Return to the Milky Way Galaxy

One hundred and eighty-two years had passed in the blink of an eye. Of the hundreds of millions of ascetics meditating around the colossal Beast God statue, and those within the rock walls, 99% had not once risen.

For the long lifespans of these cosmic powerhouses, a mere 182 years was truly too brief.

...

Elder Sifanqi and Dilun sat cross-legged behind Luo Feng, invisible Immortal power encircling him, protecting him thoroughly.

“Mr. Dilun, His Highness Luo Feng has been cultivating for nearly two centuries. Does His Highness have a precise plan for when his cultivation will conclude?” Sifanqi turned to Dilun and inquired. Dilun smiled faintly, shaking his head. “His Highness will, of course, cultivate for as long as he wishes.”

“Hmm?”

Sifanqi and Dilun looked at Luo Feng almost simultaneously.

Luo Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged, twisted his neck and stretched his shoulders, then stood up with a rustle.

“Your Highness.” Dilun and Sifanqi immediately stood. This startled Kashina and the five human Sector Lords, who had been meditating with closed eyes, causing them to open their eyes and quickly rise.

“Thank you all for your trouble these past years,” Luo Feng turned and said with a smile.

“It was our duty,” Dilun replied.

“Nearly two centuries is nothing. I thought Your Highness would be cultivating in seclusion here for tens of thousands of years,” Sifanqi said with a laugh.

Luo Feng turned to look at the colossal Beast God statue, a sigh of emotion welling in his heart.

Cultivating in seclusion for tens of thousands of years.

Indeed.

If not for the Zerg Mother Nest still on Earth, he truly wouldn't be in a hurry to return. Observing and imitating the colossal Beast God statue here was highly beneficial for him to grasp a clearer 'Beast God Intent.' Although the 'colossal Beast God statue projection' synthesized from numerous photos taken by the Yunmo Star ship also possessed a formidable aura.

Yet, the level of perception was still slightly inferior.

“My current realm is still low, so imitating the colossal Beast God statue projection will suffice. After all, the true essence can be experienced through the small Beast God statues. The comprehension speed will only be slightly slower than here, about half as slow, which is acceptable.” Luo Feng had no choice; no matter what, he was a member of the Virtual Universe Company.

Now, he was even an Inspector Envoy.

This meant he couldn't stay here long-term.

Firstly, he might have missions to execute at any time.

Secondly, it was time to return and refine the Zerg Mother Nest. He had paid such a huge price for it; once refined, this Zerg Mother Nest would be his right-hand man. Even Huyan Bo had believed that if controlled, an endless Zerg swarm could hinder that terrifying formidable enemy from back then. This meant a Sector Lord-level Zerg Mother Nest could indeed rival extremely powerful Immortal Gods, at least in terms of trapping, hindering, and entangling enemies. And once this Zerg Mother Nest was cultivated to the 'Immortal-level,' he would truly have a massive turnaround, creating an Immortal Zerg warrior army—how formidable would that be?

...

“Leaving now?” Sifanqi asked in surprise. Kashina quickly added, “If His Highness Luo Feng has no urgent matters, he could take his time and tour our Golden Horn Clan's homeland.”

“No, I do have urgent matters, otherwise I wouldn't interrupt my comprehension of this colossal Beast God statue,” Luo Feng shook his head.

“Has Your Highness gained some insight?” Sifanqi asked curiously.

“I was just studying the scales,” Luo Feng replied.

“Indeed.”

Sifanqi nodded. “Our Golden Horn Clan also discovered the uniqueness of the scales long ago. The scale patterns of that Beast God statue cause law fluctuations, yet they are not any law I know of. Any Immortal God can instantly detect this peculiarity... It is precisely because of these scale patterns that so many powerhouses cultivate in seclusion here, even attracting human powerhouses. Look, just to your left-rear, in the distance, there are three human powerhouses. All three are King-level Immortal Gods among humans.”

“Oh?” Luo Feng turned to glance. The three men sat cross-legged, their aura contained, but Luo Feng didn't recognize any of them.

Most Golden Horn Clan members gave off a stony impression, an intrinsic feeling.

However, both Starry Sky Behemoths and humans exuded a visceral, flesh-and-blood sensation from within.

“Perhaps there are even stronger human powerhouses, but they might be staying in the Elder God Palace nearby,” Sifanqi explained. “I wouldn't know about individuals of such status.”

“Haha.”

Luo Feng laughed and nodded. “Alright, no more pleasantries. I've been very happy during my visit to Lasiao. Elder Sifanqi, I will remember this favor.”

“Haha, it's nothing, nothing at all,” Elder Sifanqi was most pleased at this moment.

Giving favors often risked encountering ingrates, but Luo Feng's words made Elder Sifanqi, who had been by his side for nearly two centuries, protecting and coaxing him like a young master, feel immensely gratified.

“Elder Sifanqi,” Dilun also spoke, “Then we shall part ways here.”

“Indeed.”

Sifanqi nodded.

“Kashina, we'll meet again in the future,” Luo Feng smiled at Kashina, the son of the Tawen Department's patriarch.

“Yes, we'll meet again,” Kashina nodded repeatedly.

Luo Feng and Dilun both smiled.

“Let's go!” Luo Feng commanded.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Luo Feng, Dilun, and the five Sector Lord guards swiftly shot into the sky. As they reached high altitude, Luo Feng quickly retrieved the Yunmo Star ship from his internal world, causing it to appear out of thin air beside them. The hatch automatically opened, and the seven of them flew directly inside.

...

Inside the Yunmo Star ship's control room.

