lords are considered big-shot figures. In some weaker races in the cosmos, a Venerable… would likely represent the absolute peak of combat power. “It seems!” “The one who left this Demonic Sound inheritance must be even stronger than a Cosmic Venerable.” Luo Feng’s gaze, however, fell upon the two streams of energy. From the mist, a golden stream of energy and a gray stream of energy continuously drifted closer. Boom! Boom! The gray stream of energy burst open, revealing a strangely shaped gray stone disk floating within. This disk was about three meters long and half a meter wide, and its surface was covered with incredibly complex, naturally formed patterns. The intricate patterns in the center of the disk even formed the image of a flying beast. The golden stream of energy burst open, revealing a crystal-clear golden fruit. At first glance, it resembled a cantaloupe Luo Feng had once eaten on Earth. However, this floating fruit, though golden-yellow, was semi-transparent, allowing one to faintly see the flesh inside. Golden streams of energy also encircled it. A stone disk. A fruit! These were the treasures left behind by the inheritance palace. “Luofu Liupan!” Babata exclaimed in surprise. “The one who left this inheritance palace is truly generous, to have left a Luofu Liupan as a treasure in the first stage!” “What is a Luofu Liupan?” Luo Feng quickly asked. “The Luofu Liupan is somewhat similar to your Dark Cloud Shuttle,” Babata said. “It’s a flying weapon that you stand on.” “A flying psychic weapon?” Luo Feng asked, puzzled. Psychic weapons in the cosmos were quite cheap for Luo Feng now. Those Fifth-tier weapons… might be expensive for Sector Lords, but Luo Feng didn’t pay them much mind. However, this naturally formed stone disk before him was something Luo Feng had never seen or heard of. “Is this Luofu Liupan very valuable?” Luo Feng asked. “Are you kidding me!” Babata quickly retorted. “Luo Feng, those First-tier to Fifth-tier psychic weapons are all for those below Immortals! Immortal Gods are too lazy to use such weapons. Even the Yanshen Blade, one of the Nine Divine Weapons… unless it’s the most ordinary Immortal God, anyone with a bit of capability would switch to something better.” Luo Feng nodded; he knew this. “The weapons used by Immortal Gods come from numerous sources.” “And the Luofu Liupan is an extremely excellent and precious type of flying weapon used by Immortal Gods. Apart from a very few Marquis-level Immortals, most who possess it are King-level Immortals,” Babata continued. “It’s a naturally formed stone disk, created by the cosmos itself, with astonishing power!” Luo Feng was stunned. “Only a very few Marquis-level Immortals possess it. What about my master then?” Luo Feng asked. “Which master?” Babata asked. “If it’s Zhenyan King, of course, he could acquire such a treasure. But my master… he was a bit lacking. The flying weapon my master used back then was far inferior to this. After all, the Luofu Liupan’s price is between 1 to 2 million Mixed Yuan Units, and very few people sell it!” Luo Feng took a deep breath. Calm down, he had to calm down. 1 to 2 million Mixed Yuan Units? “Insane, truly insane!” Luo Feng felt truly poor. A million Mixed Yuan Units, what kind of concept was that? Luo Feng had once participated in an auction where a small starfield, the ‘Tana Starfield’, was auctioned off for only 1,000 Mixed Yuan Units. Of course, that was a small starfield. The Heilong Mountain Starfield, on the other hand, was a large starfield, with twenty times the number of galaxies as the Tana Starfield! Because the galaxies were clustered together, making them easier to govern, their value could skyrocket dozens of times, yet their price was still only between 300,000 to 1 million Mixed Yuan Units. Typically, 500,000 Mixed Yuan Units would be enough to buy the Heilong Mountain Starfield. 