Chapter 328
Several years later, each has a great opportunity.
Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, Thunder Realm Lord World.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several golden streaks of light pierced the sky, striking the earth like heavy missiles.
As the smoke and dust cleared, a lean man with short black hair, dressed in a black Force suit, slowly walked out.
Behind him, the corpses of monsters were piled up on the ground like small mountains.
"Luo Feng, a total of twelve 'Qiluo Beasts', including three fourth-order cosmic-level beasts and nine peak stellar-level beasts, which no longer exhibit any signs of life."
Babata said in a relaxed tone.
Luo Feng nodded, his cold and stern face remaining expressionless.
swoosh~
A golden light flashed by, and the single horn on the foreheads of the twelve Qiluo Beasts was severed one by one, and Luo Feng put them into his spatial ring.
"It's done!"
Babata said with a smile, "Luo Feng, as long as you return to Qiulong Star and successfully hand over the mission, you'll get 50 Dojo contribution points."
"50 contribution points."
Luo Feng pursed his lips, seemingly unconcerned.
"Hmph! Don't be so unsatisfied!"
"Once you enter the core layer of the Hongmeng Dojo, you won't have such an easy opportunity to earn contribution points."
Babata crossed his arms and said angrily.
For members outside the Hongmeng Dojo, contribution points can only be exchanged for some common resources in the universe, which are not actually very valuable.
However, once you become a core member, you have the authority to exchange for some real treasures. One contribution can be comparable to a Hunyuan, or even dozens of Hunyuan!
Fifty contributions will amount to hundreds of Hunyuan by then!
“Luo Feng, you are very strong. You can complete ordinary star-level missions by yourself. You don’t need to find other people to team up with.”
"Take this opportunity to accumulate merit for the dojo."
Babata said in a sincere tone.
The training missions at the Hongmeng Dojo are often extremely dangerous.
For example, in this "Thunder World" training mission, you might even encounter a cosmic-level Qiluo Beast.
Therefore, stellar-level members typically form teams of ten, but the contributions gained from missions are split equally.
Luo Feng's solo actions are tantamount to him taking fifty percent of the credit.
"Unfortunately, I haven't received any news from my eldest and second eldest brothers during these years of wandering in space."
Luo Feng sighed softly.
Since Hong and Thor left Earth, he has gradually begun to venture into the universe.
After all, cultivation cannot be done behind closed doors; one can only gain insights through repeated life-and-death battles.
"Babata, what exactly is the Purple Cloud Branch?"
"Why have I searched for seven years without hearing a single word?"
Luo Feng asked in his heart.
After Hong and Thor left Earth, they vanished as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth, leaving no trace.
Luo Feng even asked Zhang Yang, an immortal deity, for help, but still couldn't find any information about the "Purple Cloud Branch".
"Luo Feng, you should be happy for Hong and Lei Shen."
"The higher the level of secrecy of the Ziyun branch, the more importance it receives from the Hongmeng Dojo."
"Maybe next time you meet Hong and Thor, you might not be as strong as them!"
Babata said calmly.
"I hope so."
Luo Feng sighed inwardly.
"Alright, mission accomplished, it's time for us to leave the Thunder World."
Babata urged.
Luo Feng didn't speak, but turned to look at the distant, endless mountain range, a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes.
Legend has it that deep within the myriad mountains of the Thunder World, there grows a Thunder Tree, born from the light of thunder.
This tree bears fruit only once every ten thousand years, and its fruit can even help one comprehend the laws of lightning; its value is immeasurable.
Anyone who can retrieve a Thunder Fruit and hand it over to the Hongmeng Dojo will receive 5,000 contribution points.
"Luo Feng, you wouldn't happen to have your eye on that Thunder Tree, would you?"
Babata frowned and said, "I advise you not to take this risk. The Thunder Tree is protected by a Domain Lord-level Qiluo Beast, which is far beyond your current capabilities."
In order to truly serve the purpose of "training," the training missions at the Hongmeng Dojo prohibit the use of plant life forms exceeding the stellar level, high-tech weapons, and the like.
Therefore, Luo Feng did not bring the Moyun Vine or the Golden Horned Beast clone with him when he went to the Thunder World this time.
"I see."
Luo Feng nodded calmly and smiled, "Babata, I'm not so arrogant as to go looking for trouble with a Domain Lord-level Qiluo Beast."
"With your current level of understanding of space and the Law of Metal, even a peak-level cosmic expert might not be your match."
"However, the gap between a stellar level and a domain lord is too great, and it cannot be bridged by simply comprehending the laws."
Babata shook his head and said.
"I'm just curious why the being who created the world of thunder would leave a thunder tree here?"
