The Troubles of Fame

Luo Feng and Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu swiftly flew away as streams of light. The entire Treasure Land was incredibly vast and boundless; some large lakes nestled within mountain ranges spanned over a million kilometers, illustrating the immense scale of the Treasure Land.

“How long are we going to keep flying like this? Let’s teleport,” Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu suggested.

“Okay,” Luo Feng agreed. His Demon Killer Clan clone formed a metal sheet nestled between his Moyun battle suit and general’s armor. Then, the two of them, one after the other, almost simultaneously performed spatial teleportation. Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu teleported first, and Luo Feng sensed his position before teleporting to him. Although it’s generally difficult to pinpoint exact coordinates for long-distance teleportation...

Luo Feng and Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu’s teleportation distance wasn’t that far after all.

...

Deep within a secluded mountain range in the Treasure Land, Luo Feng and Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu appeared simultaneously. Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu gazed down, pointing to a distant mountain hollow: “Let’s head to that valley hollow. I reckon there are an alarming number of people looking for you right now. In this remote corner, we can have some peace for a while.”

“Ha,” Luo Feng chuckled, nodded, and then, with Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu, swooped down into the mountain hollow deep within the valley.

Inside the hollow, a mountain stream gurgled softly.

Luo Feng and Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu landed by the stream.

“Hua, are you truly Daohe King?” Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu looked at Luo Feng, unable to resist asking.

Luo Feng looked back at him: “You want to know?”

“That’s not what I meant,” Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu quickly clarified. “I don’t mean to pry into your background, but I’m also very curious. Daohe King’s reputation is truly immense. To be able to kill a Limit-Tier Immortal as a Sector Lord… that’s something only a unique lifeform like Zhuchong King in the universe could achieve against all odds. I believe many in the universe are curious about you.”

Luo Feng smiled and nodded: “Then just consider me Daohe King.”

“You’re not?” Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu was startled. “Could it be, ah!”

Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise: “Could it be that you are a fake intentionally put forth by the Human Race to mislead those alien races who want to kill Daohe King? Ah, brilliant, truly brilliant, this move is ruthless. This way, no matter how much effort they expend, it will be wasted, and the real Daohe King will be protected. And with your ability, the race would definitely ensure your resurrection by reversing time and space.”

“This Qianyu’s imagination is quite good,” Luo Feng thought to himself.

Seeing Luo Feng remain silent, Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu quickly added: “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. Hey—you’re not intentionally misleading me, are you? Maybe you *are* the real Daohe King! Truth and falsehood, deliberately used to mislead me.”

“You can think whatever you like,” Luo Feng smiled. “You can call me Hua, or you can call me Daohe King, I’ll answer to either.”

“You—” Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu was helpless.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. I came to the Treasure Land, and I’m very curious about this treasure,” Luo Feng turned his head to look at the mountain hollow. The scenery in the hollow was beautiful, the distant valley walls were steep and perilous, and the abundant plants on the walls were strange and varied, with grotesque rocks everywhere, and streams flowing.

Luo Feng observed for a long time.

“Where’s the treasure?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask. “I’ve been in the Treasure Land for so long, and I haven’t seen any treasure.”

“Treasures are everywhere,” Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu teased. “Of course, you can’t see them.”

“What do you mean?” Luo Feng pressed.

“Newcomer, you really don’t know anything. Enter the Glory World, gather with our many friends in the Hong Alliance, chat more often, and you’ll naturally learn more. I’ll tell you about this common knowledge,” Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu pointed to the surroundings. “Super powerhouses in the Ancestral God Sect can leave treasures hidden somewhere. After hiding them, they also set conditions. Any powerhouse who meets the conditions, as long as they reach the treasure’s location, the treasure will automatically open.”

“Automatically open?” Luo Feng wondered. “Treasures are inanimate objects, how would they know if we meet the conditions?”

“You don’t understand this,” Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu pointed to the sky. “The entire area covered by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake is within the Ancestral God Sect’s control. As long as you are in this area, anything you do, the Ancestral God Sect’s hidden control system will know.”

Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. Yes, he knew everything that happened inside the Star Tower.

Where those powerhouses were, what they were doing, everything was very detailed.

The Five-Colored Aurora Lake was probably the same.

“What stage has your Beast God inheritance reached? What is your divine power intensity? Your soul amplitude techniques, divine body amplitude techniques… you will naturally deliberately display them in the Glory World… and the Glory World’s control system should be connected to the entire Five-Colored Aurora Lake’s control system, right?” Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu said. “In short, this control system will collect all your information. Once you meet the conditions for a certain treasure to open, as long as you arrive at the treasure’s location, it will automatically open.”

“So, getting treasures mainly depends on two things: first, meeting the treasure’s conditions. Second, reaching the treasure’s location.”

Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu smiled, “So normally, you should try to display your special abilities, your unique abilities, in the Glory World, or quietly demonstrate them in your own mansion. Although your mansion is your territory, the control system will still know everything you do.”

