Luo Feng's Original Plan

“Yes, I was playing you! But you were playing me too!” Luo Feng retorted with a cold snort, looking at the colossal Tianlang before him.

“Human, how did I play you? Everything was according to our agreement. I just wanted to verify its authenticity. Did I play you then?” Tianlang roared.

“Tianlang, do you really think I’m that foolish? I haven’t even received the Beast God Inheritance Token, and you expect me to let you connect to the Virtual Universe? If I did that, I’d be a complete idiot,” Luo Feng scoffed. “The Beast God Inheritance Token is still with you. If I just gave you the Virtual Universe anonymous account sensor to connect, hmph, I’m afraid your so-called verification… is just a way to send a message back to the Demon Race.”

Tianlang paused slightly.

“A clever trick. Conducting a public bounty mission in a virtual game, a virtual game with countless players,” Luo Feng sneered. “Countless players would know this information simultaneously, and among them, there are probably spies from your Demon Race. Tsk tsk, your methods are formidable. Even the Virtual Universe system wouldn’t be able to determine who the spies are among countless players, would it?”

“Hmph,” Tianlang snorted.

“Through such means, you could easily send a message back,” Luo Feng looked at the mountain-like Tianlang with a half-smile. “Tianlang, by then, this sensor would be meaningless to you, and your objective would be achieved, while the Beast God Inheritance Token would still be with you. Tell me… would you really give it to me?”

“I will keep my word,” Tianlang said in a low voice.

“Bullshit,” Luo Feng scoffed. “Trusting the so-called guarantee of an alien enemy, that’s the real joke.”

Tianlang was stunned, then hesitated.

“Tianlang, how do you expect me to trust you?” Luo Feng looked at him.

Tianlang stared at the human before him. Tianlang, one of the Demon Race’s royal bloodlines, was inherently ferocious and cunning, and he was a standout among them, exceptionally skilled at disguise. Even after being imprisoned in the Ice Prison for endless years, he had always played the role of ‘benevolent,’ only occasionally revealing his true nature.

He had indeed used the Beast God Inheritance Token to lure the human, and the so-called ‘verification’ was indeed for transmitting a message. As long as the ‘verification’ received a response, it meant the message had been sent. Even if the human later revoked the permission, it wouldn’t matter. By then, there would naturally be no need to give the human the Beast God Inheritance Token.

“What do you suggest we do?” Tianlang’s voice was low.

“Since we’ve already shown our true colors, let’s stop playing games and using schemes,” Luo Feng said, looking at Tianlang. “One sentence – you give me the Beast God Inheritance Token! Then I’ll give you the sensor!”

“Impossible!” Tianlang roared. “What if I give you the Beast God Inheritance Token and you escape?”

“Haha, the dignified master of the Southern Ice Prison, afraid of me escaping?” Luo Feng looked at him.

“Who in the Ice Prison doesn’t know your escape abilities?” Tianlang’s emerald eyes fixed on Luo Feng.

“My escape abilities are formidable, but you, Tianlang, are also an Undefeatable King,” Luo Feng shook his head slightly. “If you don’t agree, then I truly have no other way. Or, you can propose a method that would make me trust you!”

Tianlang hesitated for a long time.

He couldn’t think of one.

He couldn’t think of any other method that would make this cunning and cautious human trust him.

“If you don’t make a decision soon, I’m leaving,” Luo Feng scoffed, shaking his head. “What good is a Beast God Inheritance Token if you can never leave the Ice Prison?”

“Wait a moment…”

Tianlang stared at Luo Feng, hesitating, pondering.

“Alright! I’ll give you the Beast God Inheritance Token!” Tianlang roared. “You must activate the Virtual Universe permission. If this is still a trick, I, Tianlang, swear… I will spare no effort, put a bounty throughout the Ice Prison, and have all the strong individuals in the Ice Prison hunt you down relentlessly across the entire Ice Prison.”

“Don’t worry,” Luo Feng grinned. “Trust human integrity.”