A thoughtful look flashed across Luo Feng's eyes.
The growth cycle of the Thunder Tree is extremely long, but once it grows up, it can continuously produce Thunder Fruit, which is of immeasurable value.
The Thunder Fruit is a cosmic marvel that aids in comprehending the laws of lightning, and it has a significant effect even on realm lords.
For a family, it is an invaluable treasure that ensures the birth of a world lord in every generation.
"I have a slight impression of that powerful figure who created the Thunder World. He seems to be the famous Thunder Cloud Marquis of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."
Babata said, frowning.
Lei Yunhou was once considered one of the legendary figures in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.
During his time as a realm master, he was known as the "Thunder Realm Master," and he lived in seclusion on an ordinary life-bearing planet, creating a realm master world.
Later, he broke through to immortality and left the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield to venture into the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, but he did not take this world with him.
It wasn't until hundreds of millions of years later that this world was discovered by later generations and became a training ground for the Black Dragon Mountain branch of the Hongmeng Dojo.
By then, Lord Lei Yun had already perished on the battlefield beyond the realm.
According to historical records, Lei Yunhou was eccentric and aloof, with no disciples, no master, and no relatives or friends.
"The only trace left in this world seems to be this world of thunder."
Babata said.
"Babata".
Luo Feng paused slightly, then pondered, "I ask you, can a Realm Lord produce a Thunder Tree seed?"
"The Thunder Tree is an immortal-level treasure, and even its seeds are quite expensive. In theory, it is not something that an ordinary realm lord can afford."
Babata shook his head and said.
It takes an extremely long time for a Thunder Tree seed to grow into a Thunder Tree.
But for immortals who possess eternal life, time is precisely the least valuable thing.
Therefore, Thunder Tree seeds are often in high demand but short supply, with auction prices once exceeding three thousand Hunyuan.
"Do you think it's possible that this Thunder Tree was planted by Lord Lei Yun after he became an immortal?"
Luo Feng asked in a deep voice.
"You mean, after achieving immortality, Lord Lei Yunhou returned to the Thunder World?"
Babata was taken aback.
"Lord Lei Yun is a loner with an arrogant personality. Do you think such a proud and powerful figure would willingly let his life's work be lost in the long river of time?"
Luo Feng asked calmly.
"But."
Babata was still somewhat hesitant, saying, "There is a Domain Lord-level Qiluo Beast guarding that Thunder Tree."
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"
Luo Feng gritted his teeth and said, "I'll risk it all! Even if my human form perishes, as long as the original core is still on the Golden Horned Beast, I can still regenerate my human form."
The prospect of inheriting a legacy that could potentially grant him immortality and the title of Marquis was enough to justify such a great risk. "Babata, activate the detectors at full power!"
"This time, I'm going to thoroughly explore the secrets of the Thunder World!"
Luo Feng gritted his teeth and thought to himself.
······
The Seven Towers Realm.
Ziyun Branch.
An oval-shaped water wave portal floats above the enormous plaza.
Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~
Spatial fluctuations rippled around them as two figures passed through the portal.
"drop!"
"Prospective members Hong and Thor, congratulations on clearing the A-level dungeon 'Blood Cloud Cave'."
A voice devoid of any emotion rang out.
Hong and Thor exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of relief.
This life-or-death ordeal involved twelve reservists, and only they managed to return alive.
"As expected of an A-rank dungeon, it's incredibly dangerous!"
"If it weren't for my elder brother's breakthrough in battle, the two of us probably wouldn't have made it back."
Thor still looked shaken.
"Second brother, let's go deal with the equipment we got this time."
Hong remained calm.
Several years later, both of them have now reached the peak of the Realm Lord level.
If placed in the outside world, it would seem unbelievable that someone could rise from the first level of the universe to the peak of the realm master in just seven years.
But at the Ziyun branch, anything is possible.
All cultivation needs of the reserve members of the Purple Cloud Legion are provided by the Hongmeng Dojo.
All cultivation resources are provided free of charge;
Once you break through a major realm, the Hongmeng Dojo will provide you with an S-grade Origin Force potion for free, allowing you to quickly advance from the first rank to the ninth rank.
Precious secret techniques are available for selection at will, and each practitioner receives one-on-one instruction from an immortal master.
It can be said that Hong and Lei Shen only need to focus on cultivation, and don't need to consider anything else.
A moment later, the two arrived in front of an ancient stone building with the three large characters "Quartermaster's Office" written on it.
"Hello, I'd like to sell these items."
With a wave of his hand, dozens of gleaming weapons appeared in the air.
"Beep! Scan complete!"
"The total value of this batch of weapons is 3521 contribution points. According to the policy, the Ziyun branch enjoys a tenfold contribution bonus, totaling 35210 contribution points."
