Chapter 345
The headquarters of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple is filled with Venerables and bestowed ti
The spaceship slowly descended, the hatch opened, and Luo Feng stepped onto the ground of this star.
Beneath my feet lies crystal-clear jade, gleaming with a soft, warm luster, as if the entire earth were paved with divine jade nurtured over countless years.
"This is the headquarters of the Hongmeng Dojo..."
Luo Feng took a deep breath, feeling the rich cosmic energy around him.
The energy concentration here is more than ten times higher than that of the Qianwu Secret Realm!
Just by standing here, he could feel the primal force within his body subtly starting to operate automatically.
"Luo Feng".
King Aurora smiled and said, "The planet you are standing on right now is a treasure."
"Treasure?"
Luo Feng was slightly taken aback.
In fact, he wasn't quite sure what level of treasure the Supreme Treasure was, but he vaguely knew that it was a treasure that even the Supreme Beings of the Universe would go crazy for.
"Am I currently possessing a supreme treasure?"
Luo Feng found it unbelievable.
"I have completed my mission by sending you to the Hongmeng space-time."
"Luo Feng, we'll meet again someday."
Aurora King smiled faintly.
After saying that, without waiting for Luo Feng's response, he vanished from the spot in a flash.
"You're leaving already?"
Luo Feng was slightly taken aback, then gave a wry smile.
The title of king, though immortal, was indeed fleeting.
"Luo Feng, the Aurora King, is a King-level Immortal who is much stronger than your teacher."
At this moment, Babata, who had been pretending to be dead for a long time, finally spoke.
"Babata, are there also strong and weak among those who are crowned as immortals?"
Luo Feng asked with some curiosity.
"Of course!"
"The difference between being granted the title of King and achieving immortality is like the difference between clouds and mud."
Babata rolled his eyes and said, "The weaker ones are just ordinary Kings, while the stronger ones can even kill Universe Venerables who are above their level."
"Slaying a Universe Venerable who is of a higher level?"
Luo Feng found it unbelievable.
To him, a Cosmic Venerable was already a great being in the universe, comparable to a ruler of a cosmic kingdom.
"hehe!"
"You'll find all sorts of extraordinary talents at the Hongmeng Dojo headquarters; you'll see later."
Babata said calmly.
"Mr. Luo Feng."
At that moment, a gentle voice rang out.
Luo Feng turned his head and saw a young man in a blue robe walking towards him with a smile.
The man had a handsome face and a gentle aura. He had a vibrant green leaf pattern on his forehead, which faintly emitted fluctuations of law.
Luo Feng's eyes flickered slightly.
The one who came was definitely a powerful immortal god!
“I am a staff member of the Hongmeng Dojo. You can call me Qingmang.”
The young man smiled and said, "Please follow me to the waiting hall."
"Good work."
Luo Feng nodded.
The two walked one after the other along the jade-paved road.
Along the way, Luo Feng saw countless strange and unusual buildings.
There are towering towers that reach into the clouds, palaces that float in the air, and lakes that flow with rainbow-colored light...
Every building exudes a heart-stirring aura.
“Those are all the cultivation grounds of the powerful cultivators of my Hongmeng Daoist Temple.”
Looking at those strange buildings, Qingmang's eyes flashed with envy. He said, "To have one's own cultivation place in the Hongmeng Space-Time, one must at least be among the top ten thousand on the Earth Ranking."
"Top 10,000 on the Earth Ranking?"
Luo Feng secretly made a mental note of it.
When he was undergoing trials in the Firewood Space, he had heard people say that the Hongmeng Dojo had three major rankings: the Human Ranking, the Earth Ranking, and the Heaven Ranking.
The Earthly Ranking is specifically for immortal gods.
"Babata, was my teacher ever on the Earth Ranking before?"
Luo Feng asked in secret.
"Well..."
Babata hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your teacher was indifferent to fame and fortune back then, and focused on cultivation. He didn't care much about these empty titles."
"I see."
Luo Feng nodded.
His teacher probably wasn't on the list back then.
