Star Chart

“I understand, Master,” Luo Feng said respectfully.

“You cannot truly use the Star Tower and the Combat Armor right now. The Combat Armor is a complete set and cannot be disassembled. However, the Star Tower contains countless treasures… some of which can be taken out. Based on the treasures within the Star Tower, I specifically refined another heavy treasure to assist you.” The elder, as majestic as a mountain, flipped his hand.

Whoosh—

A gigantic scroll appeared out of thin air above the pleasure boat, completely enveloping it. The pleasure boat, over ten kilometers long, seemed like a tiny speck, dwarfed by the scroll.

A vast, heart-trembling aura spread out.

The aura of this scroll was far more powerful than that of the Sealing Stars.

“This scroll is a heavy treasure. It can integrate individual Sealing Stars… When combined, the two can form a special treasure—the Star Chart, which barely crosses the threshold of a ‘supreme treasure’.” The majestic elder looked down at Luo Feng. “Once you bind this scroll, you will understand its mysteries.”

The scroll rapidly shrunk and landed before Luo Feng.

Luo Feng reached out and took it. A trace of world energy permeated it, and his mental imprint naturally branded it, establishing a mental connection. At the same time, a vast stream of information surged from the Star Chart into Luo Feng’s consciousness.

“So that’s how it is. What a terrifying Star Chart,” Luo Feng exclaimed in shock.

The scroll itself was considered a heavy treasure.

The Sealing Stars were also heavy treasures.

However, the scroll could integrate a massive number of Sealing Stars. According to the incoming information, it could hold up to 100,000 Sealing Stars! Each Sealing Star was a heavy treasure… Once 100,000 Sealing Stars merged with this scroll to form the Star Chart, it would definitely be considered a supreme treasure.

With the Star Chart, Luo Feng could engrave the law secret patterns of certain attack secret techniques he had comprehended, which would naturally be imprinted on the Sealing Stars.

Once an attack was launched, each star would communicate with the laws, unleashing infinite power.

“I was a bit lazy,” the majestic elder chuckled, his voice reverberating through the endless void. “I only refined the scroll; the Sealing Stars are from within the Star Tower.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Luo Feng said, filled with gratitude and respect.

“This Star Chart can hold a maximum of 100,000 Sealing Stars. Although there are many ‘Sealing Stars’ within the Star Tower, almost all of them are crucial components of the Star Tower itself and cannot be removed. Only a very small number, perhaps over ten thousand Sealing Stars, have no specific purpose. These can be taken out,” the majestic elder explained.

“I understand, Master.” Luo Feng nodded. After the Star Tower recognized him as its master, Luo Feng had learned a lot of information.

“Actually…”

The majestic elder sighed with emotion, his voice creating spatial ripples in the endless void. “The original plan for refining the Sealing Stars didn’t include ‘sealing’ capabilities. They were primarily for attack… whether controlling countless stars to attack external enemies or controlling countless stars to attack enemies trapped within the tower, both were methods. It was only later that a special change occurred, and these individual stars gained the ability to seal, which was beyond my imagination.”

“Controlling the stars, engraving law secret patterns upon them, and being able to erase and re-engrave them at any time.”

“Before the Star Tower can be fully activated, controlling the stars for attack is a major method,” the majestic elder mused. “If one could fully activate the entire Star Tower… a single smash of the entire Star Tower, or if the entire Star Tower were like a dagger, its tip directly thrusting. That smash! That thrust! These would be the Star Tower’s most powerful attack methods… Even at its weakest, it could easily annihilate a Universe Venerable. If its power were fully unleashed, it would be enough to make anyone in the vast universe fearless.”

Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask, “Master, may I ask when I will be able to fully activate the Star Tower?”

“Haha…”

“Do you see that energy vortex?” the majestic elder asked.

“I see it. That Nine-Swirl Nebula possesses infinite power. The vortex alone, even a slight delve into it, could annihilate a Universe Venerable,” Luo Feng replied.

“That Nine-Swirl Nebula is the Star Tower, having restored its original size, actively absorbing energy from the universe to sustain itself,” the majestic elder said. “The Star Tower is nine light-years tall and contains infinite power, leaving even the super-experts of the universe helpless. Maintaining such immense power consumes an incredibly terrifying amount of energy.”

