Chapter 326
Hong and the Thunder God's Opportunity, the Special Organization of the Hongmeng Do
"Big brother, second brother, have you thought this through?"
Luo Feng asked.
He felt heavy-hearted about the decision made by Hong and Thor, but he could only choose to respect it.
In pursuing the path of the strong, others can't offer much help; you have to rely on yourself most of the time.
"I've thought it through long ago!"
Thor said with a smile.
"I discussed this with my second brother six months ago, but you've been in seclusion, so I only have the chance to tell you now."
Hong had a gentle smile on his face and appeared very calm.
Luo Feng nodded silently.
indeed.
Over the years, he has devoted himself to martial arts training, and although his progress has been remarkable, he has unknowingly distanced himself from many people.
Family, brothers, friends...
Luo Feng felt a little guilty. Thinking back carefully, it seemed that the last time he had a meal with his family was half a year ago.
"Big brother, second brother, I wish you a safe journey as you embark on your space exploration."
"I have some connection with Lord Zhang Yang of the Qiulong Star branch of the Hongmeng Dojo. If I encounter a life-or-death crisis, I can mention his name."
Luo Feng paused for a moment, then continued, "In addition, I will give each of you one hundred billion universe coins, which is enough for your daily cultivation needs."
"Three sons, one hundred billion cosmic coins is a bit too much!"
"We are going to the universe to undergo trials, not to enjoy ourselves."
Hong frowned and said softly.
Although he and Thor have been staying on Earth all these years, they have learned a lot about the universe through the Nine Towers.
A Grade A Force potion costs one billion Qianwu coins, making it a luxury that most star-level beings cannot afford.
This 100 billion cosmic coins... is equivalent to 330,000 Class A Force potions.
Without considering domains, laws, or bottlenecks, this many potions are enough for him and Thor to cultivate to the peak of the Domain Lord level.
"Brother, the dangers of the universe are incomparable to those on Earth. Without some means of survival, you never know when you might get yourself killed."
"This money is not for your daily cultivation, but for you to purchase some life-saving measures."
Luo Feng said with a smile.
How perilous is the universe?
On Earth, a stellar-level force is already the pinnacle of military power, capable of destroying an entire nation by a single individual.
But in the universe, it might not even be as valuable as a dog on the street.
"In that case, we'll accept it."
Both Hong and Thor nodded.
Although they didn't receive the same kind of training as Luo Feng after joining the Meteorite Star lineage, they at least had no shortage of basic cultivation resources and secret manuals. Babata would occasionally take the time to guide their cultivation. The only thing they lacked was a means of survival.
"Big brother, second brother, what are your plans after you leave Earth?"
Luo Feng put down his teacup and looked at the two of them, asking a question.
"Third brother."
Hong pondered for a moment and said, "My second brother and I were cultivating in the Nine Towers Realm when we were appreciated by a great man from the Hongmeng Dojo. He personally invited us to join the 'Purple Cloud Branch' of the Hongmeng Dojo."
"The Purple Cloud Branch?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng frowned immediately.
"Babata, go and investigate this Ziyun branch."
Luo Feng thought to himself.
"Luo Feng".
After a while, Babata's voice rang out, saying, "I couldn't find any information about the Ziyun branch in the virtual network."
"Can't find it?"
Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "What's going on? Could it be that someone is impersonating someone from the Hongmeng Daoist Temple?"
"How is that possible!"
"Luo Feng, you're ignorant, so don't talk nonsense."
Babata glared and quickly said, "Do you think all the powerful figures in the Hongmeng Dojo are pushovers? Who would dare to impersonate a staff member of the Hongmeng Dojo?"
"What happened?"
"There is no such place as the Purple Cloud Branch in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom!"
Luo Feng said with a frown.
"Luo Feng, there are many things about the Hongmeng Dojo that you don't know about."
"I suspect that the Ziyun branch may be involved in some secrets of the universe and is one of the branches of the Hongmeng Dojo that is not open to the public."
Babata said calmly.
"Not to be disclosed to the public?"
Luo Feng looked puzzled.
"Correct."
Babata said solemnly, “The Hongmeng Dojo doesn’t have all its branches on inhabited planets. There are also some special branches, either suppressing a secret realm or guarding a vital area… These special branches are often unknown to outsiders and are very mysterious. Your teacher had contact with many such branches back then, such as the Heavenly Eclipse Branch, the Demonic Sound Branch, and the Star Prison Branch. These branches have a small number of personnel, but their responsibilities are heavy, and the average strength of their members is also much stronger. It is said that even the weakest among them is an immortal god.”
