Great Opportunity

Sweeping up everything left behind by the Black-Armored Youth, Black-Clad Luo Feng completely retrieved all the items, scattering them across the vast grassland. The sheer volume of items covered an area spanning tens of thousands of kilometers. Though numerous, only a few were truly precious. One item, in particular, instantly captivated Black-Clad Luo Feng's gaze. 'A 29-centimeter section of Millennial Light?' Black-Clad Luo Feng looked down at a laser-like substance. This 29-centimeter 'light' lay on the grass, and if one stared closely at it, they would feel the surrounding time distorting, involuntarily becoming immersed within it. Millennial Light, a peculiar substance, is a precious material used to craft time-type weapons. Such materials occasionally form within 'black hole cores' or can be found in some unique cosmic secret realms. Its value is immeasurable. 'This 29-centimeter section of Millennial Light, even if I were to buy it, would cost at least 3 billion points to exchange from the treasure vault,' Black-Clad Luo Feng muttered. 'How did this Na'shi race expert possess such a treasure material?' 'Azure Light White Dew Wood, 32 kilometers long, with a cross-section diameter ranging from 2.1 to 8.2 meters, varying in thickness.' 'Nine Pure Light Sand, 360 grains.' ... Black-Clad Luo Feng quickly identified the items, growing more delighted with each discovery. 'It seems this Na'shi race youth accumulated so many materials, he must have intended to refine an incredibly powerful time-type law weapon,' Luo Feng mused. 'That black segmented whip was made of decent materials, capable of expanding and contracting, and it also contained time law secret patterns, but its estimated value is only between 100 million and 200 million points. It's nowhere near these... these materials alone cost approximately 8 billion points. This is the price I'd pay; the Na'shi race youth probably paid even more. If the weapon were successfully crafted, its power would be immense.' After sifting through all the items, Black-Clad Luo Feng smiled. Excellent. The efficiency of accumulating military merits, wealth, and treasures pales in comparison to killing individuals with powerful backgrounds. A single kill can yield a massive haul of treasures. Of course... the stronger the background, the harder the kill. Killing the Black-Armored Youth... was not as difficult as killing Zvika of the Mechanical Race. And compared to killing Luo Feng, killing Zvika was much easier. The Black-Armored Youth, Zvika, Luo Feng. All possess backgrounds, and their backgrounds grow increasingly formidable. If Luo Feng were successfully killed... the Wu God Wings, Beast God Weapon, Locke Divine Water, black metal plate, and General Armor—that would truly be a fortune. Although they have backgrounds—the Universe Venerables behind the Black-Armored Youth and Zvika wouldn't dare to trespass into the Outer Territory Battlefield. As for Luo Feng's teacher, Chaos City Lord, he himself once said... he didn't wish to see the day Luo Feng needed his rescue. After all, for Chaos City Lord to trespass into the Outer Territory Battlefield, even with his status, he could do it. But it would be somewhat beneath his dignity. Unless pushed to the very last moment, Chaos City Lord wouldn't want to do that. ... 'Hmm.' 'A good haul,' Black-Clad Luo Feng nodded. Beside him, the Golden Horn Beast, overlooking the dense, endless array of items below, was suddenly vaguely drawn to a seemingly ordinary crystal. The Golden Horn Beast abruptly lowered its head... its dark golden eyes fixed on one particular transparent, multi-faceted spherical crystal among the chaotic pile, which appeared quite common. Whoosh! Black-Clad Luo Feng also flew over, staring intently. The multi-faceted spherical crystal, about the size of a football, lay on the ground, looking utterly unremarkable. 'Whoosh.' A trace of World Energy swept over the crystal's surface for inspection, then directly penetrated its interior for study. 'Buzz!' As the World Energy permeated its interior, the crystal suddenly lit up. Splash! Multi-colored light, like an iridescent sun, radiated outwards from the multi-faceted sphere, instantly enveloping an entire world. Under the shroud of this boundless, multi-colored light, Black-Clad Luo Feng and the Golden Horn Beast clone both felt the distortion and chaos of time. 'My heavens,' Black-Clad Luo Feng's eyes widened. 'Woo,' the Golden Horn Beast let out a low growl, its dark golden eyes similarly wide. Both clones stared at the crystal that had just moments ago been ordinary, but now radiated dazzling, world-enveloping multi-colored light. That mysterious and powerful aura... and the strange sensation of time distortion... made Luo Feng instantly realize! 'A supreme treasure!' 'I've stumbled upon a supreme treasure!' 'Damn, this is the Black-Armored Youth's true supreme treasure! I've always wondered... how could he, with his initial-tier King-level strength, use 'Time Stop'? This move is supposedly even harder than teleportation. It must, it must be this supreme treasure,' Luo Feng muttered, his eyes glued to the incredibly dazzling crystal. Actually, when the Na'shi race youth first used Time Stop, Luo Feng had merely assumed it was a combination of his innate ability and law comprehension. But now, seeing this mysterious crystal sphere... Luo Feng instantly concluded that it was, more likely than not, due to this crystal sphere. Luo Feng had seen many treasures, but one with such a vast aura was rare. 'Hiss, hiss, hiss~~~' Dense, mysterious characters began to appear on the crystal. The strokes of these peculiar characters resembled law secret patterns. Although Luo Feng didn't understand the characters themselves, he instantly grasped their meaning. 'These characters!' Luo Feng's eyes widened. 