Yan Ji, Commotion Begins

It was Luo Feng's 189th year on Yan Ji Continent. On the outskirts of Yan Ji Continent, atop a majestic mountain range a million kilometers high, a silver-armored, silver-winged youth lay leisurely on a large rock. A Blood Shadow Battle Blade rested beside him. He muttered, "Yechen King wants to see me about something big? Hope it's not a waste of my time.

Whoosh! A figure appeared out of thin air beside him.

"You're here." The silver-armored, silver-winged youth finally stood up.

"Yang, you're quite relaxed," Yechen King teased. Yechen King wore dark red combat armor, possessed a pair of wings, and had golden eyes.

"Just stealing a moment of leisure, that's all."

Luo Feng's eyes were like lightning, subtly exuding an overbearing aura. As a Black Warrior, possessing a rich Beast God bloodline, constantly maintaining the 'Beast God Transformation,' and with the Shi Wu Wings radiating a certain pressure, how could he not be overbearing?

"Tell me, what's so important that you couldn't say it in the Virtual Universe and had to come all the way here?" Luo Feng looked at Yechen King.

"A big matter, a great matter," Yechen King said solemnly.

"What great matter?" Luo Feng asked with interest.

Over time, Luo Feng had indeed accumulated a large circle of King-level friends, some of whom were on Yan Ji Continent. He primarily befriended them in his Earthling true body form, using the name 'Yang.' Of course, his Golden Horned Beast clone had also made a few friends, like Xinghuan King... but these friends of the Golden Horned Beast clone were all from obscure alien races, only three in total.

His Earthling true body, however, had made many more friends, and among them, Yechen King was the closest!

Yechen King, a branch of the Human Winged Race, was a peak King-level expert capable of teleportation! He was fierce and bloodthirsty, not easily acknowledging others, but once he recognized someone as a friend... he was naturally very generous. Luo Feng only truly became friends with him after a sparring match where his strength earned Yechen King's approval.

In Yechen King's words: "Your instantaneous speed changes are too fast. Although I can teleport, you've already dodged the moment I appear... Fighting you, unless one is skilled in soul attacks, it's very difficult to harm you."

...

"Let's talk inside your cave." Yechen King seemed very cautious.

"So cautious?" Luo Feng smiled, sensing that it truly was a significant matter, and flew with Yechen King into his cave.

Inside the cave. The two sat down opposite each other.

"Yang, you must know some legends about Yan Ji Continent, right?" Yechen King transmitted his voice. "We should communicate solely through voice transmission to prevent any powerful entity's detector, which might be more advanced than ours, from intercepting our conversation. Haha... of course, on Yan Ji Continent, detectors more advanced than yours are quite rare. Still, we must be careful."

"Legends of Yan Ji Continent?" Luo Feng paused. "Are you talking about... the Sacrifice Towers?"

"Yes," Yechen King nodded solemnly.

The Seventh Starfield Battlefield held many mysterious places.

High-level combat zones like Yan Ji Continent and Star Tower all had their legends. For instance, the numerous sacrificial carvings often seen on Yan Ji Continent, which remained uncorrupted even after billions of years, demonstrated an astonishing use of energy, prompting many powerful warriors on the Outer Battlefield to ponder the 'indigenous race of Yan Ji Continent.'

"I've heard some," Luo Feng frowned. "When the Seventh Battlefield was first opened, it's said that powerful experts from the four peak races swept through many regions, establishing the battlefield. The indigenous people of Yan Ji Continent naturally fled in a panic, unable to resist the four peak races because there wasn't enough time. It seems only a portion escaped, while many more were slaughtered."

"On Yan Ji Continent, the most famous are the 'Sacrifice Towers.' Each Sacrifice Tower... was a large survival base. Many treasures of the indigenous people of Yan Ji Continent were placed inside these towers, which they then used to quickly escape."

"However, in their hasty escape, some Sacrifice Towers still didn't manage to get away."

"Some were directly seized by the four peak races back then, while others remained hidden somewhere on Yan Ji Continent. It's rumored that the Sacrifice Towers are mysteriously constructed, undetectable even by Universe Venerables' divine power or by detectors," Luo Feng said. "Historically, over a dozen Sacrifice Towers have been discovered on Yan Ji Continent."

"Are you telling me you've found a Sacrifice Tower?" Luo Feng asked, smiling at him.

Yechen King's expression was solemn as he nodded.

"Damn it." Luo Feng suddenly stood up, staring at Yechen King. "You're not kidding me? Such a good thing just falls into my lap?"

"I'm not kidding," Yechen King said solemnly.

"What's going on?" Luo Feng looked at Yechen King, frowning with a smile. "It's true we're good friends, but this Sacrifice Tower... it's a survival base for the indigenous people of Yan Ji Continent when they fled, containing a vast amount of treasures. These are the treasures of an entire race! Even if each tower only holds a small portion, it's still incredibly valuable for us King-level experts. There's no reason to just give away such boundless wealth and treasures."

Every place has its stories.

Like the Fragmented Star Belt back then, this Yan Ji Continent, and the Star Tower.

