“Even a Secret Treasure worth tens of thousands of Reward Points is quite good,” Emperor Qing said with a smile, “By the way, those few Secret Treasures left by Emperor Yuan after his death, are they difficult to sell?”
“It is indeed difficult to sell; I barely managed to sell two out of the five,” Luo Feng said with a wave of his hand, the remaining red cloak, combat boots, and gloves—these three Secret Treasures—appeared.
“Sold the two more valuable ones, and the remaining three are the most ordinary,” Emperor Qing observed, “Three early-stage Divine Emperor Secret Treasures, how about this, my Flame Wind Ancient Country will buy them back, for a total of ten thousand Primordial Crystals.”
One Primordial Crystal exchanges for a million Merit Points at the guest elder level of the two great Ancient Countries.
Ten thousand Primordial Crystals amount to ten billion Merit Points!
This is a massive amount of merit that even common Second Realm Godly Kings would look up to, and even Emperors and Monarchs would find it extremely difficult to amass such a grand amount.
“Alright,” Luo Feng nodded with a smile.
With a swoosh, Emperor Qing waved his hand, and a pile of dazzling Primordial Crystals floated to the side.
Luo Feng’s eyes lit up; each Primordial Crystal about the size of a fingertip, each round and emitting a natural aura that made Luo Feng have an urge to absorb them.
“Primordial Crystals are the Universal Currency beyond the Source World,” Emperor Qing explained, “They are refined from the essence of endless Primordial Force by Primordial Life that has escaped the Braided Cage. Each is made so small to facilitate our transactions.”
Luo Feng waved his hand and collected the stack of Primordial Crystals, but left three in his hand to feel them carefully.
“Primordial Crystals are beneficial for cultivation for all life within the Braided Cage,” Emperor Qing said.
“Universal Currency?” Luo Feng understood as he carefully examined the three Primordial Crystals in his palm.
“Absorbing them is beneficial for cultivation. But moderation is necessary,” Emperor Qing said, “With early-stage Divine Emperor strength, no more than 100 crystals should be absorbed per epoch. If the number absorbed is too large, the effect will diminish, and it might even become completely ineffective.”
“Each Cultivator has different physical and soul strengths, so the optimal quota also varies. This requires you to slowly explore during your cultivation.”
“In any case, once the effect starts to decline, you must immediately reduce the quantity,” Emperor Qing advised, “As long as you maintain a lower quantity, the effect of the Primordial Crystals will always be good. Until you escape the Braided Cage, you can keep using them.”
Luo Feng exclaimed in admiration, “Indeed magical.”
Primordial Crystals can be used by ordinary guest elders of the two great Ancient Countries! Even Divine Emperors can use them… Indeed, it is a very versatile treasure.
“Brother Galaxy, if the Secret Technique is created and everything is ready, notify me anytime,” Emperor Qing handed Luo Feng a token, “When the time comes, crush the token, and I will sense it immediately.”
Other Emperors of the Flame Wind Ancient Country also have only transmission tokens to contact Emperor Qing, and Emperor Qing does not check them when he is in seclusion.
But this token to Luo Feng, Emperor Qing will sense immediately.
“Alright, once everything is prepared, and when it’s time to leave the Land of Origin, I will definitely notify Brother Emperor Qing,” Luo Feng happily promised.
Emperor Qing smiled and nodded, then immediately stepped away and left.
…
In the Flame Wind Ancient Country, Qingdu, Emperor Qing Palace.
Emperor Di Fu, Emperor Di Yan, Emperor Di Jiufeng, Emperor Di Chu, and a total of eleven Emperors, either their True Bodies or Forms, had already gathered here.
“Emperor Qing and the Galaxy Ruler’s battle, the Galaxy Ruler finally released a nine-story tower, defeating Emperor Qing?” These Emperors were somewhat anxious; the greatest confidence of the Flame Wind Ancient Country has always been the Primogenitor Yan Feng and Emperor Qing.
In the Land of Origin, due to the limitations on power, the difference between Emperor Qing and Primogenitor Yan Feng is not that big.
With a sigh, Emperor Qing appeared on the throne inside the great hall.
