Easily Acquired

The desire of those powerful beings in the Ice Prison, including the five great overlords, to connect with the outside world was imaginable. “We’ll know in three days.” Luo Feng stopped pondering and instead reflected on his recent battle outside. “The power of the supreme treasure is indeed formidable. The secret technique I created to adapt to it caused its power to surge, allowing me to overpower the Galloping Thunder King.” Luo Feng mused, a supreme treasure truly capable of allowing the weak to overcome the strong. “Of course, against someone as powerful as Yinmou, I’d be utterly helpless. Even if Extreme Rainbow King burned his divine body, relying on the precious treasure Zizhong, and then the Feimo poison… the threat to him would still be minuscule.” “The main reason was… he didn’t possess a single defensive precious treasure, which allowed my thrown stars to injure him.” Luo Feng thought to himself. “Pitiable. If he were in the outside world, how could a King-level Undefeatable expert not even have a defensive precious treasure?” Precious treasures were rare in the Ice Prison. Among the over 12,000 King-level experts and those with special abilities imprisoned there, a few had indeed acquired precious treasures through serendipity. After countless ages, these precious treasures had almost all concentrated in the hands of the Ice Prison’s top-tier powerhouses. Even so, these so-called King-level Undefeatable and near King-level Undefeatable experts possessed far fewer precious treasures than those outside. Take the human Seven Swords King, for instance. He possessed a set of seven sword precious treasures, a defensive precious treasure, an escape precious treasure, and even that golden pool… among many other precious treasures! In terms of raw power, Galloping Thunder King, White Bone King, and others might be comparable to Seven Swords King or Ti King. But in a true life-or-death battle, highly nurtured talents like Seven Swords King and Lifefall King within their respective races were enough to drive these Ice Prison inmates to despair. “Strength is important, and treasures are important too.” “Even becoming a Universe Master, it’s the same.” Luo Feng mused. “Treasures… my teacher, Seated Mountain Guest, has provided many. As for strength, I must cultivate it myself.” Three days later. At the summit of that ice mountain in the Northern Ice Prison. “Master.” Extreme Rainbow King stood at the foot of the mountain, respectfully addressing the metal figure beside him. “You stay here. If anything goes wrong, flee immediately,” the metal figure commanded. “Yes, Master,” Extreme Rainbow King replied. The metal figure then leisurely began to climb the mountain. This metal figure… was Luo Feng. Of course, Luo Feng was employing a method similar to that of the Demon Race. Demon Race powerhouses, when venturing through the cosmos, especially when traveling by spaceship, found their massive true forms unsuitable. Thus, their main bodies were hidden within spatial rings, with a wisp of consciousness controlling a puppet body to handle various matters. Luo Feng had split a wisp of his consciousness to inhabit this puppet body. Even if Yinmou, in a fit of rage, destroyed this puppet body, it would have no impact on Luo Feng. “It’s been a long time since I climbed a mountain.” “Under the restrictive pressure of the Ice Prison, climbing is actually a bit strenuous,” the metal figure slowly ascended. Suddenly, a black-armored figure appeared out of thin air beside him—it was the black-armored attendant. “You’ve arrived,” the metal figure spoke, but the voice was entirely Luo Feng’s. Before coming, Luo Feng had adjusted the puppet body’s vocalizer. “It’s you?” the black-armored attendant exclaimed in fury. “I didn’t expect you to come yourself. My master thought you’d send an attendant, so he sent me to fetch you,” the black-armored attendant said, annoyed. “Isn’t it better that I came myself?” Luo Feng said. “Let’s go.” The black-armored attendant, taking Luo Feng’s puppet body, vanished into thin air. When they reappeared, they were already inside the majestic palace hall. Luo Feng looked up, and through the puppet body’s visual system, he could see the towering divine being, Yinmou. The first time Luo Feng saw Yinmou, he was treated as an equal, able to observe him directly. But now, Luo Feng felt the puppet body itself was being oppressed, and the scene within its visual system became blurred. “Yinmou, retract your pressure! My puppet body can’t withstand it. If you break my puppet body, I won’t be able to trade with you,” Luo Feng quickly shouted. “You human.” Yinmou deliberately retracted his pressure. With his power, a mere breath could probably shatter a planet, so he consciously controlled himself to avoid affecting the ‘fragile’ puppet body. “Haha, Yinmou, you’ve retracted your pressure. It seems you’re ready to proceed with this trade,” Luo Feng said. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll just seize the sensor directly?” Yinmou asked. “Seize it directly? Ha… Is it because you’re a special lifeform who has never experienced technology, or have you been in the Ice Prison for so long that you’re unfamiliar with the outside world? My Virtual Universe anonymous accounts, especially permanent ones like this, are extremely strictly controlled. Of course, I can easily apply for many, but few are brought into the Ice Prison. I’m giving you one now, but I can also apply to revoke your access, preventing you from connecting to the Virtual Universe again,” Luo Feng said. “If I trade with you, and you revoke my access in the future, what then?” Yinmou asked. “Don’t worry, I wouldn’t do something so thankless and provoke a powerful enemy,” Luo Feng said. “You also have to trust my reputation. You should know that with my strength, I hold a considerable position within the human race. I wouldn’t abandon my reputation just for an account sensor.” “Alright.” “However, exchanging one precious treasure for one anonymous account sensor is too much,” Yinmou said. “I want to exchange for three