Chapter 363 Luo Feng Inherits the Star Tower!
"The Mountain Dweller!"
Luo Feng was slightly surprised.
He had naturally heard of this powerful alien being who created Earth, and even suspected that the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" he cultivated was created by this powerful being.
To be honest, although he was surprised that Chen Yuan had become the disciple of Zuo Shan Ke, it was still within his expectations. After all, the entire Earth was created by Zuo Shan Ke, so it was normal for him to take Earthlings as his disciples.
However, the fact that the Star Tower was also related to this powerful figure was beyond Luo Feng's expectations.
According to the information he had gathered, the Star Tower had stood on the battlefield outside the domain for countless epochs before Chen Yuan took it away, and all races in the universe believed that this treasure was formed through the creation of the primordial universe.
Unexpectedly, the Star Tower is related to the Mountain-Sitting Guest. Could it be that he created it?
Luo Feng quickly found the answer to this question.
"You're right."
It wasn't Chen Yuan who spoke, but the Mountain Hermit. He shook his head and sighed, "The Star Tower is indeed a treasure I crafted back then. It's just a pity that the conditions for this treasure to recognize its master are too harsh. Throughout countless eras in the entire primordial universe, it has been difficult to find an existence capable of controlling the Star Tower."
"That is why I brought forth the lineage of Earth—"
With the explanation from the Mountain Guest, Luo Feng finally understood the origin of Earth. It turned out that everything was for finding a successor for the Star Tower!
Luo Feng then looked at Chen Yuan, a hint of understanding in his eyes: "So, Chen Yuan, the Nine Hell Tower trial you prepared for me was so that I could inherit the Star Tower?"
"That's right."
Chen Yuan nodded with a smile, "The requirements for recognizing a master in the Star Tower are extremely demanding. At the World Lord level, one needs the will of a Universe Venerable to have any hope, and at the Immortal level, one even needs the will of a Universe Lord."
"You are now at the peak of the Realm Lord, so according to the rules of the recognition ceremony, only by reaching the will of a high-level universe venerable can you successfully complete the recognition ceremony."
"This is also why I set up the Nine Hell Tower trial for you."
"I see." At this moment, Luo Feng finally understood the cause and effect, but there was still one thing he didn't understand, so he asked, "But Chen Yuan, don't you already control the Star Tower? Why are you still training me as your successor?"
After all, this was an extremely powerful treasure, and he really couldn't understand why Chen Yuan would give it up so decisively.
"Because the Star Tower isn't very useful to me."
Chen Yuan smiled and explained, "My Origin Palace is also an extremely powerful treasure, and like the Star Tower, it is a flying palace. Moreover, after my adjustments, the Origin Palace is even more functional."
"Therefore, I do not need a second flying palace treasure."
"Moreover, I only became your disciple by chance, and even the Star Tower was only recognized as my master after my will broke through."
At this point, Chen Yuan paused before continuing, "Actually, Luo Feng, you are the one that Master Zuoshanke is secretly cultivating. I just happened to be there."
"What?"
Luo Feng smiled slightly, pointed to himself, and said, "Me?"
"Of course," Chen Yuan said with a smile, "Otherwise, how do you think you would have happened to obtain the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, and how could it have been so perfectly suited for your cultivation?"
Luo Feng was taken aback again, and after a long while, he said with a wry smile, "So you even know this."
He always regarded the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual as his greatest secret, after all, such a secret method that could break through the laws of the universe was obviously extraordinary.
Although he had speculated that the Nine Tribulations Manual might be related to the powerful figure behind Earth after learning that the Mountain-Sitting Guest was the one behind the Earth, it now seems that this connection has been definitively confirmed.
I never expected that even Chen Yuan would find out.
"As the teacher's third disciple, I naturally know these secrets." Chen Yuan smiled faintly. "That's why, when I learned from the teacher that you were the original candidate for training, I chose to help you out."
"After all, you're going to be my junior brother."
"So that's how it is." Luo Feng couldn't help but shake his head, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated.
Good heavens, this junior from Earth has suddenly become my senior brother. How can this be justified?
"What Chen Yuan said is mostly correct. You are indeed the third disciple I originally planned to have."
At this moment, the mountain dweller smiled and said, "My encounter with Chen Yuan was indeed unexpected. There was nothing I could do; his talent was too great, so great that I couldn't help but be moved and took him under my wing, making him my third disciple."
"As for the Star Tower, it was indeed prepared for you, just as he said."
"However, after Chen Yuan broke through his will, he also met the requirements of the Star Tower, so I couldn't help but let him recognize this treasure as his own first."
