Elder Kebu

The elder, seated high on his throne, looked down at Luo Feng, smiling. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a young human. Your youth astonishes me; I can hardly believe you managed to defeat that child, Bei Chuang.”

“Elder, I merely achieved a difficult victory,” Luo Feng replied respectfully.

His heart, however, was trembling.

His teacher, Zhenyan King, had once told him that some super-existences in the universe could discern at a glance how long a life form had existed. Even for Undying Gods with eternal lifespans, those great beings could still tell how long they’d lived. This Elder likely saw that his lifespan was only about 300 years.

“As expected of an Elder stationed in the Holy City,” Luo Feng thought, secretly amazed. “The Golden Horn Clan has many Elders, but for this one to be stationed in the Holy City, he must be one of the strongest among them.”

“Have you comprehended the Holy Stele?” the Elder asked, looking down from above with a smile, as if questioning a disciple.

“I have comprehended it and gained immensely. Thank you, Elder, for granting me this opportunity,” Luo Feng said respectfully.

A hearty laugh echoed throughout the grand hall. The Elder chuckled, “Little one, from what I understand, you follow the same path as our great leader, Xiluoduo, of the Golden Horn Clan. Both of you are Spirit Masters, cultivating both Space Law and Gold Law. The Holy Stele would indeed be of significant benefit to you.”

Luo Feng bowed slightly, obediently listening to the Elder’s words from below the throne.

“Do you wish to comprehend the Holy Stele again?” the Elder asked, looking at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng felt a slight awkwardness. “The Holy Stele is indeed of immense benefit for comprehending laws. To say I don’t wish to comprehend it again would be deceiving you, Elder.”

“Haha, I will give you the opportunity, little one. If you can unleash the ninth stage of the Yan Shen Weapon before becoming an Undying God, you will be qualified to enter the Holy Stele Tower once more,” the Elder said with a smile. “If you successfully break through to become an Undying God, you can still enter the Holy Stele Tower to comprehend it once, for the same duration as this time.”

Luo Feng was taken aback.

“Whether you can enter the Holy Stele Tower depends on your capabilities,” the Elder said with a smile.

“Thank you, Elder,” Luo Feng said respectfully.

“Haha…” The Elder laughed heartily. “Both of these comprehension opportunities come with conditions. If one’s talent or ability isn’t sufficient, entering the Holy Stele Tower would be an insult to Elder Xiluoduo.”

Luo Feng sighed inwardly. This Elder of the Golden Horn Clan, stationed in the Holy City, a powerful figure akin to a Universe Venerable, was surprisingly friendly towards him. He had initially given him a comprehension opportunity and the chance to freely choose any secret art.

“Oh, right.”

“This Elder of the Golden Horn Clan acts this way, likely because he saw that I could defeat Bei Chuang, and thus values me more,” Luo Feng instantly understood. “Initially, he gave me a comprehension opportunity and allowed me to choose any secret art. But now he’s given me two more comprehension opportunities, albeit with prerequisites... However, if I can’t even meet these requirements, this Elder probably wouldn’t care about me anymore.”

Elders are the highest echelon of existence in the Golden Horn Clan.

Even King-tier Undying Gods don’t garner much attention from these Elders, and so-called human geniuses are likewise disregarded by them.

However!

The battle between Luo Feng and Bei Chuang allowed this Elder, who possessed detailed intelligence on Luo Feng, to quickly assess Luo Feng’s astonishing potential, hence his friendly demeanor.

Offering help in times of need is always better than adding flowers to brocade.

Luo Feng was currently a nobody, so the Elder’s politeness naturally earned his gratitude.

If Luo Feng were to become a super-existence among humans in the future, earning his gratitude would be far more difficult.

...

After the audience with the Golden Horn Clan Elder concluded, Luo Feng, Sifanqi, and Dilun exited the grand hall, along with the other Undying Gods.

“Luo Feng, human.” A voice rang out.

Luo Feng turned his head to see a man in loose robes speaking, whose appearance bore some resemblance to the Elder.

“And you are?” Luo Feng asked the man before him.

“Your Highness Luo Feng, this is Tugaluo, a Marquis-tier Undying God,” Elder Sifanqi introduced with a smile. “Elder Tugaluo is the Elder’s son, and the only one among the Elder’s sons to become an Undying God.”

“Oh.” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.

Tugaluo, clad in his loose robes, said indifferently, “Luo Feng, human, Bei Chuang, whom you defeated, and his elder brother, Bei Qiu, are both my disciples.”

Luo Feng’s heart stirred.

Bei Chuang and Bei Qiu’s teacher?

“You defeated Bei Chuang; I have nothing to say but admiration,” Tugaluo said, looking down at Luo Feng. “However, my disciple Bei Qiu challenged you, yet for some reason, you didn’t accept the challenge? My disciple Bei Qiu waited outside your residence for three months, yet received no reply from you. Even if you refused, you should at least give the Golden Horn Clan some face.”

Luo Feng quickly smiled and said, “Elder Tugaluo, so you are indeed Bei Qiu and Bei Chuang’s teacher. To be honest, defeating Bei Chuang was already very difficult for me. I heard from Elder Sifanqi that Bei Qiu is more than ten times stronger than his younger brother. I have absolutely no confidence in facing him. Of course, I wouldn’t accept a challenge just to lose face for nothing.”

“You concede?” Tugaluo looked at Luo Feng, somewhat taken aback.