"It was a quartermaster wearing purple armor and with two crystal dragon horns on his forehead," said a quartermaster.
Thank you.
Hong smiled and said.
Although the Ziyun branch is extremely dangerous, the benefits are also extremely high.
As long as you can adapt to the environment here, you will often grow up very quickly.
"What would you two like to exchange?"
The quartermaster asked with a smile.
"Not needed for now."
Hong shook his head and said.
"Give me one hundred units of S-grade Lanco potion."
"My Purple Cloud Star-Eating Grass is only at the first level of the Realm Lord. It takes about 100 units of S-grade Lan Ke potion to cultivate it to the peak of the Realm Lord level."
Thor quickly said.
In every life-or-death experience, plant life was a great help to him.
It's fair to say that without Zixiao Star-Eating Grass's numerous miraculous interventions, the grass on Thor's grave would be ten meters tall.
"One hundred doses constitute one unit, and one hundred units equal ten thousand doses of S-grade Lanco medicine."
"The original price is 1 million contribution points, but the reserve members of the Ziyun branch can enjoy a 90% discount, which is 100,000 contribution points. Are you sure you want to buy?"
The quartermaster asked again.
"determine."
Thor said with a hint of regret.
The 100,000 contribution points are basically all the savings he has accumulated over the years.
After all, he and Hong had cultivated together in the Purple Cloud region for seven years. In the first six years, when they were still at the Universe Level and Domain Lord Level, they didn't actually earn many contribution points.
It was only in the last year, when they broke through to the Realm Lord level, that their speed of earning contribution points increased significantly.
A moment later, Hong and Lei Shen took 10,000 S-grade Lanco potions and returned to their respective residences to rest.
If Babata were to see this, he would probably be insanely envious.
S-grade Lanco potions are treasures they wouldn't even dare to dream of, but here they're practically dirt cheap!
What's even more outrageous is that Purple Cloud Star-Eating Grass is an even more heaven-defying plant life than the sacred Cloud Vine!
"The Ziyun branch is great in every way, except that it is isolated from the world and cannot contact the outside world."
"I wonder how the third brother is doing these days!"
Thor sat cross-legged in the cultivation room, thinking to himself.
"This life-or-death experience has given me many new insights into the laws of time."
"Hmm, this time I should be able to grasp the first essence of the laws of time."
Thor closed his eyes slightly, immersing himself completely in comprehending the laws.
In reality, he and Hong only progressed faster in terms of realm. If we simply talk about their understanding of the laws, they might not be as strong as Luo Feng.
After all, the Ziyun branch is different from the outside world, and there is no need for it to stay at the cosmic or domain lord level.
After Hong and Thor used their contribution points to exchange for an S-level bloodline evolution potion, and then used an S-level primal force potion to save time accumulating energy, they broke through to the realm master level in just five years.
It should be noted that the bloodline evolution potion that Luo Feng bought at great expense was only grade B.
As for the S-class...
Whether it's the Force Potion, the Lan Ke Potion, or the Bloodline Evolution Potion, S-grade items are absolutely not for sale at the Hongmeng Dojo.
S-grade and A-grade may seem to differ by only one grade, but their effects are ten thousand times different.
That's the difference between something that can be bought with money and something that can't!
Truly precious treasures cannot be measured in money.
However, one's cultivation level can be rapidly improved with the help of potions, but one can only comprehend the laws of nature through one's own gradual understanding.
Luo Feng possesses the powerful weapon of the Golden Horned Beast, and his understanding of the laws far surpasses that of Hong and Lei Shen.
Several days later.
Hong and Lei Shen, who were in seclusion, shuddered and opened their eyes at the same time.
"Ok?"
"Is that an email from Professor Lin Gu?"
Hong and Thor were startled. They opened the email and their faces turned serious.
"The Blood God Tower will open in March, and all reserve members will have to take the test!"
"Note: Each person has only one chance to enter the Blood God Tower!"
After reading the email, both Hong and Thor fell silent.
The Blood God Tower involves the legacy of a powerful and extraordinary individual and is opened once every ten years.
All the geniuses selected to enter the Purple Cloud Branch have only one ultimate goal: to obtain the Blood God Tower's inheritance as much as possible.
However, throughout history, no one has ever successfully climbed all ninety-nine levels of the Blood God Tower.
The highest record so far is only the 53rd floor of the Blood God Tower, barely halfway through.
"The Blood God Tower only tests willpower, and has nothing to do with realm. Whether it is a star level, universe level, domain lord level, or world lord level, they are all treated equally."
"For me, this may be a chance to defy fate."
Hong thought to himself. (End of Chapter)