They all have stories.

The 'Sacrifice Towers' of Yan Ji Continent are famous, and the 'Star Tower,' one of the few peak combat zones in the Seventh Battlefield, contains treasures that drive King-level experts mad. Of course, such treasures only appear once every many, many years. But the probability is at least much higher than finding a 'Sacrifice Tower.'

"You're right, friends wouldn't just hand over such wealth," Yechen King smiled. "I invited you because I value your flying, dodging, and escape abilities, Yang. If space is sealed at a critical moment, we'll rely on your flying ability to escape. I've sparred with you so many times, and your flying ability... it's truly formidable."

"Haha..." Luo Feng chuckled.

"Let me tell you the details," Yechen King said solemnly. "I was fighting an alien King-level enemy. He was hiding deep underground. Although his strength was slightly weaker than mine, he was still a high-level King. During our battle... we used every means available. The ground collapsed, space shattered, and my alien enemy was severely wounded. While fighting me, he fled haphazardly and unintentionally discovered a Sacrifice Tower deep underground!"

The Sacrifice Tower is mysterious and unfathomable; even Universe Venerables cannot destroy or explore it. It was a survival base for the indigenous people of Yan Ji Continent during their escape, so my opponent and I naturally couldn't force it into a World Ring.

"However, on some indigenous corpses near the entrance of the Sacrifice Tower, both my alien opponent and I found 'tokens' for entering the tower. We immediately fought over them. He had a slight geographical advantage, having reached the tower first. Although I was stronger, I only managed to get half of the tokens."

"There were six tokens in total."

"I snatched three, and he snatched three."

"According to the items found on those corpses, there was an order issued by the indigenous people of Yan Ji Continent during their escape: only those carrying tokens could enter the Sacrifice Tower. The tribal treasures within the tower could only be unlocked if six token holders entered simultaneously from six different directions."

Yechen King shook his head helplessly. "My alien opponent and I both have tokens and can safely enter the Sacrifice Tower... but we can only move around in the living quarters of the tower. The treasure vault, however, is heavily guarded by various systems. Six beings must enter from six different directions simultaneously to open the treasure door..."

"Yechen King, these six beings might have to be indigenous people," Luo Feng frowned. "The Sacrifice Tower was surely designed to ensure the indigenous people received the treasures, not us aliens. Even with six tokens, we might not be able to get them."

"I understand what you mean, of course," Yechen King quickly said. "But... haven't other powerful individuals obtained Sacrifice Towers in history?"

"In any case, the treasures of that indigenous race of Yan Ji Continent, even if it's just from one Sacrifice Tower, should be comparable to a Universe Venerable's fortune. And after countless years, some internal defenses have probably aged and broken down," Yechen King continued. "Taking this risk for such treasures, I'm definitely going for it. Yang, are you in?"

"No risk, no reward," Luo Feng smiled. "I'm in!"

Luo Feng believed he had many life-saving abilities, and since powerful individuals had obtained Sacrifice Tower treasures in history, why couldn't he?

"Come, let's go invite Huci King," Yechen King said.

"Huci King?" Luo Feng raised an eyebrow. "Let's go."

Whoosh! Yechen King teleported directly, carrying Luo Feng.

In another distant part of Yan Ji Continent, Huci King and his squad were stationed in a cave within a mountain. Living in mountain caves or underground caves were the two most common options.

Inside one of the grand halls.

Luo Feng, Yechen King, and Huci King were all present. Although Huci King was not human, he belonged to the human faction and had a good relationship with Luo Feng and Yechen King.

"Yang, Yechen King, you two came to me?" Huci King transmitted his voice. "And we have to communicate via voice transmission, and you've forbidden my other subordinates from approaching. This must be a big deal."

"It's a great matter," Yechen King began to recount the entire story again, enticing Huci King with the matter of the Sacrifice Tower.

"I'm in!" Huci King slammed the table. "How can I not seize such an opportunity? Even venturing into extremely dangerous cosmic secret realms, repeatedly risking life and death, might not yield treasures of this caliber."

"Good," Yechen King said, visibly excited. "I specialize in teleportation, Huci King, you specialize in spatial sealing and strong attacks, and Yang specializes in flying... With the three of us working together, and all three of us having auxiliary plant life... we will surely obtain the treasure."

"How about we distribute the treasure in a 2-1-1 ratio?" Yechen King looked at the two. "We three will work together to seize the internal treasures, I get 2, and you two each get 1."

Huci King and Luo Feng exchanged glances.

Then both nodded at Yechen King: "Agreed."

"Excellent," Yechen King also smiled.

He also knew that the two he invited were both extraordinary. Huci King's strength was comparable to his own. As for 'Yang,' his flying ability was truly unique. And both Huci King and Yang, in his judgment, had hidden trump cards. Especially Yang... every time he saw Yang flying with his wings vibrating, he felt a sense of awe. If this flying technique was created by Yang, it represented Yang's heaven-defying talent, indicating he was certainly a key talent nurtured by his race. If it was taught by Yang's teacher, it implied a terrifying backing.