“Trusting an alien enemy is foolish,” Tianlang growled, and the Beast God Inheritance Token on his hoof flew directly towards Luo Feng.

“So you know that too,” Luo Feng reached out and took it. The hexagonal stone tablet felt heavy and extraordinary in his hand. A surge of excitement welled up in his heart as he secretly thought, “The Beast God Inheritance Token is mine. With this, I can exchange it for another inheritance token within my race. A special inheritance from the Ancestral God Sect? This is far more advanced than the Demon Sound God General inheritance. Perhaps I’ll gain a great harvest.”

“Permission has been activated,” Luo Feng said, looking at Tianlang.

“Good,” Tianlang turned his head, looking down at the tiny female servant. “Go verify again.”

“Yes, Master,” the female servant respectfully replied, then connected her consciousness to the Virtual Universe.

Luo Feng silently watched this scene, his own consciousness also connected to the Virtual Universe.

…

In the Virtual Universe, at the highest point of Thunder Island, within Chaos City Lord’s palace.

After checking some information about the Ancestral God Sect and the Beast God Inheritance Token online, Luo Feng had already come to visit his teacher, Chaos City Lord, before Tianlang discovered the flaw in his plan.

Inside the grand hall, chaotic energy currents permeated the air.

“Teacher,” Luo Feng said respectfully.

“What’s the urgent matter that brings you to me?” Chaos City Lord’s voice emanated from the energy currents.

“It concerns the Beast God Inheritance Token,” Luo Feng replied.

A golden-robed figure emerged from the energy currents. Chaos City Lord walked over to Luo Feng, his calm eyes, like the endless starry sky, holding a hint of surprise. Regarding this disciple, although Luo Feng’s previous multitasking had caused him some displeasure, he had to admit… Luo Feng’s opportunities were extraordinary.

Previously, on the Outer Territory Battlefield, Luo Feng, under the identity of ‘Daohe King,’ had fought against the Black Razor King! This news had already spread, and how could Chaos City Lord, who cared so much for this disciple, not know? Although Luo Feng had retired and shut down his Virtual Universe synchronization transmission at the time, there were many powerful individuals from the human faction nearby who had recorded the event.

After watching, Chaos City Lord was first astonished that Luo Feng, as a Sector Lord, could contend with the Black Razor King. He then confirmed…

Those black spherical objects must be a set of Valuable Treasures!

Just as Supreme Treasures have varying levels, so do Valuable Treasures.

Their functions also determine their value; offensive Valuable Treasures are generally less precious than defensive ones. And defensive Valuable Treasures are less valuable than sealing-type Valuable Treasures! Their power also varies… Among the many Valuable Treasures, ‘set Valuable Treasures’ are absolutely among the most powerful.

For example, the set of seven swords owned by Seven Swords King is a set Valuable Treasure.

“Not long ago on the Outer Territory Battlefield, this disciple acquired a set of Valuable Treasures. How, in the blink of an eye, does he have a Beast God Inheritance Token?” Chaos City Lord was surprised. A Beast God Inheritance Token is absolutely comparable in preciousness to a set of Valuable Treasures, as it represents an opportunity for the highest inheritance of the Ancestral God Sect.

“Please allow your disciple to describe it in detail,” Luo Feng said.

“Tell me in detail,” Chaos City Lord instructed.

“Yes, this disciple went to the Wuhua Secret Realm this time,” Luo Feng began to describe, only concealing the fact that his true purpose was to find the black metal plate, but everything else was largely accurate. “I was imprisoned in the Ice Prison, but I wasn’t alarmed, as my core was outside, and only my Earthling original body was imprisoned.”

“I treated it as a place for cultivation.”

“Although the five giants in the Ice Prison are all formidable, even considered Undefeatable King-level combatants, this disciple still had some confidence.”

“Because these five giants have few Valuable Treasures, even defensive Valuable Treasures are rare,” Luo Feng explained. “This disciple planned to temper himself there, especially after mastering the third chapter of the ‘Ninefold Tower,’ by then, this disciple would be able to unleash the second form of the Wu Qi Wings and cause spatial turbulence. With the power of the Supreme Treasure’s second form, even a Universe Venerable would struggle to seal me, let alone the sealing and time-stopping techniques of the five giants in the Ice Prison.”