“It constantly devours energy, capable of easily annihilating Universe Venerables. If you were to shrink it and take it into your body, when would you be able to supply such immense energy?” the majestic elder asked.

Luo Feng was dumbfounded.

How much energy would that require? The energy vortex alone could annihilate Universe Venerables.

“Don’t worry, that’s its extreme power state. You only need to unleash its minimum power, and the energy consumption will be much less,” the majestic elder said. “Even so, it far exceeds the requirements of the Combat Armor! Regarding the Star Tower, I have only one request for you.”

“Please tell me, Master,” Luo Feng quickly said.

“Until you can fully activate the Star Tower, it will remain here,” the majestic elder stated solemnly.

“Remain here?” Luo Feng instantly understood a little.

“The Star Tower has long attracted the attention of the super-experts in the universe. Even beings whose strength rivals mine covet the Star Tower… After all, it is one of the strongest supreme treasures. The Star Tower has been watched in the Outer Territory Battlefield for a long time. If it were to suddenly disappear, it would definitely cause a massive storm.”

“All of you soldiers in the Star Tower on the Outer Territory Battlefield, soldiers from the four factions, hundreds of thousands of King-level Immortals, including you, not a single one would escape!” the majestic elder declared.

Luo Feng listened, dumbfounded.

Hundreds of thousands of Immortals, including himself, not a single one would escape.

Indeed.

Such a supreme treasure would attract the most terrifying beings in the universe. With their methods, who could escape? Even the Universe Masters of the human race would likely not easily let Luo Feng and the others go. Given Luo Feng’s status… obtaining a supreme treasure like the ‘Slaying Wu Wings,’ which offers little help to Universe Masters, was acceptable.

But a supreme treasure like the ‘Star Tower,’ one that even the strongest covet, one of the strongest supreme treasures, was definitely not something Luo Feng was qualified to possess.

Giant Axe Creator, Chaos City Lord…

Each of them, considering the human race.

They would also take it from Luo Feng and give it to a powerful Universe Master within the human race. It was even possible that the Giant Axe Creator himself might use it.

“Unless you possess strength equal to theirs, do not touch the Star Tower,” the majestic elder stated solemnly. “If you can truly activate the Star Tower, you will almost have the strength to converse with them as equals. Coupled with the human race backing you, you would then be one of the highest echelons of the human race. No one would seize your treasure, and you would naturally be qualified to possess the Star Tower.”

Luo Feng nodded.

A hot potato indeed.

“You currently possess three supreme treasures,” the majestic elder said. “The first, when I first saw you, your aura was completely concealed, making you appear like an Immortal. Anything capable of concealing an aura must be a supreme treasure. I estimate your Chaos City Lord Master gave it to you. What he gives you would certainly be a supreme treasure of little use to Universe Masters, but enough to drive Universe Venerables mad.”

Luo Feng blinked.

He guessed truly accurately.

“The second is the Tower Pearl. That is, the crystal pearl fused with your soul. The Tower Pearl… is the control core of the ‘sealing space’ within the Star Tower. And sealing is one of the Star Tower’s most primary functions. The so-called attacks like ‘smashing’ and ‘thrusting’ are secondary, and the so-called defense of ‘hiding inside the Star Tower’ is also secondary. Sealing super-experts… that is its most important ability.”

“The Tower Pearl itself can also barely be considered a supreme treasure.”

“With the Tower Pearl fused into your soul, you should know how to use it to protect your soul.”

Luo Feng nodded as he listened. The process of fusing with the Tower Pearl was incredibly painful, but after fusion, it was incredibly miraculous.

“The third is the Star Chart. When numerous Sealing Stars combine with the Star Chart, their power skyrockets, making it a low-grade supreme treasure. With your current strength, you cannot simultaneously use too many Sealing Stars. Even with a General Soul, I estimate you’d be doing well to use 10 Sealing Stars.”

“Three supreme treasures.”

“All of them have never appeared in the universe,” the majestic elder said. “Since they’ve never appeared, other experts won’t recognize them. As long as you don’t unleash the supreme treasures’ power to their absolute limit, other experts won’t be able to guess that you possess supreme treasures.”