sensors.” “I only have two sensors in total, and I’m saving the other for other business,” Luo Feng quickly said. “One, just one. Anyway, Yinmou, as long as you can use it, isn’t that enough? Why do you need so many? If a friend wants to use it, you can temporarily lend it to them.” Yinmou was naturally cold and taciturn. He was indeed inferior to humans in negotiation. If not for the importance of both the precious treasure and the anonymous account sensor, he wouldn’t have bothered to argue. “Two,” Yinmou said. “One, just one. No room for negotiation,” Luo Feng said. “Yinmou, even if you get two, it’s useless, isn’t it? Do you intend to resell one? Haha… If I knew you resold it, I could completely revoke the access for one of the sensors. After all, I’m only trading with you, and only you are permitted to have this access.” “Fine, just one,” Yinmou conceded. His negotiation skills were indeed very weak. “Truly greedy.” “Truly cunning,” Yinmou, seated high on his throne, couldn’t help but say. “Cunning.” “Too cunning, those despicable humans,” the two attendants beside him muttered. That was a precious treasure! Every precious treasure in the Ice Prison was hard-won. Although the Ten Great King-level experts also possessed them, those ten were all incredibly shrewd and would hide far away if they spotted the five great overlords. Though their strength was inferior to the five overlords, if they truly tried to escape, even the overlords would find it difficult to catch them. “Here’s the sensor.” Luo Feng flipped his hand and tossed out an arm-mounted optical computer, throwing it towards Yinmou on the throne. But as soon as it left his hand, it plummeted rapidly. Yinmou was startled. His divine power immediately enveloped the arm-mounted optical computer. “Be careful,” Yinmou couldn’t help but say. “The Ice Prison’s restrictive pressure is too strong,” Luo Feng chuckled. “And my puppet body is too weak. Alright, you have the sensor, where’s the precious treasure?” “I’ll try it first.” Yinmou tried it, quickly binding it to himself, then connected his consciousness to the arm-mounted optical computer and began to enter the Virtual Universe. The metal figure, Luo Feng, standing below the main hall, said, “I’ve already activated eighty thousand virtual game users for this anonymous account for you, in case you don’t know how to use it. Also… the optical computer’s scanning function has been disabled. Don’t enable it. Once enabled, if it scans your true form, you’ll appear in the Virtual Universe exactly as you are in reality. If you don’t enable it, this is one of the human template bodies. Of course, you can transform your divine body, shrink it, become human-like, and then enable the scanning function.” “Interesting,” Yinmou actually smiled. “Your human virtual games are truly interesting,” Yinmou said, looking down at Luo Feng and laughing heartily. “Endless solitude in the Ice Prison, but being able to enter the Virtual Universe, I no longer fear it, haha…” Luo Feng smiled. “Here’s the precious treasure.” Yinmou waved his hand and tossed out a precious treasure—a completely emerald green axe, about three meters tall. Yinmou still couldn’t help but say, “You truly are too greedy.” “Haha, a pleasant transaction,” Luo Feng chuckled. “Yinmou… you should be happy, because I’m about to enter secluded cultivation. With my concealment methods, it will probably be very difficult for other powerhouses in the Ice Prison to find me. When I emerge next, who knows if it will be a few hundred years or even longer. Even if the other four great overlords want to trade with me, they’ll have to wait until I come out of seclusion.” “Go on, don’t gloat here,” Yinmou said. “Escort the human away.” “Yes, Master.” The black-armored attendant, taking Luo Feng, teleported away. Yinmou glanced into the distance, then a smile appeared on his face. He had obtained two precious treasures in the Ice Prison, but he only used one of them; the other had never been used. Even the one he valued, its current power output was only average, because with his combat methods… relying on his innate ultimate techniques, their power surpassed that of using precious treasures. “The Virtual Universe, those virtual games… so many lifeforms, truly lively! A single virtual game actually has trillions of lifeforms playing,” Yinmou split off another wisp of consciousness to continue playing the game. Having been lonely for too long, he needed a little adjustment. This Virtual Universe account… for Yinmou, was indeed more useful than a precious treasure. In a deep cave within the snowy depths of the Eastern Ice Prison. “Ha, I just had a flash of inspiration and sent a voice transmission then. I didn’t expect to actually get a precious treasure! This is a precious treasure! I massacred and hunted extensively in the Star Tower, but apart from obtaining the ‘Ice Soul Silk Net’ precious treasure, all my other wealth combined wasn’t even worth one precious treasure.” Luo Feng held the emerald green axe, a precious treasure. The axe was incredibly thin, as if carved from ice jade. Just looking at the axe blade, Luo Feng could feel its terrifying power. “Haha.” Luo Feng flipped his hand, put it away, and then connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe. In Luo Feng’s exclusive training ground. Standing in the starry sky, Luo Feng mused, “My strength indeed still has room for improvement. For both ‘Moonlight Strategy’ and ‘Myriad Star Preaching Chart,’ I’ve only created the first stance. But now, I’ve already mastered the second chapter of ‘Yan Shen Seven Transformations.’ I can completely use the second chapter as a foundation, aided by the Beast God’s artistic conception, to create the second stance.” The second stance would be more profound than the first. But his current realm was also higher. “Let’s begin.” Luo Feng began to prepare for secret technique creation, but just as he was about to seek an opponent for combat… a golden-robed figure appeared in the starry sky—it was the Chaos City Lord. “Teacher,” Luo Feng immediately bowed respectfully.