“With invincible speed, this disciple would be completely invulnerable.”

“Moreover, this disciple’s current strength is already very close to that of the five giants, almost on par. Once this disciple cultivates to the third chapter, his strength will advance further! I am confident I can suppress and severely injure them. This disciple also bought many treasures back then. As long as I can defeat and control an Undefeatable King, I will give the ‘Purple Bell’ to that Undefeatable King. With a defensive Valuable Treasure and an Undefeatable King servant, this disciple is confident in taking them down one by one,” Luo Feng said respectfully.

“This was this disciple’s original plan.”

“To cultivate there for ten thousand years, fighting them one by one,” Luo Feng stated.

Chaos City Lord nodded inwardly. This Luo Feng was indeed full of fighting spirit. As merely a Sector Lord, he had the confidence to contend with ‘Undefeatable Kings.’ Although those five Undefeatable Kings could only be considered ‘pseudo’ Undefeatable Kings, as Valuable Treasures were too scarce, without enough treasures… they were far inferior to Zhenyan King and others.

“But this disciple discovered this Beast God Inheritance Token,” Luo Feng said respectfully, then recounted his interactions with Tianlang.

“If Tianlang falls into the trap, then this disciple can safely obtain the Beast God Inheritance Token.”

“If he sees through it, then this disciple must find a way to get the Beast God Inheritance Token first,” Luo Feng said respectfully. “Upon seeing the Beast God Inheritance Token, this disciple could no longer bear to stay in the Ice Prison for ten thousand years. This disciple wants to leave, wants to go to that inheritance ground, and wants to become stronger!”

“And without waiting ten thousand years, this disciple alone cannot leave. So, I must rely on Teacher.” Luo Feng said respectfully.

“Teacher… if this disciple obtains the Beast God Inheritance Token, I must give the sensor to Tianlang,” Luo Feng said. “The first option is for this disciple to escape after getting the inheritance token. With this disciple’s life-saving abilities, Tianlang won’t be able to do anything to me… I’ll just wait for Teacher to pick me up. The second option is to let him connect to the Virtual Universe and send a message. Then, when the Demon Race powerhouses arrive, Teacher will also appear.”

“For these two options, I ask for Teacher’s guidance,” Luo Feng said respectfully.

“If Teacher deems neither suitable, this disciple can also patiently endure ten thousand years there,” Luo Feng added.

Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng, then let out a hearty laugh: “Haha, look at you, your mind is already restless, your heart set on that inheritance ground. How could you still have the patience to stay there? Hmm, you can let Tianlang send the message. Given his status, although he is an Undefeatable King now, he was very weak back then. The Demon Race won’t fully trust his words. It would be good if they could send a Universe Overlord-level powerhouse, and it would be incredible if a Universe Master were dispatched.”

“Regardless, even if it’s a Universe Master, I can suppress them.”

“You first secure the Beast God Inheritance Token, lest the Demon Race dispatches a Universe Master to protect Tianlang, making it difficult for me to seize the Beast God Inheritance Token,” Chaos City Lord instructed. “This Beast God Inheritance Token is also a treasure. My clone in the Primal Universe is idle anyway. To acquire a Supreme Treasure, one must engage in massive slaughter, but to gain a Beast God Inheritance Token with a single outing is quite worthwhile.”

“Yes,” Luo Feng said respectfully.

“Mm.”

Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng, a sense of anticipation in his heart. He felt that this disciple’s opportunities and encounters were truly remarkable. It would be a pity for such an opportunity to be confined to one place for over ten thousand years. If Luo Feng were allowed to go to the inheritance ground… he might gain even more. After all, ever since becoming his disciple, Luo Feng had surprised him time and again, no matter where he went, though the disciple’s insistence on cultivating both as a Spirit Reader and a Fighter gave him a slight headache.
