Within the territory of the Thunder Ancient Country, the holy land “Mt. Leiting.”
Nine monarchs, with either their true bodies or avatars, resided here. The Thunder Ancestor had even set up a terrifying formation at great cost, making this place the most dangerous in the entire Land of Origin. It was more fearsome than any city within the Flame Wind Ancient Country.
“Sigh.”
The wind blew, and a figure in a black robe with a golden mask appeared at the foot of Mt. Leiting.
“The emperors of the Flame Wind Ancient Country live separately, but the majority of those from the Thunder Ancient Country are gathered here.” Luo Feng raised his head to look at this holy mountain, where endless thunderbolts spread throughout the mountain ranges, “Deep within Mt. Leiting, there should be a hidden Origin Dao of Thunderbolt.”
Although the nine Origin Great Daos contained in the Supreme Rules of the Land of Origin did not include the Thunderbolt Dao.
Yet, with Luo Feng’s Spiritual Will, he could sense the presence of a Thunderbolt Dao hidden within this holy mountain.
In the Primordial Cosmos, one could harbor the Great Dao of Life Origin!
Sector Beasts, too, were vessels for the destruction of the origin.
It was understandable that, with the methods of the Thunder Ancestor, an Origin Dao of Thunderbolt could be concealed here.
“Hmm? A powerful figure in a black robe and golden mask!”
“That mysterious figure in a black robe and golden mask has come to Mt. Leiting?” The Formation of Mt. Leiting covered an extremely vast area. Although Luo Feng seemed to be just at the foot of the mountain, he was already within the observational range of Mt. Leiting, which immediately caused a few monarchs to become alert.
Whoosh.
Endless thunderbolts converged at the foot of the mountain, and these thunderbolts eventually formed into a white-robed elder. Thunderbolts still traversed his body, each one with a force that somewhat surprised Luo Feng.
“There are nine monarchs in the Thunder Ancient Country, and it is said that three of them belong to the Thunderbolt lineage,” Luo Feng thought. “Those of the Thunderbolt lineage can display incredible strength from their Primordial Bloodline.”
The white-robed elder before him, with thunderbolts naturally radiating from his body, each held the strength of Emperor Gui Xu and Wuxin God King.
In terms of tapping into the Primordial Bloodline, the Thunderbolt lineage was the most powerful in the Land of Origin, their Secret Techniques allowed for clearer consciousness and better extraction of the bloodline’s power, and even Secret Treasures were highly compatible with their bloodline.
“I am Lei Fu,” the white-robed elder said with a smile, looking at Luo Feng. “I have long heard of the renown of the one in black.” As he spoke, an invisible will spread out, silently invading toward Luo Feng.
Boom!
Luo Feng’s Spiritual Will was vast and profound, and with just a slight touch, the white-robed elder immediately withdrew his probe of Spiritual Will.
“Your Spiritual Will can surpass that of a Godly King level; I am impressed,” said the white-robed elder with a smile.
“The entire Land of Origin recognizes the Thunderbolt lineage of the Thunder Ancient Country as the strongest when it comes to cultivating Primordial Bloodlines. Who would have thought their Spiritual Secret Methods would be so extraordinary as well,” extolled Luo Feng.
“You flatter me.” The white-robed elder was quite curious about the identity of the strong figure in the black robe and golden mask before him.
After all, across the entire Land of Origin, those whose Spiritual Will exceeded the Godly King level were few and far fewer than Emperors and Monarchs. And they were particularly effective against Emperors and Monarchs who cultivated Primordial Bloodlines!
Before Luo Feng, those Emperors and Monarchs who cultivated Primordial Bloodlines, relying on Secret Treasures and Ultimate Realm Life Forms, could maintain clarity of mind but would suffer greatly in strength!
Even some Emperors and Monarchs with weaker Spiritual Will found it difficult to stay clearheaded under normal circumstances, and if they were attacked by Luo Feng’s Spiritual Will, they were likely to lose control.
“Lei Fu Monarch, by chance I have obtained the exotic ‘Thousand Dreams Fruit’,” said Luo Feng. “I’m wondering if the Thunder Ancient Country might be interested?”