“Emperor Qing.” All eleven Emperors turned to look at Emperor Qing.
Emperor Qing looked at his kin, frowned and shook his head: “This Galaxy Ruler is extremely powerful! He also possesses a very powerful Secret Treasure. With that tower-type treasure, I couldn’t defeat him.”
The eleven Emperors were bewildered.
Emperor Qing couldn’t defeat him?
“The power limitations of the Land of Origin, even if the Ancestor made a move, he would need powerful Secret Treasures to suppress the Galaxy Ruler,” Emperor Qing shook his head, “To suppress him, yet also unable to injure him.”
“The foundation of this Galaxy Ruler is established!” Emperor Qing gently shook his head then disappeared.
Leaving the eleven Emperors looking at each other in dismay.
“The Ancestor made a move, with the aid of a Secret Treasure, yet couldn’t injure this Galaxy Ruler?” Emperor Di Yan felt disheartened.
Emperor Di Fu sighed, “We Emperors, are also helpless against the Thunder Ancestor or the East Extreme Domain Ancestor. Now there’s just one more Galaxy Ruler, that’s all!”
“It seems, the vengeance for Emperor Yuan, can only be endured,” Emperor Di Kong lamented from the side.
“Emperor Di Kong, don’t take pleasure in the misfortune,” Emperor Di Yan rebuked from the side.
“I’m speaking the truth, do you dare to take revenge?” Emperor Di Kong sneered, and with a step, he too had left.
“They’re leaving, another Ancestor-level existence,” Emperor Di Chu, Emperor Di Jiufeng, and others also departed one after another.
Emperor Di Fu, however, was quite troubled.
“This Galaxy Ruler is so strong, with a Secret Treasure in hand, he can even suppress Emperor Qing. Is he really Luo He?” Emperor Di Fu was not so confident at this moment, “With such strength, would he leave the Land of Origin with me?”
Companions, are chosen by each other.
He chose the other! But… the other must see value in him, Emperor Di Fu! With such a huge difference in strength, the Galaxy Ruler probably wouldn’t care about him.
“In cultivation, after all, it depends on oneself. One must be strong enough,” Emperor Di Fu thought to himself, “I must find a way to reach the Ultimate Realm.”
His Formation skill was extremely profound, only a thin barrier away from the Ultimate Realm, yet he just couldn’t break through.
Emperor Di Fu was also distressed.
“`
…
“Emperor Qing has finally taken action, seeking revenge for Emperor Yuan!”
“The power of Emperor Qing and the Galaxy Ruler is terrifying.”
“Hm?”
“Did Emperor Qing lose?”
“Was that nine-story tower the one that defeated Emperor Qing?”
Those with a bit of insight could tell that in this clash, Emperor Qing had been bested! This shocked them.
In the Land of Origin, there is a consensus: if the Ancestors of the two countries do not act, Emperor Qing is invincible!
This time, with the Galaxy Ruler wielding the nine-story tower, he actually overwhelmed Emperor Qing.
“In our Thunder Ancient Country, apart from the Ancestor, there are no beings above Godly King. We need to be more cautious from now on.” The monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Country were even more anxious than those of the Flame Wind Ancient Country.
…
“Isn’t this the Star Tower I refined?” Mountain Sitting Guest, observing through the recordings of the Thunderclap Commerce, clearly saw the entire battle between Emperor Qing and Luo Feng and witnessed the emergence of the Star Tower at the end.
“Star Tower, a First Realm of Godly King Secret Treasure, was actually able to defeat Emperor Qing?” Mountain Sitting Guest was stupefied.
“It seems that when I originally refined the Star Tower, that strand of Golden Light that merged into it was quite special,” Mountain Sitting Guest thought.
With his abilities, he was extremely careful during the Artifact Refining process, not daring to allow any imperfections in the materials he used. Yet, a strand of Golden Light ignored his formations and his domain, directly merging into the Star Tower. Mountain Sitting Guest sensed something was off at that time.
Originally, after the Golden Light merged during the refining of the Star Tower, the Star Tower quickly took shape; from what he could see at that time, it indeed was a First Realm of Godly King Secret Treasure.
