The New Yunmo Star

That same day, Luo Feng returned Hong to the Bu She Ka family mansion. As Hong departed, he cautioned Luo Feng, “Third Brother, I need your help with this matter, but you must first understand the situation clearly. Don’t act rashly… If Ji Qing is truly harmed, then I…”

“Big Brother, I understand!” Luo Feng nodded.

This was also why Luo Feng had not actively revealed his identity. When Ji Landeng arrived, Luo Feng had subtly altered his facial muscles to prevent Ji Landeng from recognizing him.

Regardless!

It wasn't yet time to formally confront Yin Xue Marquis Ji Tianzang. Luo Feng dared not rush into Big Brother’s affairs, as well-intentioned actions gone awry were countless.

…

Time flowed by. Although Luo Feng had arrived at Qiongyu Star, he had been residing in Yanshan Manor, soaking in the nutrient cabin.

“Still not gone?”

“That Hong, is he still staying with the Bu She Ka family?” Ji Landeng paced back and forth in the hall. “This young man also performed exceptionally well in the Cosmic Nation’s genius battle. Such a genius… should have immense pride. Whether for his pride or for a ridiculous love, my words should have made him leave long ago!”

“Master, he has indeed remained with the Bu She Ka family,” the thin man with dark red skin, kneeling, respectfully reported.

“Bastard!”

Ji Landeng’s eyes seemed to spit fire. He truly wanted to lead his men to kill Hong directly.

However, he also knew that since even the clan ancestor, Yin Xue Marquis, hadn’t ordered a move, none of his subordinates dared to act on their own initiative!

…

One month, two months, three months…

To Ji Landeng’s anxious anticipation, Hong remained within the Bu She Ka family, never stepping outside, infuriating Ji Landeng. During this time, Luo Feng also quietly stayed in Yanshan Manor.

…

Inside a quiet room in the main building of Yanshan Manor.

A nutrient cabin was placed in the corner of the quiet room, while a beautiful, multi-colored Moyun Vine spread throughout the entire room. Subtle streams of light shimmered within its main vines and leaves, and all the long vines and leaves were quietly undergoing changes in color and appearance.

“Your Highness!” Dilun’s voice penetrated the walls, echoing in the quiet room.

*Click, click*~~~

The nutrient cabin door automatically opened, and a naked, perfectly proportioned black-haired man rose from the cold, precious nutrient fluid. Simultaneously, a layer of form-fitting azure battle armor materialized on his body. This Fourth-tier force battle armor was sent by the Virtual Universe Company at Luo Feng’s request.

Such items were provided free of charge by the Virtual Universe Company to its core members.

“Swoosh!” Many of the vines and leaves that covered the quiet room’s walls quickly moved closer, wrapping around Luo Feng’s arm.

“Moyun,” Luo Feng gently stroked a leaf, smiling. “Continue your slow evolution these days. Once you’ve finished evolving, it won’t be too late to fight alongside me.”

Immediately, one of the upright vines drooped slightly, as if nodding.

At the same time, a strong sense of attachment, like that of a child to its parents, emanated from the Moyun Vine’s consciousness.

“Haha, soon, you’ll complete your transformation in two more months.” Luo Feng, wearing his azure battle armor beneath a silver outer armor, pushed open the quiet room door and walked out.

“Your Highness.” Dilun, standing at the door, bowed slightly with a smile. “Congratulations, Your Highness, on reaching Domain Lord Eighth-tier.”

“Still a bit short of Ninth-tier,” Luo Feng chuckled.

This was because, from Domain Lord First-tier to Ninth-tier, the further one progressed, the more energy was required to accumulate! Especially the last three tiers, which demanded the most energy. Luo Feng estimated it would take about six months to reach the peak of Domain Lord Ninth-tier, and he had already spent four months… so he likely needed two more months.

“Your Highness, the Virtual Universe Company personnel are downstairs,” Dilun said.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Luo Feng nodded and soon arrived at the main building’s first-floor living room.

Three white-robed individuals stood there. Upon seeing Luo Feng and Dilun descend, the three white-robed figures simultaneously bowed respectfully: “Your Highness!”

“Haha, seeing you all truly makes me happy.” A hint of anticipation gleamed in Luo Feng’s eyes. “Has my spaceship been repaired and refitted?”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

The leading white-robed elder apologized, “This time, the modification department took a bit longer, which is why it’s only being delivered now. Please forgive us, Your Highness.”

“It’s fine. Let’s go to the underground warehouse,” Luo Feng said, barely containing his excitement. “Let me have a good look at it.”

“Yes!”

Luo Feng, Dilun, and the three white-robed individuals all went to the incredibly spacious underground warehouse. The leading white-robed elder bowed slightly to Luo Feng: “Your Highness, behold!” As he spoke, he pointed ahead, and instantly, a blood-red triangular spaceship appeared out of thin air on the warehouse floor. The sharp aura emanating from the spaceship caused the surrounding space to subtly vibrate.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up as he stared at the spaceship.