“Remember, you must display your strength… otherwise, the control system won’t be able to collect information,” Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu said.

Luo Feng nodded as he listened.

It was the same for him in the Star Tower; he had a pair of eyes constantly watching the powerhouses inside the tower, but that was the extent of it! He couldn’t probe the souls of those alien races, nor their internal secrets; he could only gather information from their outward appearance.

“For example, if you, Daohe King, are truly a Sector Lord, you can temporarily expose your Sector Lord identity in your mansion, your territory,” Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu said. “Very, very few inheritors who come here are Sector Lords; perhaps fewer than 10 since the birth of the universe until now. Every Sector Lord who comes here is a heaven-defying monster with Immortal-level strength. This is what makes you most unique. Perhaps there’s a treasure specifically set with conditions that only a Sector Lord can open.”

“Ha…” Luo Feng chuckled, but many ideas had already formed in his mind when he heard Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu’s description earlier.

“Later, in that Glory World, I’ll gather some information and data. As a newcomer, I just know too little,” Luo Feng thought to himself.

...

When Luo Feng and Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu were hiding in a secluded valley hollow on the edge of the entire Treasure Land… the entire Treasure Land became lively. The news of Daohe King appearing in the Treasure Land and fighting Beishan Venerable spread incredibly fast. Especially through the virtual world ‘Glory World’. Initially, only tens of thousands of powerhouses watched the spectacle, but word spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, and in a moment, tens of millions of inheritors knew. Some powerhouses didn’t know because they had turned off message reception and were diligently cultivating.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Figures appeared one after another at the teleportation channel.

“Where is Daohe King?”

“Where is the Human Daohe King?” Those powerhouses who had just arrived at the Treasure Land all wanted to see the Daohe King, famous throughout billions of races in the universe.

“He slipped away.”

“This Daohe King and that Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu King, they slipped away together.”

“You didn’t mistake him, did you? Was that human really Daohe King?”

“No mistake, absolutely no mistake. Many powerhouses from various races have confirmed that was Daohe King. The Human Race is just one race, and there are only so many Immortal-level powerhouses, and genius Immortal-level powerhouses are even rarer. It’s already incredible to have one Daohe King; could there be another hidden, powerful Immortal? Just think, the probability is astonishingly low. Coincidentally, Daohe King also cultivates the Beast God path. Could it be that two peerless geniuses, both with hidden identities, rising at the same time, both cultivating the Beast God path? Hahaha, only a fool would believe that. That must be Daohe King.”

“Hmm, that makes sense. Let’s go, let’s go, quickly go see this Daohe King. It’s said that the Monster Race, Machine Race, and Insectoid Race have incredibly high bounties, especially the Monster Race, which even offered a supreme treasure. Although it barely meets the threshold of a supreme treasure and is useless to those lofty Universe Masters, it drives the Universe Venerables crazy.”

...

The Treasure Land, though vast and boundless, had too many powerhouses. Before long, Luo Feng and Qianyu King were discovered.

“Look, isn’t that Qianyu King?”

“Yes, it’s him. The human in black armor next to him must be Daohe King.”

“Daohe King is a Sector Lord? But why can’t I tell?”

“They say Daohe King has a supreme treasure that conceals his Sector Lord aura.” Three figures suddenly swooped down, directly rushing into the mountain hollow in the valley.

Luo Feng and Dark Mist Tribe Qianyu looked up and saw the three figures almost instantly appear before them.

“Still discovered,” Luo Feng shook his head. He had originally wanted to explore this place, which hid countless treasures, but now it seemed he couldn’t wander freely.

“Daohe King.”

“Daohe King.”

The three figures were all about 1.6 meters tall, with very broad backs and extremely developed muscles, as if they were carrying shields. They also had six thick arms and six eyes, all staring curiously at Luo Feng. They seemed to want to see how miraculous this human was, who could kill a Limit-Tier Immortal as a Sector Lord.

“Are you Daohe King?” one of the powerhouses in dark green armor suddenly asked.

“Of course he is.”

“Definitely,” the other two companions said directly.

Luo Feng smiled at this: “Three Tabai Tribe powerhouses, do you have business with Daohe King?”

“Don’t deny it. It’s impossible for the Human Race to have two peerless geniuses emerge in the same era, both with hidden identities, and both cultivating the Beast God path,” said the Tabai Tribe powerhouse wearing dark purple armor.

“Daohe King,” the Tabai Tribe powerhouse in dark green armor stared at Luo Feng. “I’ve heard your legends, but I don’t believe them! Your Human Race’s life genes have always been ordinary, and you’re not a special lifeform. Even if your comprehension of laws is high, even if your secret techniques are powerful, if your body and soul aren’t strong enough, you absolutely cannot be an opponent for a Limit-Tier Immortal, let alone kill one. They say you’re a Sector Lord, I don’t believe it! This is probably a rumor intentionally spread by your Human Race!”