"Babata, now that you mention it, could these special branches be hiding a major crisis?"
Luo Feng was startled.
"What do you know!"
"On the path to becoming a strong person, how can you avoid danger? Don't forget, great crises also breed great opportunities!"
"If you hadn't risked your life to possess the Golden Horned Beast, how could you have achieved what you have today?"
Babata, hands on his hips, said excitedly, "Luo Feng, your eldest and second eldest brothers have struck it lucky! They've been noticed by big shots in the special division... Their future achievements are limitless."
"Is that so?"
Luo Feng muttered to himself, momentarily stunned.
He never expected that his two older brothers, who usually cultivated quietly in the Nine Towers Realm, would encounter important figures from a special branch.
More importantly, this important figure personally invited Hong and Thor, clearly showing that he valued them highly.
“These special branches are different from ordinary branches. Generally speaking, they do not recruit geniuses, but instead send strong people directly from headquarters.”
"However, there are always exceptions. If some important figures happen to encounter a genius they take a liking to while traveling through the universe, they will make an exception and bring him back to the branch."
"Although... the training process in this special division is often quite dangerous."
Babata said.
Back then, Hu Yanbo was at least a King of Immortality. Although he wasn't considered a high-ranking member of the Hongmeng Daoist Academy, he still had access to quite a lot of things.
Ziyun Branch...
Although I had never heard of Babata, I could vaguely guess that it was related to a special secret realm in the universe.
"Luo Feng, stop thinking about it."
"They chose their own path, and their future depends entirely on their own destiny."
Babata's tone was very calm.
His incredibly long lifespan allowed him to witness countless conflicts and legends in the universe, so the encounters with Hong and Thor did not surprise him much.
……
Three days later.
China, late at night.
Outside the Jiangnan base city, in the wilderness, a gentle evening breeze rustled through the forests covering the mountains and fields.
Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen stood atop the high mountain, their robes fluttering in the wind, their expressions filled with sighs.
"In the end, I have to leave my hometown."
Hong sighed softly.
"After this parting, I don't know when I will be able to return."
Thor, unusually, put away his playful demeanor and adopted a serious expression.
Luo Feng looked at Hong and Lei Shen, raised his teacup, and said resolutely, "Big Brother, Second Brother, I wish you a safe journey and that you will achieve eternity!" "Haha!"
"it is good!"
Hong and Thor exchanged a glance, then laughed heartily and said loudly, "I hope that many years from now, the three of us brothers will reunite and become renowned powerhouses in the universe!"
After saying this, the three brothers drank the tea in one gulp instead of wine.
Everything is unspoken, all is contained in the cup!
boom!
A moment later, a silver-white C9-class spaceship broke free from Earth's gravity and headed into the vast depths of space.
"My eldest and second eldest brothers have both gone to pursue their own paths to becoming strong, and I cannot slack off either."
Luo Feng's eyes were clear as he watched Hong and Lei Shen depart, his heart as calm as a still lake.
He could sense that his state of mind had changed, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what had changed.
"Babata, go back."
"I seem to have gained some new insights into the laws of space."
······
C9 class spacecraft.
Hong and Thor stood in the control room, activated the 100% panoramic simulation, and watched the beautiful blue Earth recede further and further away until it could no longer be seen.
"Second brother, do you regret making this decision?"
Hong asked.
When that person personally recruited the two of them, he had already explained that going to the Ziyun branch would lead to rapid progress, but would also expose them to more crises.
"regret?"
Thor shook his head and smiled calmly, "Brother, have you forgotten how many life-and-death trials we've gone through since the Great Nirvana? Have you ever regretted it?"
Hong remained silent, simply nodding slightly.
Both he and Thor are people with extremely high mental fortitude on Earth, and they are not easily influenced by external factors.
"Now that we've decided to go to the Purple Cloud Secret Realm, strength is the most important thing from now on."
"There's no need for the two of us to stay at the stellar level any longer."
Hong was dressed in white, and his voice was calm yet contained power.
Three years ago, the two had already reached the peak of the Stellar level and had both comprehended the Domain, and could break through to the Universe level at any time.
However, at that time, the two were still thinking about participating in the Hongmeng Grand Competition, so they remained at the star level.
"Looking back now, going to the Ziyun branch might not have been a bad thing."
"Otherwise, with our abilities, even if we participated in the Hongmeng Grand Competition, we probably wouldn't achieve good results."
Thor said with a smile.
There are too many geniuses and prodigies in the universe nowadays; even domain-level geniuses are nothing special.
