Chapter 323

Five times the gene level, whose golden horned beast is so heaven-defying?

Human territory.

Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, Qiulong Star.

"Babata".

"This is the Qiulong Star branch? It's really impressive!"

Standing before the majestic, ancient black city wall, Luo Feng looked up and couldn't help but marvel.

The Hongmeng Dojo's Qiulong Star branch... is actually a city!
In terms of area, it is much larger than even the smallest countries on Earth.

"cut!"

"This is nothing!"

Babata's disdainful voice rang out, and he said lazily, "The Qiulong Star Branch is only a Level 4 Branch, and its strongest member is only an Immortal God. You'll know how formidable it is once you go to the Qianwu Branch..."

"Qianwu Branch?"

Luo Feng asked with some confusion.

"Humph!"

"The Qianwu branch is a first-level branch, with a cosmic venerable being in charge."

"Back in the day, my master, who is also your teacher, was one of the big shots who came out of the Qianwu branch."

Babata said with great pride.

"certainly……"

Babata paused, then continued, "The Qianwu branch is not just an ordinary first-level branch; it holds a deeper significance within the Hongmeng Daoist Temple. However, this information involves some secrets of the universe, and your level is too low for you to know them."

"In short, all you need to know is that the Qianwu branch is different from other first-level branches."

Babata said.

"no the same?"

Luo Feng was very puzzled, but he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he strode into the city.

……

On the bustling streets.

Luo Feng, dressed in a black outfit, looked at the bustling crowd of pedestrians with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"I rely on!"

"What a bustling city! And every single pedestrian on the street is at least a star level!"

Luo Feng was quite surprised.

It should be noted that even after he provided the Purple Light Dew to help Earthlings evolve, Earthlings only managed to reach the first level of apprenticeship with all of them.

But here, there are no stars smaller than stellar, and even cosmic ones are quite common.

"Wang! Wang!"

A large, muscular black dog with wings on its back barked menacingly at Luo Feng twice.

In an instant, Luo Feng was stunned.

This dog on the street is actually at the peak of the Stellar level!

"Little Black, stop fooling around!"

A clear, melodious female voice rang out.

Luo Feng turned his head and saw a girl dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a pair of fluffy ears on her head and a soft pink tail swaying behind her slowly walking towards him, holding a red string tied around the neck of a black dog.

"Young man, I'm sorry, I startled you."

The woman's pink eyes fell on Luo Feng, a strange glint flashing in them.

"fine."

Luo Feng frowned, but ultimately said nothing.

"It's good that you're alright."

The woman scrutinized Luo Feng carefully, seemingly trying to remember him, before leading the big black dog away down the street.

"Luo Feng, that person just now was a bit unusual."

"She should be at the peak of the cosmic level, and also a first-level elite member of the Qiulong Star branch."

Babata's voice echoed in my mind.

"Elite member?"

Luo Feng was startled.

"Ah."

Babata nodded and said, "I should have told you before that the Hongmeng Dojo has two major talent cultivation systems: the Hongmeng Grand Competition and the Elite Cultivation System."

"I do know about the HarmonyOS competition."

"The grand competition held by the Qiulongxing branch before was in preparation for the Hongmeng Grand Competition seven years later."

Luo Feng thought to himself.

He has been in contact with cosmic civilizations for about three years and now has a good understanding of some common knowledge about the universe.

The Great Hongmeng Competition, held every three thousand years, is a grand event in the universe.

At that time, the star-level geniuses from all 1311 cosmic kingdoms across the vast territory of the entire human race will compete on this grand stage for the qualification to enter the headquarters of the Hongmeng Dojo.

"The Hongmeng Grand Competition is held only once every three thousand years, and only allows star-level beings under three hundred years old to participate... It cannot encompass all the geniuses in the universe."

"Therefore, some exceptional geniuses who were born at the wrong time will be cultivated and promoted through the elite system."

Babata said.

The elite system applies only to branches of the Hongmeng Dojo and is divided into Special Elite, Level 1 Elite, Level 2 Elite, and Level 3 Elite.

"By becoming an elite member of the Hongmeng Dojo branch, if one has exceptional talent and can advance all the way to the top-tier elite, one will eventually have the opportunity to enter the Hongmeng Dojo headquarters."

Babata said calmly.

"This person in front of me is a first-level elite member, so doesn't that mean he has a very high status in the Qiulong Star branch?"

Luo Feng thought to himself.