“Thousand Dreams Fruit?” Lei Fu Monarch said with a smile. “Of course, we’re interested.”
“I’d like to exchange it for parts of the body of an Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline creature,” Luo Feng continued. “The more material from the bodies, the better, and it can come from different Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline creatures.”
Upon hearing this, Lei Fu Monarch was surprised. “Body materials? Even if you obtain some material, it’s not possible to refine a complete Primordial Bloodline. The Ultimate Primordial Bloodline is not easy to refine, even for our Ancestors.”
“I know. I only need a small amount of body material,” said Luo Feng. “I’ve also contacted the Flame Wind Ancient Country and the Three Alien Clans. Whichever side offers more material, I will eventually trade with them.”
“Negotiating with all five sides at the same time?” Lei Fu Monarch nodded slightly. “Good, we in the Thunder Ancient Country will discuss this matter internally.”
It was quite normal for negotiations involving treasures of this level to include all five parties.
“I hope that within three days, the Thunder Ancient Country can give me a reply,” Luo Feng said as he threw out a Command Token. “You can contact me through this token when the time comes.”
“The four most precious items are all things that our Thunder Ancient Country is willing to pay a great price for,” Lei Fu Monarch took the Command Token and said, “Rest assured, we will give you a very satisfactory offer.”
Luo Feng nodded and then disappeared without a sound.
Lei Fu Monarch watched this scene.
“An avatar completely self-destructing, and even the means of contact must be through a Command Token? Such cautiousness from the one in black,” Lei Fu Monarch glanced at the Command Token, very curious about the identity of the figure in the black robe and golden mask, but obviously Luo Feng was very careful, making it extremely difficult to probe his identity.
…
“I’ve contacted both Lei Fu Monarch and Emperor Xuan, now it’s just waiting for the results,” Luo Feng thought to himself within Huyang City.
Emperor Xuan had a Clone Technique and, being extremely proud, was concerned with face. As a result, the other Emperors often trusted Emperor Xuan with many matters, since he disdained personal gain. Thus, it was easy to locate Emperor Xuan’s avatar.
“I wonder what terms these two will offer.” Luo Feng spoke of negotiating with five parties, but in reality, it was only two.
…
Mt. Leiting, inside a majestic hall.
Nine monarchs sat apart, some in their True Bodies and others in avatars.
“`
“Gentlemen.”
The reigning Lei Xiao Monarch surveyed the surrounding and spoke, “Just now, a black-robed figure with a golden mask offered to sell us a ‘Thousand Dreams Fruit.’ Since the price of the Thousand Dreams Fruit does not exceed 3 billion Merit Points, there’s no need to report to the Thunder Ancestor. The decision can be made upon our collective discussion.”
The four treasures that the two Ancient Country Ancestors and the top three Alien Clans value the most.
For the first two, Special Life Remnants and Secret Skills left by Yuan, both Ancestors would personally negotiate as they place great importance on them.
For treasures valued over a billion in Merit Points? Below 3 billion, the Monarchs can make a collective decision. Above 3 billion, the Ancestors themselves would negotiate.
As for Innate Secret Treasures, it’s up to the Monarchs to determine the value first. Only if they surpass the complexity of the Secret Patterns of Mt. Leiting would they report to the Ancestor. Otherwise, the Monarchs can decide, especially since treasures below Mt. Leiting’s level are not that useful to the Thunder Ancestor anyway.
“Is it true that the black-robed figure’s Spiritual Will is beyond God King Level?”
“Such powerful Spiritual Will?”
The Monarchs were less concerned about the treasures but more about the black-robed figure’s strength.
“I tried to make contact with my Spiritual Secret Method,” said Lei Fu Monarch. “I can confirm, his Spiritual Will truly is beyond God King Level.”
“Such a powerful figure is always troublesome.”
“Another one has emerged.”
Many Monarchs from the Thunder Ancient Country were quite displeased.
Such a figure was too much of a counter to them! Perhaps only the three Monarchs descended from the thunder lineage were better off, a bit clearer-headed, so they could reduce their power somewhat.