1 million Mixed Yuan Units was absolutely the peak. “This single stone disk is comparable to the Heilong Mountain Starfield?” Luo Feng took a deep breath. “If you were to give this stone disk to that Immortal God of ‘Holy Land Heilong Mountain’, that Immortal God would undoubtedly be thrilled to exchange with you,” Babata said. “After all, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is merely the private property of an Immortal God.” Luo Feng nodded. He had to adjust his perspective. Unlike Earth, many nations in the cosmos were private property! For example, the ‘Ganwu Universe Nation’ was the private property of its Ganwu Cosmic Nation Lord. If there were… a secret treasure that could elevate the Ganwu Nation Lord’s strength to the level of a ‘Chaos City Lord’. The Ganwu Nation Lord would probably be thrilled to offer the entire Ganwu Universe Nation in exchange for that secret treasure. “What about that fruit?” Luo Feng asked again. “That, I don’t know. I’ve been with your master for over sixty million years, and I’ve seen and heard many things, but I’ve never seen a golden fruit of this shape. I only know… of another special golden fruit,” Babata said. “But it’s clearly not like this one.” … Inside the Grand Hall. Luo Feng looked up at the two treasures floating in the mist. His conversation with Babata, though seemingly extensive, had actually occurred in an instant. At this moment! The stone stele floating in the mist once again displayed text: “The Primary Candidate’s reward: the first item is the Luofu Liupan, a flying artifact for psychics. With it, your survival probability in the dangerous cosmos will be higher. The second item is the Golden Soul Fruit, a miraculous fruit that ripens only once every three thousand epochs. It possesses the wondrous effect of altering the soul, making it more suitable for receiving inheritance! Both the first and second stages contain treasures that modify the soul. However, to this day, no life form has been able to accept the complete inheritance.” Luo Feng was enlightened. He immediately stretched out his hand, which automatically extended, directly grabbing the two treasures. He swiftly stored the ‘Luofu Liupan’ and ‘Golden Soul Fruit’ into his spatial ring. “So the Golden Soul Fruit has the miraculous effect of altering the soul,” Luo Feng nodded inwardly. “That makes sense!” “If I were the great being who left this inheritance, I would also leave behind some treasures to assist future generations in accepting the complete inheritance,” Luo Feng mused. “Unfortunately, even with the assistance of a great being, hundreds of thousands of life forms have come here, almost all of them Immortal Gods, yet none have succeeded.” … After obtaining these two treasures, Demon Killer Luo Feng swiftly left the Grand Hall and flew downwards. Whoosh! He flew directly downwards, from the lofty Grand Hall, all the way to the 1237th step. He stood beside his Earthling main body, handed over the spatial ring, and then vanished into thin air, entering Luo Feng’s internal world. Luo Feng stood on the 1237th step, looking up at the Grand Hall, a smile spreading across his face. “Haha…” “This time, I’ve truly struck gold,” Luo Feng revealed a hint of joy. “The cosmos is incredibly vast and mysterious, full of opportunities, but only by seizing them can one succeed. I’ve managed to seize this opportunity.” With a flip of his hand. The translucent golden fruit appeared in Luo Feng’s hand, surrounded by golden streams of energy visible to the naked eye. The Golden Soul Fruit, which bore fruit only once every three thousand epochs. “According to the information within the Grand Hall, the Golden Soul Fruit can alter the soul, making it more suitable for receiving inheritance.” Luo Feng no longer hesitated. He took a bite of the Golden Soul Fruit, and as soon as he broke through its skin, the flesh inside instantly surged into his body like a stream of energy. Hiss, hiss, hiss~~~ Even the golden peel transformed into a stream of energy and poured into Luo Feng’s body. Luo Feng felt a cool sensation surge into his body. The energy then swiftly flowed into his core, penetrating his soul, which had already condensed into a crystal. The faint golden energy continuously merged, and Luo Feng’s soul rapidly underwent a transformation. His entire soul, previously blood-red, now shimmered with a hint of gold. “So comfortable!” “The stinging sensation is completely gone, and there’s no trace of fatigue. Instead, I feel a hundred times more energetic.” Luo Feng clearly felt the metamorphosis of his soul. “Even that feeling of strenuous effort has vanished.” Luo Feng’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. “Hahahahaha…” “I can accept even more inheritance now!” Luo Feng was overjoyed. “Luo Feng, regarding the refinement of the Luofu Liupan, let me remind you,” Babata’s voice echoed in Luo Feng’s sea of consciousness.