Luo Feng nodded.

The Slaying Wu Wings had never appeared.

The Star Chart, which he would only fuse with the Sealing Stars later, was also a newly forged supreme treasure.

The Tower Pearl was one of the Star Tower’s cores; no one had ever successfully fused with it, and even fewer knew about it.

These three supreme treasures… all belonged to the category that barely crossed the boundary of heavy treasures into the ‘supreme treasure’ ranks. They were treasures that Universe Masters didn’t care much about, but Universe Venerables frantically pursued.

“Don’t get complacent. These three low-grade supreme treasures combined aren’t even a fraction of the Star Tower’s worth, and they’re far inferior to the Combat Armor,” the majestic elder said.

“I will certainly strive to use the Combat Armor and the Star Tower as soon as possible,” Luo Feng replied.

“Mm.” Only then did the majestic elder nod.

…

Luo Feng and Puti listened to their Master’s teachings on the pleasure boat, and at the same time, began returning to the grand hall.

Their return was faster, and they were back in the grand hall moments later.

“Master, I only have two fragments of the ‘Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.’ Where are the other parts?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask.

“The ‘Nine Tribulations Secret Manual’ can continuously elevate your genetic level, even allowing you to rival some powerful and unique cosmic life forms,” the majestic elder said, looking down at Luo Feng. “However, if your genetic level skyrockets too absurdly, it will certainly attract the attention of many experts. The higher your strength, the more qualified you are to possess special treasures.”

“There are a total of five fragments of the ‘Nine Tribulations Secret Manual’s’ Heavenly Soul Crystal Plate.”

“You have already obtained two fragments. The other three have been placed by me in dangerous locations across the universe. You can obtain one more during your Sector Lord stage, another during your Immortal stage, and after becoming a Universe Venerable… you can obtain the final one.” The majestic elder looked down at Luo Feng. “The three dangerous locations become progressively more perilous.”

“When you become a Universe Venerable, obtain the final fragment, and thus the complete ‘Nine Tribulations Secret Manual’… I estimate you’ll be very close to fully activating the Star Tower.”

“Here are the cosmic coordinates for the three metal plates, each with a simple description of the dangerous location.”

The majestic elder pointed towards Luo Feng from afar, and a point of light flew towards Luo Feng, directly entering his mind. A surge of information poured in, and Luo Feng understood everything.

“Disciple, don’t die in these three dangerous locations,” the majestic elder said.

“Yes, Master.”

Luo Feng understood clearly.

“The matter is concluded. What I have prepared for you is sufficient: three supreme treasures bound to you, Combat Armor and General Soul protecting your body… From now on, everything depends on yourself. I will not help you in the slightest from now on,” the majestic elder said. “I look forward to… the day you can fully activate the complete Star Tower.”

Immediately, space vibrated slightly.

The majestic elder had already vanished.

…

Only Luo Feng and Puti remained in the grand hall.

“Senior Brother, I’m ashamed to say, I still don’t know Master’s name,” Luo Feng quickly said, having not dared to ask before.

“Haha…”

Puti, seated in the grand hall, chuckled, “No one knows Master’s true name. But because Master often sits cross-legged on mountain peaks, traversing the endless universe, the super-beings in the vast universe gave Master a codename: ‘Sitting Mountain Guest’.”

“Your Second Senior Brother, whose real name is Cao Benqi, is known as the ‘Blaze Emperor’ by the super-experts of the universe.”

“One of the universe’s strongest, ‘Sitting Mountain Guest,’ and ‘Blaze Emperor’?” Luo Feng silently noted.

“The Earth lineage finally has a leader. With this matter concluded, I feel much more at ease, Third Junior Brother… I’ll be taking my leave now.” Puti smiled slightly, and the surrounding space vibrated. He too vanished into thin air.

Inside the grand hall.

Only Luo Feng remained, chuckling softly, “My Master, ‘Sitting Mountain Guest,’ one of the universe’s strongest, is certainly lenient in teaching disciples. From now until I can fully activate the Star Tower, he’s not going to bother with anything.”