The Yunmo Star, a colossal vessel approximately 800 meters in diameter, had three incredibly thin and sharp ‘corners.’ The entire hull was covered in faint, almost invisible secret patterns that perfectly integrated with its structure. These patterns naturally imbued the Yunmo Star’s hull with an even more terrifyingly sharp aura.

Undoubtedly!

Once such a spaceship accelerated, even an asteroid field would be sliced through like fragile tofu, with little impact on its speed.

“Your Highness Luo Feng, this spaceship is entirely constructed from F9-grade metal ‘Crimson Chaos Copper Mother,’ supplemented by the perfected law secret patterns from our Virtual Universe Company’s master craftsmen. Its defense has reached an astonishing level. Even a King-level Undying God would find it extremely difficult to breach this spaceship,” the white-robed elder said with a smile, pointing at the ship. “Such a spaceship, if it were to integrate an undying metal lifeform… would absolutely be worthy of a King-level Undying.”

Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed.

The Yunmo Star?

The repaired Yunmo Star would accompany him for a very long time!

“Luo Feng, hurry, get inside, get inside,” Babata urged.

“Alright.”

Under the white-robed elder’s guidance, Luo Feng learned just how formidable the repaired and modified Yunmo Star was.

“The spaceship’s hull defense has been improved, along with the energy shield’s modifications, increasing overall defense by nearly 40% compared to before.” On the control room screen, Babata’s avatar appeared, excitedly stating, “The spaceship’s acceleration, turning, and other instantaneous burst capabilities have also increased by nearly 80%, and its maximum flight speed has reached an astonishing 50 times the speed of light… The Virtual Universe Company’s technology is truly powerful. To a certain extent, the Virtual Universe Company has exploited the Yunmo Star’s potential to its utmost. To further enhance the Yunmo Star… the best method is to have an undying-level metal lifeform integrate with this spaceship, giving the Yunmo Star life characteristics…”

“Haha!”

“After all these years, I can finally control the Yunmo Star again.” Babata on the screen was incredibly excited, but then he fell silent, a hint of sadness in his voice. “But my master…”

“Luo Feng!”

Babata looked at Luo Feng, his eyes shining. “You must avenge my master in the future!”

“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded gently. “Absolutely!”

Babata looked at Luo Feng, recalling the young man on Earth who had cautiously discovered the Yunmo Star and quietly entered it. At that time, he had purely chosen Luo Feng because there were no better options, allowing him to inherit Huyan Bo’s legacy and become Huyan Bo’s only living disciple.

Babata had even forbidden Luo Feng from asking about Huyan Bo’s enemies, because Babata hadn’t even dared to imagine that Luo Feng would one day be able to avenge Huyan Bo.

But now…

Babata saw hope!

“The heaven-defying talent of his three clones, his astonishing will, his powerful background, the meticulous cultivation by the Virtual Universe Company… Luo Feng, he absolutely has hope of becoming a King-level Undying God! Then, then, he will be able to kill that bastard,” Babata silently yearned.

Luo Feng, meanwhile, continued to examine the spaceship.

The Yunmo Star, much like the confidential rooms in the Cosmic River Bank, was capable of isolating mental probes and other forms of detection. With the Yunmo Star’s various system capabilities… unless Undying Gods could forcibly infiltrate with their divine power, no one below the Undying level could penetrate it for soul attacks!

“Entering this spaceship truly makes one safe,” Luo Feng mused. “In the future, when I become an Undying God, my Demon-Killer Race clone will be immune to soul attacks, and the Yunmo Star’s material defense is extremely strong. The combination of the two… is a trump card.”

…

Good news followed one after another. The day after Luo Feng acquired the Yunmo Star, his future companion in life-and-death adventures, the Virtual Universe Company’s official appointment finally arrived.

…

In Luo Feng’s manor in the Yuxiang Mountain Primitive Region of the Virtual Universe.

In the study.

Luo Feng sat at his desk, looking at the official email notification on his laptop screen—an appointment sent by the Virtual Universe Company.

“Luo Feng, from today onwards, you are the Inspector Special Envoy for the Ganwu Branch of the Virtual Universe Company! You possess a series of special privileges, including investigation and supervision over the War Department, Commerce Department, and Military Department.” Babata on his shoulder exclaimed, “Haha, Luo Feng, from now on, the three giants of the Ganwu Branch will probably be terrified of you!”

Luo Feng silently read the appointment details.

The appointment was straightforward.

This external assignment was a test during the Domain Lord stage. Simply for this inspection work, Luo Feng would receive 100,000 points when he stepped down upon reaching the Sector Lord stage.

“During your external assignment, our Virtual Universe Company will occasionally issue special missions for you to execute, with corresponding point rewards for each task.” This was one passage from the email.

Clearly—

During their cultivation period, Universe-level geniuses could undertake ‘training missions,’ while Domain Lord-level geniuses executed ‘various tasks,’ and Sector Lord-level geniuses faced various life-and-death adventures. All these would yield point rewards!

“With this appointment issued, the Ganwu Branch will also receive this notification simultaneously.” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed. “Now is the time for me to take office and pay my respects to those three giants.”

With the appointment in hand, Luo Feng’s status was naturally different. He was no longer just a genius, but an authority.