The Qiulong Star branch alone can find hundreds of domain-level geniuses, and the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region is estimated to have tens of thousands.
Not to mention that across the 13,000 star regions of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, there are countless geniuses at the domain level.
Those who do not understand the laws are nothing but ants.
Ten days later.
The silver-white spaceship landed on a deserted mineral planet.
wow~
The side of the spaceship opened, and Hong and Thor stepped out side by side.
At this moment, both of them have reached the first level of the cosmic level, making them significant figures in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.
"That's strange."
"Wasn't it supposed to be the Purple Cloud Branch of the Hongmeng Dojo? Why are you acting like it's something shameful, meeting in this godforsaken place?"
Thor touched his shiny bald head and said with great confusion.
Hong also looked puzzled.
Logically speaking, a force as large as the Hongmeng Daoist Temple, with branches spread across all inhabited planets in human territory, wouldn't need to be so secretive.
"I have already sent an email to that person."
"Let's wait a bit."
Hong said with a frown.
"Okay, I'll listen to my older brother."
Thor sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a Grade A Force potion, and began to cultivate.
After breaking through to the cosmic level, a martial artist's body becomes even stronger, capable of containing more cosmic primal energy, and the demand for primal force potions also increases.
If you want to improve at the fastest speed, you can take one Grade A Force potion a day and reach the ninth level of the Universe in fifty years.
However, most universe-level powerhouses wouldn't dare to be so extravagant.
One a day, that's over 18,000 a day for fifty years, with a total value of nearly six billion cosmic coins.
Many powerful beings at the cosmic level might not even have a fraction of this amount of money.
This shows just how enormous the 100 billion cosmic coins Luo Feng gave them truly were.
Time flies.
Unbeknownst to them, the two brothers had been waiting on this desolate planet for months.
"I rely on!"
"Big brother, is that Lord 'Honghe' playing a trick on us?"
"Three months have passed, and there hasn't been a single reply!"
Thor's eyes widened, and he said with some displeasure.
"Second brother, be patient."
Hong, however, remained calm and said, "Lord Honghe is an immortal powerhouse. Perhaps he has encountered some emergency and is unable to spare the time to pick us up."
"Row!"
Thor scratched his head and cheek, then continued to sit cross-legged and cultivate.
Then, several more months passed.
轰~
An invisible pressure emanated from Thor and spread outwards, stirring up rolling waves of dust and air.
Thor slowly opened his eyes, a bitter smile on his lips: "Big brother, I've already broken through to the second level of the cosmic level, why haven't the people from the Purple Cloud branch arrived yet?"
By relying on A-grade source energy potions for cultivation, it only takes as little as fifty years to go from the first level of the universe level to the ninth level of the universe level.
Of these, the first to third stages take the shortest time, averaging one stage per year, for a total of three years.
From the second to the sixth order, it takes an average of six years to advance one order, for a total of eighteen years;
The process from the seventh to the ninth rank takes the longest, averaging ten years per rank, totaling less than thirty years.
Thor's breakthrough from the first to the second level of the cosmic level indicates that they have been waiting on this planet for a full year.
"This……"
"Could it be that the people at the Ziyun branch have forgotten about the two of us?"
At this moment, even Hong couldn't help but show a hint of doubt on his face.
Rumble~
Just as the two were filled with doubt, a huge spaceship slowly descended onto the planet's surface.
This spaceship is entirely dark blue, its hull resembling a sharp sword, approximately three thousand meters long and three hundred meters wide, its surface covered with dense, mysterious patterns.
Hong and Thor watched the spaceship slowly descend, both speechless with shock.
This spaceship seemed to have a life of its own, radiating a terrifying aura that compelled all living beings to worship it.
creak~
The spaceship hatch opened, and a tall, imposing man strode out, clad in golden armor with a curved horn on his forehead.
He exuded the aura of a peak Realm Lord, with a mark of the Law of Gold on his forehead, and his golden armor was dazzling and extraordinary, most likely a precious fifth-order Force armor.
However, there was a shocking, narrow crack on the abdomen of the armor, from which wisps of black smoke were emanating.
"You two are Hong and Thor?"
The man in golden armor glanced at the two of them indifferently.
"Yes."
Both Hong and Thor nodded.
Although the person in front of them was not the Lord Honghe they had contacted before, they were certain that this person was no weaker than Honghe.
"Come with me into the spaceship."
The golden-armored man remained indifferent, turning and walking towards the spaceship. He then added, "By the way, once you arrive at the Purple Cloud branch, don't bother looking for Hong He, who recruited you. He's already fallen." (End of Chapter)