"nature."

Babata said, "Let me put it this way: as long as you become a first-level elite member of the Hongmeng Dojo, you have a 30% chance of becoming an immortal god in the future. The remaining 70%... are not because they lack the talent to become immortal, but because they are unlucky and die on the way."

"That's amazing?"

Luo Feng was startled.

Immortality is the ultimate goal pursued by countless martial artists and spiritual practitioners throughout the universe.

Once immortality is attained, one is considered a god and thus possesses an endless lifespan.

Now Babata says that the random passersby he meets on the street may very well become immortal gods in the future!
"Luo Feng, don't underestimate the heroes of the world."

"The universe is vast and boundless, and there are too many monstrous geniuses that you cannot even imagine."

Babata sighed, "Your teacher was pretty awesome, right? But in the end, he still ended up like this. Even in this Qianwu Universe Kingdom, there are quite a few people more powerful than your teacher."

"I see."

Luo Feng nodded, feeling a sense of pressure.

······
To the northeast of the Qiulongxing branch stands a magnificent palace with three large, elegant characters on its plaque: "Hundred Treasures Pavilion".

This is where members of the Hongmeng Dojo exchange treasures. From time to time, one can see people exuding the aura of powerful individuals entering and leaving the Treasure Pavilion.

"Hello, Senior Sister Zhang."

"Senior Sister Zhang."

"Hello, Senior Sister Yilan."

A beautiful woman walked into the Treasure Pavilion, leading a large, fierce-looking black dog on a leash.

Upon seeing this figure, members of the Hongmeng Dojo who were passing by immediately stopped and respectfully stood aside to pay their respects.

"Ah."

Zhang Yilan nodded expressionlessly and walked straight towards the deepest part of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Senior Sister Zhang's Black Netherhound has an even stronger aura than before."

A member of a cosmic-level Hongmeng Daoist sect couldn't help but sigh.

"The Black Hound is a very famous beast in the universe, and its roar contains a soul-shaking force."

"Last time, I was barked at by this black hound and stood there for a long time, unable to recover."

"If it were during a battle... I'm afraid I would perish!"

Another burly man, clad in black armor and exuding an aura of peak cosmic power, was deeply moved, a hint of lingering fear flashing across his face.

"Once the Black Netherhound is trained, it will be extremely powerful."

"It's a pity that we ordinary disciples are barely able to focus on our own cultivation, let alone have the extra resources to train and tame beasts."

A woman dressed in plain clothes shook her head and sighed.

Metallic life forms, plant life forms, tamed beasts… these are things only the wealthy in the universe can afford. "Hmm~"

"That's really strange!"

"It's clearly just a small, star-level creature, yet it didn't react at all to Xiao Hei's roar."

Zhang Yilan walked into a spacious and quiet stone chamber, still thinking about what had happened on the street earlier.

"drop!"

"Zhang Yilan, a Level 1 Elite Member, what would you like to exchange for?"

A beam of blue, transparent light descended from the stone chamber, forming a giant virtual screen in the air.

"Is there only 51 Dojo contribution points left?"

"Sigh! It's simply not enough!"

Zhang Yilan glanced at the balance, her innocent eyes widened, and her two fluffy ears stood up.

"I'm going to create a breakthrough, cosmic-level solution for my Black Netherhound."

Zhang Yilan thought for a moment, then sighed and said.

drop!
Then, beams of purple light descended, enveloping the large black dog, which was over three meters long.

after awhile.

"Black Netherhound, peak stellar level, has three conventional breakthrough schemes and nineteen mutation schemes."

Which one would you like to choose?

The gentle voice rang out again.

Zhang Yilan examined it carefully, and then a deep flutter of excitement flashed in her pink eyes.

All three conventional methods allow Black Hound to break through to the cosmic level normally, only the time taken varies.

The nineteen mutation schemes can cause the Black Hound to undergo targeted mutations, unleashing even more powerful abilities.

However, each of the nineteen variant options is extremely expensive.

"Mutations?"

"It simply can't mutate!"

"I'll choose the mutation option when I have more money in the future."

When Zhang Yilan saw the astonishing amount of contribution points required, she immediately hesitated.

However, she also knew in her heart that the cost of mutating the Black Netherhound when it was weak was actually the lowest.

The cost of undergoing mutation after breaking through to the World Lord level is astronomical.

As for those who break through to immortality and completely transform into a divine body, they will never be able to undergo further mutations.