He could not see the true nature of the Star Tower.
The process of recognizing the master of the Star Tower was also much more difficult than Mountain Sitting Guest had anticipated! It was only Luo Feng, on the brink of life and death, who gained recognition from the Star Tower.
“A good treasure also needs a suitable master.”
“In the hands of Luo Feng, the Star Tower can truly unleash its power,” Mountain Sitting Guest felt quite emotional, being the refiner and a being at the First Realm of Godly King himself, he couldn’t even discern the true mysteries of the Star Tower.
Yet, Mountain Sitting Guest only felt happy.
Happy for his disciple!
After avenging a deep vengeance, Mountain Sitting Guest felt incredibly peaceful inside. Now, his primary concern was his disciple, Luo Feng. The more luminous his disciple became, the happier he naturally felt.
“From Earth, this little guy has imperceptibly stood at the pinnacle of the Land of Origin,” Mountain Sitting Guest thought, and smiled.
******
Huyang City, city owner’s mansion, Quiet Room.
Luo Feng was in closed-door cultivation here, leaving the affairs of the Galaxy Divine Country mainly to Morosa, although at critical moments, one thought from him could reach the Galaxy Divine Country.
“This sparring, Emperor Qing intentionally let me win,” Luo Feng understood this point.
From beginning to end, Emperor Qing only used one array, the ‘Three Thousand Kill Array’, and did not use any other powerful methods or any secret treasures! A being above Godly King, wandering outside the Source World for prolonged years, without any life-risking tactics? In his hometown, doesn’t he have a single secret treasure?
If really sparing no expense, whether I could have the upper hand is still hard to say.
My secret treasures might have the advantage, but Emperor Qing’s realm is higher than mine, using some treasures at the late or perfect level of Divine Emperor might be able to contend with the Star Tower.
“In the Land of Origin, the power is limited; myself, Emperor Qing, the Ancestors of the two nations… Even if one gains the upper hand, it’s hard to significantly affect the others.”
“But outside the Land of Origin, the gap becomes significant.”
Luo Feng was very clear; his so-called invincibility was due to taking advantage of the supreme rules that limited power in the Land of Origin.
“Let’s practice diligently, I at least need to reach the Ultimate Realm.” Luo Feng flipped his hand, and a Primordial Crystal appeared in his palm; this finger-sized, smooth, stone-like treasure was swallowed by Luo Feng in one gulp.
Primordial Crystal, upon entering the body, began to be slowly absorbed.
“Hm?”
Primordial Crystal, the essence of refined Primordial Force, should be beneficial as long as one hasn’t become Primordial Life.
At this moment Luo Feng’s Physical Body was nourished, his spirit was also nourished, and his thoughts were processing several times faster, his Comprehension also seemed to be improving.
“It even has effects of strengthening my Physical Body and empowering my spirit,” Luo Feng exclaimed.
Primordial Crystal, at an extremely slow pace, was fortifying his Physical Body, spirit. In theory, with an infinite amount of Primordial Crystal and infinite time, one could strengthen the Physical Body, spirit to an extremely terrifying state.
Unfortunately, the amount of Primordial Crystals one can consume in one epoch is limited; consuming too much, the effectiveness reduces, and can become ineffective.
“Normally, the higher the life level, the weaker the nurturing effect of treasures. But Primordial Crystal continues to be effective,” Luo Feng closed his eyes, began to focus on understanding the materials of the three Ultimate Realm strength Primordial Bloodline Creatures he had acquired.
Time also continued to flow in the cultivation.
…
Since the sparring with Emperor Qing, no one from the Land of Origin has challenged the Galaxy Divine Country again.
The Galaxy Ruler now stands alongside the two country Ancestors, the East Extreme Domain Ancestor, and Emperor Qing! And since the Galaxy Emperor abhors evil, it also made the old beings of the Land of Origin no longer dare to act recklessly. At least devouring billions of creatures, this kind of thing, vanished for a short period.
In an instant, three hundred epochs had passed since the establishment of the Galaxy Divine Country.
That day, an inconspicuous event occurred—’Elder Yuan’ of the Blade River Sect had a breakthrough, becoming a Godly King.