"However," the Mountain-Sitting Guest said, shaking his head, "this kid actually refused at first, saying that the Star Tower was useless to him."
"Fortunately, Chen Yuan was interested in the art of refining treasures. I used the secret runes of the Star Tower as a lure, which made him agree to the Star Tower recognizing him as its master."
"Of course, we also agreed that as long as my original disciple meets the requirements for recognizing a master, that will be the time for him to give up the Star Tower."
"That's why he's put so much effort into nurturing you all these years, Luo Feng."
Hearing this, Luo Feng finally had an answer to a question that had been bothering him for a long time: why Chen Yuan took such good care of him.
Whether it was supporting the "Rent Earth" project or preparing the Nine Hell Tower trials for him, it clearly went beyond the scope of a "friend".
It now seems that everything the other party did was to help him grow stronger so that he could meet the requirements for inheriting the Star Tower.
Of course, whatever Chen Yuan's purpose, the favor he received was genuine, so Luo Feng's gratitude towards him would not diminish as a result.
"Thank you so much for all these years, Chen Yuan," Luo Feng said solemnly.
"It's nothing." Chen Yuan waved his hand. "Now that you know the whole story, prepare to complete the recognition ceremony in peace."
"Only when you successfully inherit the Star Tower will you be considered a formal disciple of your teacher."
"Understood." Luo Feng nodded emphatically, without saying anything about refusing to become an apprentice.
Even without mentioning the Star Tower, just the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" alone was enough to make him feel immense gratitude towards the other party. In addition, given the other party's status as the progenitor of Earth, he naturally had no objection to becoming his disciple.
With a thought, Chen Yuan saw a crystal-clear pillar appear before him. "This is the Tower Bead, the control core of the entire Star Tower."
Chen Yuan explained, "I have released the Star Tower from its mastery. You can now try to refine this tower bead. During the refining process, you will be impacted by the will of the Star Tower."
"But don't worry, with your high-level Venerable will, you can successfully pass the test of willpower."
"Understood." Luo Feng nodded, and just as he was about to take the tower bead, he suddenly asked, "By the way, how long does it take for the Star Tower to recognize its master?"
"That depends on two situations."
Chen Yuan explained, "The main reason is that the total amount of will contained in the tower beads is fixed, so one way is to slowly release these wills and consume the stored will over a very long period of time."
"The advantage of this is that the intensity of the will you receive most of the time is not high. At the beginning, it may be equivalent to the Immortal level. It will only rise to the Universe Venerable level after the recognition process is halfway through."
"How long will this take?" Luo Feng asked.
"You were recognized as a master during the era of the Realm Lord, which is estimated to be around six thousand years in total."
Chen Yuan said.
"Six thousand years is too long." Luo Feng frowned slightly. He had only cultivated for a little over two thousand years so far.
It takes six thousand years for a Star Tower to recognize a master?
"Is there a shorter way?" Luo Feng asked directly.
"Of course there is," Chen Yuan said. "That is to directly widen the channel through which the tower bead releases its will, so that the maximum impact of will can be achieved in a very short time."
"If you do it this way, you will only need one or two hundred years to complete the recognition of the master. Of course, the price is that the Star Tower will be kept at maximum impact power during this period, which is the will of a high-level Venerable."
"Only one or two hundred years?" Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "I choose the second option."
A shock to the will of a high-level Venerable who has been around for one or two hundred years? In his eyes, it was nothing at all.
You should know that when he completed the ninth level trial of the Nine Hell Tower, he was also at the level of a high-level Venerable, and it took him a full nine thousand years to finish!
In Luo Feng's view, the test set by Chen Yuan was even more perverse than that of the Star Tower.
He even managed to withstand the Nine Hell Tower, so why would he care about the mere Star Tower?
"Okay." Chen Yuan lightly tapped the pagoda bead with his fingertip, then said, "Alright, refine it as soon as possible."
"Um."
Luo Feng nodded, then took the tower bead and instantly integrated it into his body.
The next second, a sharp, intense pain surged from deep within his body, yet Luo Feng remained unfazed, even raising an eyebrow and remarking, "This feeling is only equivalent to the will of a beginner Venerable. Wasn't it supposed to be the greatest impact?"
"I'm talking about reaching that point in a very short time," Chen Yuan explained. "Don't worry, the Star Tower's will impact will reach its maximum in less than three years at most."
"understood."
Luo Feng closed his eyes and focused his mind on the interior of the primordial core.
The Star Tower's trials were not difficult for him, and he shouldn't waste this time, so he would use it to study the laws.
It just so happens that for the past few hundred years, he mainly relied on the Nine Prisons Tower to accelerate his cultivation of secret techniques. Now that his Beast God Intent is much stronger than before, it is much more efficient to go back and study the laws.