"Let's choose the standard B-level plan."

"This plan, which takes about three years to enable Xiao Hei to break through to the cosmic level, is already quite good."

Zhang Yilan said softly, ultimately choosing the option with the highest cost-effectiveness.

……

"Babata, is this the Treasure Pavilion you mentioned?"

Luo Feng arrived in front of a towering building, his face full of shock, looking like a country bumpkin visiting the city.

When the members of the Hongmeng Dojo who came and went saw Luo Feng, they just smiled to themselves.

"okay!"

"Go inside quickly!"

Babata sighed, speechless, and said, "Didn't you want to purchase materials for the Golden Horned Beast to break through to the Domain Lord level? Buying them through the Hongmeng Dojo is the cheapest option."

"okay."

Luo Feng nodded quickly and walked into the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

"Member Luo Feng, what items do you need?"

Inside a stone room, a gentle voice rang out.

"I need the items on this list."

Luo Feng took out a list containing many precious metals, some of which were even difficult to buy elsewhere.

These precious metals... are all resources that the Golden Horned Beast needs to consume to break through to the Domain Lord level.

"drop!"

"A total of 10 Hunyuan are needed for all the items on the list."

He spoke in a gentle voice.

"What? It's so expensive!"

Babata screamed instantly, yelling, "Damn it, you're robbing me!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng frowned slightly.

He currently has only thirteen Hunyuan in total, of which ten Hunyuan came from the sale of three fifth-tier weapons, and three Hunyuan were prize money from the grand martial arts competition.

"The Golden Horned Beast broke through to the cosmic level two years ago."

"Logically speaking, breaking through from the cosmic level to the domain lord level does not require so many resources. Even with the best metal combination, two or three Mixed Origin materials would be enough."

Luo Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The problem is that this golden-horned behemoth is not an ordinary golden-horned behemoth at all!

Whose golden-horned behemoth... just broke through to the cosmic level, its life gene level automatically increased to fifty times, and it has a fifty times law compatibility with the three fundamental laws of space, metal, and wood?
"The universe is very fair."

"The more extraordinary something is, the more difficult it is to grow."

Luo Feng thought to himself.

The Golden Horned Beast would normally take a thousand years to evolve from the first level of the Universe level to the first level of the Domain Lord level.

If the optimal metal combination is used, the efficiency can reach 105 times, and it will take a little over nine years to break through to the domain lord level.

However, this plan is also incredibly expensive, costing a total of 12 Hunyuan.

Two years ago, the Golden Horned Beast evolved to the fourth level of the cosmic level, which had already cost two Mixed Yuan units.

If we continue to cultivate using this metal combination, we will need to add another ten mixed units.

"If I spend ten Hunyuan coins on one flower, I'll be completely broke."

Luo Feng pondered to himself.

He spent almost all his funds just cultivating the Golden Horned Beast, and another money-devouring beast, the "Moyun Vine," was still hungry!

"no way!"

"If you have to choose one of the two, you can only choose the Golden Horned Beast first."

Luo Feng made a decision in his heart.

His rapid progress over the years is entirely due to the Golden Horned Beast.

The Golden Horned Beast has reached the cosmic level, and its efficiency in comprehending the laws of space, metal, and wood is fifty times greater.

If one breaks through to the Domain Lord level, the level of life genes can reach eighty times, and the efficiency of comprehending laws will also be higher.

"The faster the Golden Horned Beast breaks through, the better. The sooner it breaks through, the easier it will be for me to comprehend the laws."

"As for the Moyun Vine... there aren't many places where I can actually use it right now."

Luo Feng was very clear-headed.

However, just as he was about to buy the items on the list, he suddenly noticed something.

"Babata".

"I think I still have 100 points of Dojo contribution in my account, which should be enough to exchange for a lot of resources."

Luo Feng said with great surprise.

This contribution to the dojo was a reward for winning the championship in the grand martial arts competition.

Because Luo Feng hadn't been to the Qiulongxing branch for the past three years, he hadn't noticed any of this.

"Luo Feng".

Babata said in a deep voice, "I suggest you don't use these contribution points lightly. Using contribution points to exchange for resources... is not worth it."

You'll understand later.

"Just how precious are the contributions of these temples?"

Babata said.

Luo Feng was slightly taken aback, but then he understood.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Luo Feng nodded and said.

Since Babata has said so, then these contributions from the dojo must have an even more important use. (End of Chapter)