'The Demonic Sound General Inheritance! These are the same characters I saw during the Demonic Sound General Inheritance!' Yes. Luo Feng had only seen these mysterious characters once before: when he received the 'Demonic Sound General Inheritance' on Demonic Sound Mountain years ago, the characters that appeared in the inheritance palace were precisely these mysterious characters. He didn't recognize them, yet they allowed him to easily understand their meaning, which was truly wondrous. The content was simple, roughly stating... 'This is the Dreamlight Emissary's Inheritance Crystal. Any Sector Lord-level lifeform with a soul can receive the complete Dreamlight Emissary Inheritance.' 'Upon receiving the inheritance, one can begin cultivating the 'Dreamlight Emissary Secret Art'.' 'Those who cultivate the entire secret art to perfect mastery will become an Emissary Candidate. An Emissary Candidate can then merge this Inheritance Crystal into their body. If successful... they will become the new 'Dreamlight Emissary'.' 'In the vast cosmos, there is only one Dreamlight Emissary.' 'If the current Dreamlight Emissary is in power, other inheritors who achieve mastery can only become 'Dreamlight Emissary Candidates'. Only when the current Dreamlight Emissary falls will a new 'Dreamlight Emissary' emerge from among the candidates.' 'The Inheritance Crystal can be passed on once every 10081 epochs. The last inheritance from this crystal occurred 82 epochs ago. Approximately 9999 more epochs are needed... before the next inheritance can take place.' ... Black-Clad Luo Feng blinked after reading. He now understood that the 'Dreamlight Emissary' inheritance... seemed to have more than one individual who could achieve mastery. Clearly, the cultivation difficulty was far lower than the 'Demonic Sound General Inheritance'. The Demonic Sound General Inheritance had stated that throughout countless ages, not a single person had been able to receive the complete Demonic Sound General Inheritance. Moreover, the method of inheritance also seemed different. The Demonic Sound General Inheritance was a step-by-step process; reaching the end of the steps... signified perfect mastery! The Dreamlight Emissary Inheritance, however, involved first obtaining a complete set of secret arts, then cultivating them. Achieving mastery made one an 'Emissary Candidate', and only after the current Dreamlight Emissary fell could one succeed to the position. 'I have to wait another 9999 epochs for the next inheritance?' 'Damn.' '100 million years?' Luo Feng let out a wry laugh. 'It seems the last inheritance from this crystal was obtained by that Na'shi race youth. He must have acquired this mysterious inheritance secret art, which is why he could be so heaven-defying and use the 'Time Stop' technique.' 'What should I do with this Inheritance Crystal?' Luo Feng pondered. It was a treasure, but he couldn't use it at all. He could guess that it was related to the Law of Time, but his path was the Beast God Path, a true grand path leading to a Universe Master, primarily focused on 'Space and Metal'. He certainly wouldn't waste time researching the 'Law of Time'. Specialization was key; time should be spent on his strengths. But even if he couldn't use it... That didn't diminish its preciousness in the slightest. This was an Inheritance Crystal, capable of being passed on once every 10081 epochs. Its value was indeed hard to quantify. 'I can't use it either.' 'Keeping it would be a waste, and even if someone wanted to use it, they'd have to wait 9999 epochs.' Luo Feng shook his head. 'Perhaps only those ancient, long-lived powerhouses would have the patience to wait.' 'Hmm, I need to ask my teacher how to handle this treasure.' Luo Feng instantly made his decision. ... Luo Feng had never even seen the Dreamlight Emissary's Inheritance Crystal in the treasure vault, clearly indicating it was an extremely rare item. For such a treasure... consulting Chaos City Lord was the most reliable way to find a proper solution. 'Teacher Zhenyan King cultivates the Law of Space and is currently stuck at the final step, aspiring to become a Universe Venerable. This treasure would also be useless to Teacher Zhenyan King.' Luo Feng was very grateful to Zhenyan King. If he could help his teacher, he wouldn't hesitate, but... Zhenyan King was stuck at the final step, and many precious treasures were useless to him. The truly useful treasures were beyond Luo Feng's ability to provide. ... In the Virtual Universe, at the highest peak of Thunder Island, deep within the endless chaotic currents, stood a palace—the palace of Chaos City Lord. Swish. Luo Feng appeared out of thin air at the palace entrance, then stepped inside, walking deeper into the hall. 'Teacher,' Luo Feng respectfully saluted, standing in the grand hall. 'What do you need me for?' A calm voice emerged from deep within the chaotic currents. 'Disciple recently obtained a treasure by chance in the Outer Territory Battlefield,' Luo Feng respectfully reported. 'This treasure... disciple has never seen before. However, upon inspecting it, mysterious characters automatically appeared on the crystal. Disciple then understood it to be the 'Dreamlight Emissary Inheritance Crystal'.' 'An Emissary Inheritance Crystal?' Chaos City Lord emerged from the depths of the endless currents. Though he displayed no aura, the sheer, true superiority of his life-level involuntarily made Luo Feng feel a sense of submission. Chaos City Lord's expression was amiable, his eyes as profound as the starry sky, and then a faint smile appeared: 'That you could obtain an Emissary Inheritance Crystal, your luck is quite good. Among the Hong Alliance's Emissary Inheritance Crystals, we've only collected over 8000 in total. As for the Dreamlight Emissary Inheritance Crystal, the Hong Alliance possesses only one, making it extremely rare.' 'Uh—' Luo Feng blinked. 'Don't be surprised.' Chaos City Lord said, 'You once went to receive the Demonic Sound General Inheritance; there were 32 such inheritance halls. So, what's so strange about there being dozens or even a hundred Dreamlight Emissary Inheritance Crystals?'