Seeing that Luo Feng's ceremony of recognizing him as his master had begun, Chen Yuan said to the Mountain Guest, "Master, I'll leave Luo Feng here to you. I've reached a crucial moment in my cultivation, so I won't wait here any longer."
"Okay, go ahead."
The Mountain Guest nodded, a smile on his face: "You've done a good job training Luo Feng over the years. With his willpower, he can indeed successfully make the Star Tower recognize its master."
"I'll keep an eye on things here, you just go about your business."
"Goodbye, teacher." Chen Yuan bowed slightly and then turned to leave the Star Tower space.
He did not lie to the mountain dweller, because his cultivation had indeed reached its most critical moment.
After years of continuous efforts, Chen Yuan's sorting out of his own laws is nearing completion, and it will only take a maximum of two hundred years to finish.
No, perhaps it won't even take two hundred years, because in recent years he has also obtained some true secret runes through practicing the Refining Treasure Technique, and after transformation, he has embedded some of the runes into the secret technique "Extreme Point Sword Light".
Therefore, the power of the Extreme Point Sword Aura secret technique has increased significantly. If it was considered to be at the initial stage of the eighth rank when it was first created, then now this secret technique is at least comparable to the mid-stage of the eighth rank.
For this reason, the laws surrounding Chen Yuan were once again sorted out by the aura of the secret technique. Although the effect was far less obvious than when the technique was created, it still saved several decades of time.
"Perhaps I'll finish before Luo Feng and advance to the Universe Venerable realm ahead of time."
The thought flashed through Chen Yuan's mind, and then he continued to sort out the few scattered laws.
After the two brothers began their immersive seclusion, time seemed to be accelerated, and 120 years passed quickly.
In the end, Luo Feng was one step ahead and completed the recognition ceremony first.
Inside the Star Tower, Chen Yuan, having received the news, rushed over and said to Luo Feng, "Congratulations on successfully inheriting this supreme treasure."
"From now on, you are my fourth junior brother."
He smiled slightly.
"Woolen cloth-"
Hearing this address, Luo Feng still felt uneasy and couldn't help but scratch his head.
However, he didn't dwell on it for too long. After all, the most accomplished comes first. Since Chen Yuan had already become his disciple, he would naturally become his senior brother. So Luo Feng first bowed to the Mountain Guest: "Luo Feng greets his teacher."
After saying that, he turned to Chen Yuan and said, "Greetings, Third Senior Brother."
The mountain dweller chuckled, quite pleased with himself after acknowledging Luo Feng as his disciple.
In the end, just like in the original story, he offered an ordinary treasure, the "Starry Sky Preaching Map," as a gift for becoming his disciple.
As for Chen Yuan, he smiled slightly: "Since you call me senior brother, I will naturally reciprocate."
"Senior Brother Chen Yuan, you don't need to," Luo Feng quickly waved his hand. "You've helped me so much, how could I possibly accept your things?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Chen Yuan chuckled. "What, don't you want the rest of the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent?"
Primordial Spirit Sword Intent?!
Upon hearing that it was this secret technique, Luo Feng immediately abandoned all pretense of modesty and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes! Of course I want it!"
Chen Yuan laughed and took out a large box, tossing it over: "Take it, this is the complete set of Yuan Shen Sword Intent, consider it a gift from your senior brother."
Luo Feng took the box and examined it. He was surprised to find that the complete Primordial Spirit Sword Intent could be used directly at the level of the strongest beings in the universe. He exclaimed with delight, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"
worth it!
For Luo Feng, simply calling him "Senior Brother" and receiving the complete set of Yuan Shen Sword Intent was an incredible stroke of luck.
For the sake of this secret technique, he stopped worrying about their seniority. Junior brother it is then; getting the benefits is what matters.
"Don't thank me yet."
Chen Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "This is just a first gift."
"The first one?" Luo Feng chuckled. Could there be more to come?
Then Chen Yuan took out another vessel, which contained a bright red liquid, as red as blood.
"What is this?" Luo Feng looked at the blood-red liquid with curiosity. It looked like blood, but also somewhat like seawater.
"As far as I know, the Golden Horned Beast can spawn three clones in its lifetime: a planetary-level clone, a cosmic-level clone, and a world lord-level clone."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "I guess you haven't used your World Lord-level clone slot yet."
"Yes." Luo Feng nodded, his gaze lingering thoughtfully on the blood-red liquid: "Could it be—."
"That's right, this is the second gift I prepared for you."
Chen Yuan pointed to the liquid in the vessel and said, "It's a clone material called the Nine Nether Sea."