Luo Feng, Dilun, and the five Sector Lords stood there, looking down at the Beast God statue through the external view screen.

“We're off.”

“The colossal Beast God statue.” Luo Feng gazed down, his heart filled with emotion.

Compared to his encounter in the Holy City, his experience in the Beast God Canyon was even more wondrous and crucial to his cultivation path!

Observing the Holy Stele and obtaining the 'Yan Shen Thirty-Six Levels' was far less significant than the 'Beast God Intent' he had continuously strengthened and consolidated over these 182 years, after hundreds of millions of imitations! This Beast God Intent, when he first began comprehending it two years in, had only given him the shallowest understanding, with very little effect. At most, it made the Golden Horned Beast's Sky-Rending Claw feel a bit more potent.

But now!

After 182 years, Luo Feng's mastery of the Beast God Intent had achieved 'minor success.' Perhaps compared to the true mysterious laws of the Beast God, it only possessed one-billionth of its power, but at least the 'colossal statue' carved by the Golden Horned Beast now had a very faint trace of oppressive aura.

Yes.

Oppressive aura!

Moreover, the Beast God Intent integrated into the Sky-Rending Claw had elevated the Golden Horned Beast's Sky-Rending Claw to an extremely terrifying level.

“Now, in terms of power, my Beast God Intent slightly surpasses my comprehension of the Law of Gold and the Law of Space,” Luo Feng mused. “Continuing to cultivate, the Beast God Intent will grow stronger and stronger, and this will ultimately become my true ultimate technique.”

He could use it, but he didn't understand its principles.

Luo Feng understood absolutely nothing about the mysterious law fluctuations of the Beast God statue. Not a single bit.

But not understanding didn't prevent him from using it. At least, under the guidance of hundreds of millions of imitations and the small Beast God statues, Luo Feng had grasped the Beast God Intent, which slightly surpassed his laws in terms of power amplification.

Beast God Intent!

Law comprehension!

Myriad Heart Soul Control Secret Art!

These 182 years, Luo Feng had primarily focused on these three aspects.

The Beast God Intent brought Luo Feng the most pleasant surprise.

His progress in law comprehension also delighted Luo Feng; the comprehension speed at the Sector Lord-level was indeed fast, one day here was equivalent to a year at the Domain Lord-level. Thus, 182 years of law comprehension here was comparable to tens of thousands of years at the Domain Lord-level.

As for the Myriad Heart Soul Control Secret Art, his cultivation speed was extremely fast.

The first level was mastered in three days.

The second level was mastered in one year.

The third level was just mastered in the 182nd year. In fact, compared to a normal peak Sector Lord Spirit Reader who would need over a million years to master it, Luo Feng mastering the third level in just over a century was quite extraordinary. His foundation was incredibly solid, but this secret art was complex and profound after all, taking over a hundred years to finally master.

Once the third level was mastered, Luo Feng could no longer hold back and naturally decided... to immediately leave and return to Earth.

...

Standing in the control room, Luo Feng looked down at the Beast God statue below, all those thoughts flashing through his mind in an instant.

“Xiluoduo, thank you for allowing me to possess the Beast God Intent,” Luo Feng murmured. “And thank you, Elder Kebu. If not for you, I would not have come to the Beast God Canyon.”

“Babata, depart.”

Luo Feng gave the command.

“Boom~~~”

The Yunmo Star ship accelerated fiercely, shooting straight up into the sky, continuously ascending above the Lasiao world. Soon, it broke through the cloud layer and flew towards the void outside the Lasiao world...

...

In the Beast God Canyon.

Elder Sifanqi and Kashina both looked up, watching the Yunmo Star ship soar into the sky and disappear into the deepest reaches above.

“He's gone,” Kashina said softly.

“The mission of hosting Luo Feng is successfully completed, Kashina. Let's return to the tribe,” Elder Sifanqi said. Kashina respectfully replied, “Yes, Master.”

Elder Sifanqi waved his hand, and Kashina entered the portable world he carried.

Whoosh!

Teleportation!

Kashina instantly vanished from the Beast God Canyon, appearing simultaneously within the Tawen tribe.

...

Elder Kebu, in his rock-gray Combat Armor, who had been silently waiting for an opportunity on the rock wall, looked up as the Yunmo Star ship disappeared into the depths of the sky. He couldn't help but grit his teeth: “This human Luo Feng is completely insane. He came to the Beast God Canyon, yet he didn't go to the Elder God Palace, nor did he meet or converse with other humans. He just sat there cultivating. Sifanqi and Dilun were like mechanical beings, constantly guarding him, never leaving once. Now, he just finished his comprehension... and immediately left by spaceship. This, this fellow, truly...”

How could Elder Kebu not be enraged?

Among the hundreds of millions of ascetics in the Beast God Canyon, hundreds of them were actually Sector Lords and Domain Lords controlled by Elder Kebu, his pre-arranged pawns.

Several plans had already been set, and Elder Kebu was even prepared for sacrifices.

But he never expected...

Luo Feng arrived, cultivated, and then left immediately after cultivating, without giving any opportunity whatsoever.

“Master, the plan to kill human Luo Feng could not be carried out.” Elder Kebu immediately used a Sector Lord tribesman under his control to send an encrypted intelligence report through the Virtual Universe Network. The intelligence passed through several relays... completely inconspicuous among the endless emails in the Virtual Universe Network.

Finally, it landed in the inbox of a Planetary-level member.

That Planetary-level member, living in a God Kingdom within a spatial interlayer corresponding to a certain starfield in the Savage Universe Nation's territory, quickly reported the news to the higher-ups.