“Let’s talk about the main issue,” Lei Xiao Monarch said. “That black-robed figure stated that he needs ‘materials from the corpses of Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline Creatures,’ preferably from various creatures and the more, the better. He is negotiating with five parties at the same time; whoever offers more, he will trade with.”
“What does he want with these corpse materials? These fragments can’t be refined into a complete Primordial Bloodline.”
“Is he feeding a Sector Beast?”
“Using these materials for Physical Body Cultivation?”
“Studying the materials to comprehend the Great Dao?”
“This black-robed figure has a powerful Spiritual Will; maybe with these materials, he wants to strengthen his physical body! If both body and mind are powerful, he will be even more difficult to deal with.”
The Monarchs speculated variously.
The uses for an Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline corpse are many, but for a small amount of incomplete materials, the uses are much fewer.
The Monarchs didn’t care much about the Thousand Dreams Fruit, but they were very concerned about whether the ‘black-robed figure with the golden mask’s’ strength would increase.
“Gentlemen, let’s discuss the main issue,” Lei Xiao Monarch reiterated.
“A single Thousand Dreams Fruit,” said the Monarchs, uncaring, “two or three parts of the corpse materials should suffice.” Even if they exchanged for the materials, they would ultimately belong to the Thunder Ancestor. The Thunder Ancestor’s rewards to them weren’t much either.
“The three Alien Clans transport from other Source Worlds to our Land of Origin, so they bring precious items. Either God King Grade Secret Treasures or a refined part of Ultimate Primordial Bloodline or a complete Ultimate Primordial Bloodline creature’s corpse. For such low-value ‘Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline Creatures’ fragmentary corpse materials, even if brought, wouldn’t be much.”
“Yes, the remnants the three Alien Clans bring are generally ‘Low Level Primordial Life Remnants’.”
“This black-robed figure only needs ‘Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline creatures’ incomplete corpses, the three Alien Clans won’t be able to offer much. On the other hand, Flame Wind Ancient Country might offer quite a few incomplete materials.”
A small amount of corpse materials, not enough to refine a complete bloodline, can only be stored in the treasure trove.
“Indeed, two or three parts of the corpse materials should be enough.” They were unwilling to offer too much, fearful of making the black-robed figure with the golden mask significantly stronger.
“Then let’s settle for three parts,” Lei Xiao Monarch decided.
In the treasure trove, remnants from two ‘Ultimate Realm’ Primordial Bloodline creatures accounted for one-tenth and one-seventh of a body, respectively, adding up to almost three-tenths. To put it nicely, it’s like offering three parts of one body’s materials.
…
In the Flame Wind Ancient Country, the Twelve Emperors were also discussing the matter.
“The Thousand Dreams Fruit has actually been obtained by the black-robed figure,” said Di Jiufeng. “In my opinion, there’s no need to offer him too much. He’s using the Thousand Dreams Fruit in exchange, clearly indicating he really needs the ‘Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline’ creature materials, so we should offer less.”
“The Ancestor doesn’t value one Thousand Dreams Fruit too highly either,” remarked Di Kong as well.
“Hmph.”
Di Yan said coldly, “The four treasures are all needed by the Ancestor. Although the Thousand Dreams Fruit is slightly less valued, and we Emperors can collectively decide, the Ancestor will ultimately investigate each of our collective decisions! If you are so careless and the Ancestor is enraged, who will bear the consequences? I think we must give a condition that won’t enrage the Ancestor.”
“At the very least, we shouldn’t enrage the Ancestor,” Di Xi added.
“I think two or three parts are about right,” Di Chu commented. “Two or three parts of an Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline corpse is definitely not a low offer.”
“We should choose materials from different corpses,” suggested Di Yan. “Otherwise, he might have a special method to refine a complete bloodline.”
The Emperors discussed among themselves.
Di Fu watched this scene.
“Gentlemen.”
Finally, Di Fu spoke, “Currently, in our treasure trove, we have incomplete materials of three ‘Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline corpses,’ altogether amounting to five parts of a body. I think we can offer all of it to purchase this Thousand Dreams Fruit.”
“All of it?” Everyone present turned to look at Di Fu.