Luo Feng smiled and nodded. “Yes, I am indeed far from being a match for Bei Qiu right now. I can only wait until I’ve cultivated to become stronger before accepting his challenge. As for my actions... it’s mainly because so many young Golden Horn Clan members came to challenge me that I got scared. I hope Elder Tugaluo can be understanding.”

Tugaluo stared at Luo Feng with wide eyes.

He was the only one among the Elder’s many children to become an Undying God. Over the long years, all the Elder’s other relatives had long since perished, leaving only Tugaluo as his sole child.

Although Tugaluo was merely a Marquis-tier God, his special status granted him an extremely high position.

The matter with Bei Chuang and Bei Qiu had made Tugaluo very displeased with Luo Feng. However, he dared not cause trouble in front of his father in the grand hall. But as soon as they exited, he wanted to confront Luo Feng.

But—Luo Feng had backed down! Luo Feng had conceded! He admitted he was inferior to Bei Qiu.

What to do?

“You—” Tugaluo blinked his eyes.

“When my strength improves and I have the confidence to fight Bei Qiu, I will certainly challenge him upon my next visit to the Golden Horn Clan. As for now, my strength is truly insufficient.” Luo Feng bowed slightly. “Elder Tugaluo, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll be leaving.”

Tugaluo could only nod.

Luo Feng politely departed with Dilun and Elder Sifanqi.

“This…” Tugaluo stood there for a long time, utterly speechless.

...

As Luo Feng walked through the winding, secluded Elder’s Divine Palace, he also encountered Bei Qiu and Bei Chuang, who had returned.

“Luo Feng, human, please accept my challenge,” Bei Qiu blocked Luo Feng’s path.

“I have matters to attend to, please move aside,” Luo Feng said.

Dilun, standing nearby, directly unleashed his Undying power. The potent Undying power, like sweeping away dust, directly ‘swept’ Bei Qiu to one side, while Luo Feng, Dilun, and Elder Sifanqi quickly walked away.

“You!”

Bei Qiu gnashed his teeth in anger.

...

Luo Feng walked through the winding, secluded Elder’s Divine Palace, pondering, “Since I’ve comprehended the Holy Stele and obtained the secret art ‘Yan Shen Thirty-Six Stages,’ it’s time for me to leave. At most, I’ll make a trip to the Tawen Department, and then I must return to the Milky Way Galaxy.”

“Next, I need to exchange for the ‘Myriad Heart Soul Control Secret Art.’ That secret art is outrageously expensive, but it’s worth it to control that Zerg Mother Nest.”

“After cultivating on Earth for a period and fully controlling the Zerg Mother Nest, I can then make a trip to Chaos City to comprehend and cultivate for a while. I have several opportunities to comprehend the Nine Universe Chaos Stele, which I can also use.”

Core members of the Virtual Universe Company all have the qualification to enter Chaos City.

Upon first joining (Universe Level), they have the opportunity to cultivate for approximately 30 years for free in Chaos City, which was Luo Feng’s first visit.

At the Domain Lord Level, they have the opportunity to cultivate for approximately 300 years for free in the primal universe’s Chaos City.

At the Sector Lord Level, they have the opportunity to cultivate for approximately 3000 years for free in Chaos City.

All of this is free! It’s a privilege for core disciples!

Furthermore, after entering Chaos City, while Domain Lords can cultivate for 300 years for free, Luo Feng can absolutely cultivate for 500 or even 1000 years. The only cost is... the additional time must be exchanged with points! The longer one cultivates, the more points are consumed. If one has enough points, they can even cultivate for ten thousand or a hundred thousand years in Chaos City.

Once the points are exhausted, Chaos City will forcibly request Luo Feng to leave.

...

While Luo Feng pondered his future plans, he also led Dilun and Elder Sifanqi out of the Elder’s Divine Palace.

“Your Highness.” The five Sector Lords and Kashina came forward to greet him.

“Let’s go,” Luo Feng commanded.

“Your Highness Luo Feng, human! Your Highness Luo Feng, human!” A very enthusiastic voice rang out.

Luo Feng looked up to see a blurry shadow rapidly approaching from a distance. It then solidified dozens of meters away from Luo Feng into a man wearing rock-grey combat armor. His eyes faintly resembled a pair of red gemstones, and these red pupils were fixed on Luo Feng as he smiled, “My name is Kebu.”

“Kebu!” Elder Sifanqi exclaimed in surprise.

“Elder Sifanqi.” The man in rock-grey combat armor bowed slightly in respect.

Luo Feng looked at Sifanqi in confusion. Sifanqi smiled and said, “Your Highness Luo Feng, this is Elder Kebu, an Undying God from the Tuoyan Tribe. He has participated in several wars between humans and other races and has many human friends.”

“Oh?” Luo Feng looked at the Undying God named Kebu.

“I’ve been in the Holy City recently and heard about Your Highness Luo Feng’s affairs. I didn’t dare disturb you, but I figured Your Highness would be leaving soon, so I came to bid you farewell,” the man in rock-grey combat armor said with a smile. “It’s truly a joyful and pleasant thing to see a human in my homeland.”

Luo Feng nodded with a smile.

“I wonder, Your Highness, which places you visited in our Lasiao World?” the man in rock-grey combat armor asked with a smile.

“Only here in the Holy City, and oh, the Tawen Department,” Luo Feng replied.

“Ah,” Elder Kebu quickly said, “Your Highness Luo Feng, our Golden Horn Clan’s homeland, the Lasiao World, possesses an incredibly long history after all. It has many wondrous and mysterious places, and also many locations extremely beneficial for cultivation. You haven’t visited any of them?”
