Chapter 1162: Pu Ti’s Ambition

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the godly palace, seven universe masters sat around the round table.

“We all come from Tilted Peak Sector to see you, knowing you were here.”

Remote Lord Master smiled. Both of them were of the bloodline of Teacher Origin. One was a disciple of Darkness Master, and the other was a disciple of Primal Chaos City Leader, so they were naturally close.

Luo Feng looked around. “Peng Gong Master, Absolute Darkness Master, Firestone Master, Roach Prison Master… Thanks for welcoming me here.”

“This is the first time you entered Universe Ocean. We surely need to welcome you here.” Peng Gong Master stroked his beard and smiled. “Some universe masters entered the water area or internal area of Tilted Peak Sector. It’ll take them at least 100 years—sometimes even an era—to fly out, as they need to dodge the dangerous places, which is why they’re not here.”

Luo Feng nodded. The more dangerous the place was, the more cautious he needed to be when teleporting.

“It’s the first time Luo Feng has entered Universe Ocean, so, according to the tradition…” Primal Chaos City Leader waved his hands, and wine cups showed up in front of all the universe masters. There was already wine in them. Primal Chaos City Leader smiled and said to his disciple, “Milky Way Horde Leader, we wish for you to have endless true treasures and eternal life!”

The other five universe masters followed: “Endless true treasures, eternal life.”

Luo Feng nodded. “Endless true treasures and eternal life.”

He knew about this tradition as well. After all, it would be a real adventure in Universe Ocean. Even universe masters with multiple bodies could die! Even universe supreme masters could be killed! Nobody could say for sure that they could survive! They could only avoid those places that were too dangerous.

Without a doubt, it was an adventure in Universe Ocean! And they were all there for valuables.

“Milky Way Horde Leader, although we wish you endless true treasures and eternal life, I have some warnings to give you,” said Firestone Master.

Luo Feng raised his eyebrow and smiled. “Please go on, Firestone Master.” He’d heard that Firestone Master was stubborn and straightforward.

Firestone Master’s voice resounded in the palace. “You power is enough to see the outer area of Tilted Peak Sector with other universe masters. However, it’s not enough to adventure alone and get true treasures. The universe supreme masters from the first universe era are all maniacs. If you meet one of them, you might die! Of course, you have multiple bodies, but the true treasures with your human body might be gone. I think your true treasures are highly valuable.”

Luo Feng shook his head. It was indeed true that this Firestone Master was forthright. He knew he was not strong enough, but it was unnecessary to be so frank.

“That’s right,” said Remote Lord Master. “The great beings from the first universe era are mad. They might haunt you to death.”

“We can’t really blame them,” said Absolute Darkness Master. “There were generations of incarnations in the universe. Even if they can survive the big bang of the original universe, a great being can live, at most, for three incarnations,. When the time has come, all the great beings of the first universe era will die, including universe supreme masters.”

“That’s right, three eras at most.”

“Just look at those broken miniature universes, and you’ll know how many universe supreme masters have died. Almost nobody can live for more than three incarnations.”

“Except the two sanctuaries.”

“Those are only two universes.”

Luo Feng nodded. There were indeed lots of mysteries in Universe Ocean. Why three incarnations only? And why were the two sanctuaries the exceptions?

How large was Universe Ocean? How many small universes were there in Universe Ocean? How many dangerous places were there? How many Lands of Extremis were there? Were there only three Lands of Extremis? Could there be a fourth Land of Extremis aside from the Tilted Peak Sector, Flowing Countless Mountains, and Universe Boat?

“The first universe era faces extinction,” said Primal Chaos City Leader. “So they train themselves with madness. Without a doubt, you can only break the circle if you get stronger! After all, the two sanctuaries succeeded, so nobody wants to give up. Luo Feng, you need to watch out for the great beings of the first universe era.”

“Yes, teacher.” Luo Feng nodded.

“Not only those from the first universe era,” said Firestone Master. “You need to mark down all those top-tier universe masters. You need to avoid them, and the two sanctuaries. You need to avoid everyone from the two sanctuaries. You’re nothing compared to them.”

Luo Feng frowned.

“I know you’re upset now, but this is for us of the Hong Alliance,” said Firestone Master. “If you run into danger, report it to the virtual universe, and the virtual universe system will tell all the great beings in the Hong Alliance. Great beings closest to you will get there as soon as possible.”

“I understand.” Luo Feng nodded his head without saying anything further.

He was indeed a bit displeased, but he didn’t defend himself against anything. He wanted to prove himself with his accomplishments.

Soon, Remote Lord Master, Peng Gong Master, Absolute Darkness Master, Firestone Master, and Roach Prison Master left the palace and started to adventure through Tilted Peak Sector.

Roach Prison Master and Firestone Master were talking in the space of the outer area of Tilted Peak Sector.

“Firestone, why were you so mean just now? Luo Feng isn’t that weak.”

“Why? Why do I have to be less mean? Just because of Primal Chaos City Leader? Besides, I wasn’t wrong.” Firestone Master’s nose exhaled fire. “Luo Feng fought Master of Banff before. Master of Banff is good at illusions and bad at material attack, and he doesn’t even have a supreme technique. How did Luo Feng do? He was suppressed, and he could barely rival Master of Banff with that miniature universe.”

“That miniature universe killed all those universe knights with one shot,” Roach Prison Master said.

“Humph! He can only kill the weaker ones,” said Firestone Master. “A miniature universe is like a domain type true treasure. It can only kill the weak, but what about the strong? It can only aid, and that kind of supreme technique requires a lot of energy. It consumes godly power, and it can only add some power. Even so, he only has material attack skills equivalent to Master of Banff. Without that miniature universe, anyone can crush him.”

Firestone Master was breathing fire again as he continued, “Humph! I was being too nice. He is one of the weakest. Those ancient guys from the first universe era are all mad, and everyone from the two sanctuaries can crush him. Was I wrong? If he dies, the true treasures will be seized. How long has he practiced? The true treasures might be bestowed by the human race. We have to make great efforts to get a good universe master, yet he has so many after just becoming a universe master. Just wait and see. He’ll be crushed.”

“Yes, he is indeed weak.” Roach Prison Master lowered his giant head.

“Humph!” said Firestone Master. “He’s human, so his teacher Primal Chaos City Leader will go rescue him every time he’s in danger. Without his teacher, he’ll definitely be killed in Tilted Peak Sector.”

Only Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader were left in the palace.

“Luo Feng, I’ll go adventure, as well,” said Primal Chaos City Leader. “Contact me through the virtual universe.”

“Yes, teacher.” Luo Feng nodded.

“Okay.” Primal Chaos City Leader glanced at Luo Feng, smiled, and disappeared.

Luo Feng looked back to the godly palace. He was the only one here now. It seemed that great beings in Universe Ocean were indeed sharpening themselves.

“I need to study the information on Tilted Peak Sector and great beings.”

On a rock outside the godly palace, Luo Feng closed his eyes with his legs crossed and started to organize the information and highlight the important parts.

******

Hua!

The rocks were flying at a speed several times the speed of light, but Luo Feng looked tranquil. He didn’t rush to adventure the outer area of Tilted Peak Sector.

“Huh?” Luo Feng took a token out. “Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest is contacting me? No wonder it’s a true treasure communications token. I can make contact even in Universe Ocean.” Luo Feng penetrated the token with a trace of his mind.

“Luo Feng, are you in Universe Ocean?” Sitting Mountain Guest passed on a piece of information.

“Yes,” answered Luo Feng.

“Which Lands of Extremis?” asked Sitting Mountain Guest.

“Tilted Peak Sector. How do you know I am in one of the Lands of Extremis?”

“Because they have the most true treasures. Where else would you go? Some remote and dangerous places with few valuables? The human race is not stupid. Okay, if you run into danger, you can call for help, but I hope you won’t do so.”

“I understand,” answered Luo Feng.

****** action

Universe Ocean, deep in the chaos airflow, in a dangerous place known as “Bei Hua Xue Lan Domain.”

A palace was floating. There were servants in the palaces; all of them were universe knights. This was where Sitting Mountain Guest really lived, and Bei Hua Xue Lan Domain represented him.

There were almost 100 powers in Universe Ocean, but no power wanted to mess with Sitting Mountain Guest. Everyone knew he was a handful.

Inside the palace, a towering elder sat on the throne, and a human with a snake’s tail and a human body was serving him.

“Haha, Pu Ti, your little brother entered Universe Ocean as well,” Sitting Mountain Guest’s voice rumbled.

“Congratulations, teacher,” said Pu Ti.

“It’s too early to congratulate me now. He’s not powerful enough.” Sitting Mountain Guest looked down at Pu Ti. “Pu Ti, you’ve been following me the longest, so you know me the best. Your second brother disappoints me, so I have almost given up on him now. You’re the most hard-working one, but I know that Luo Feng has the greatest potential, followed by your second brother. You have the least potential, but now, you’re the strongest.”

Pu Ti bowed. “I’ve been practicing for the longest time, and I’ve been by your side. I’ve seen a lot, so I comprehended more.”

He was low-key and never showed off. Even Flame Emperor looked down on Pu Ti, as he only viewed him as a servant. He didn’t know that Pu Ti had surpassed him.

“I’ll give you a chance. The same chance your second and third brother have. Go to Universe Ocean.” Sitting Mountain Guest looked at Pu Ti and took out a piece of blue wood. “I can’t give you the true treasure that suits you best, so I’ll give you this strange object. Godly wood… I’ve had it for an eternity, but I just view it as a collectible. You should be able to wield its power.”

Pu Ti’s godly body trembled. The same chance his second and third brother had? He’d been waiting for this for so long.

“Yes, teacher, I’ll try my best not to disappoint you.” Pu Ti bowed, but his voice was filled with faith.

Sitting Mountain Guest nodded. “Go.”

Pu Ti bowed again before leaving the palace.

Sitting Mountain Guest looked through the palace door ward Tilted Peak Sector in the distance, and he said slowly, “I’ve been waiting for too long…”