Not long after.
Led by the green light, the two arrived at a magnificent hall.
The entire main hall is made of purple crystal, standing thousands of meters tall, and its area is so vast that it is even larger than a city on Earth!
"This is the waiting area."
Qingmang pointed to the main hall and smiled, "The geniuses who arrived earlier are all waiting inside. You may go in now. The latest batch of geniuses will arrive in about two months."
Two months?
Luo Feng nodded and stepped into the main hall.
The interior of the main hall was extremely spacious, with thick crystal pillars supporting the entire space.
Many seats were set up on the ground, and quite a few geniuses had already arrived, sitting cross-legged in twos and threes, some cultivating with their eyes closed, and others talking in hushed tones.
Luo Feng glanced around and spotted several familiar faces.
"Luo Feng!"
A rough voice rang out.
Luo Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, arrogant young man striding towards him.
Rong Jun!
Luo Feng's eyes lit up.
"Haha, you've finally arrived!"
Rong Jun walked up to Luo Feng, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and laughed, "I thought you would be the first one to arrive, after all, your hometown is in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region."
"Luo Feng!"
A soft, feminine voice rang out.
Then, Ji Ge, dressed in a magnificent robe and looking like a noble young master, walked over.
During these three years, Luo Feng chose to return to Earth to be with his family, while the two of them stayed in the Qianwu Secret Realm to cultivate.
"Luo Feng, I've gotten even stronger now, so don't let me surpass you."
Rong Jun said with great pride.
"Luo Feng, I've also made considerable progress."
Ji Ge said with a faint smile.
Clearly, they had all gained a great deal from their three years of cultivation in the Qianwu Secret Realm.
After all, that is the Qianwu Secret Realm, one of the most prestigious cultivation sites for the human race.
"Surpass me?"
Luo Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Even if I stand still for a hundred years, you might not be able to catch up."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them found cushions to sit down.
"Babata, keep an eye on our surroundings for me."
"clear."
After giving instructions to Babata, Luo Feng began his cultivation.
Three years...
Rong Jun and Ji Ge have made great progress, so how could his progress be small?
Although Luo Feng spends most of his time with his family, he has never neglected his cultivation.
Especially after the Golden Horned Beast broke through to the Domain Lord level, its affinity with the laws reached an astonishing seventy times!
In addition, there's the tenfold comprehension boost from the Enlightenment Tree clones...
This means that his efficiency in comprehending the laws is seven hundred times that of an ordinary genius!
Even without cultivating in the Qianwu Secret Realm, his progress was much faster than Rong Jun and Ji Ge.
"In three years, I have comprehended the twenty-second and twenty-third mysteries of the laws of space."
"The laws of space are indeed too profound. Even with a seven hundred times faster comprehension, it still takes a very long time."
Luo Feng sank into his sea of consciousness, his heart gradually calming down. In three years, he had comprehended the profound mysteries of two spatial laws.
If word got out about this speed, it would be enough to make countless peerless geniuses blush with shame!
It is important to know that the laws of space are among the most profound laws in the universe.
Many geniuses may spend tens of thousands of years in arduous practice, yet they may not be able to comprehend even one of these principles.
"However, the greatest progress has been made in the Law of Gold."
A slight smile appeared on Luo Feng's lips.
The laws of metal are much simpler than the laws of space, consisting of only seventy-two mysteries.
In these three years, he comprehended the fiftieth to fifty-seventh mysteries of the Law of Metal.
Three years, eight kinds of metal mysteries!
Even he himself was somewhat surprised by the speed.
"At this rate, I will be able to fully comprehend the seventy-two mysteries of the Law of Metal in at most another ten years."
"At that time, the entire Law of Gold will have no secrets from me."
Luo Feng pondered to himself.
Understanding even one lower-level law is enough to become an immortal god.
Of course, he would never stoop to becoming an ordinary immortal god.
Luo Feng is destined to spend a very long time waiting for the title of Realm Lord.
……
Time flies.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Luo Feng was immersed in cultivation when he suddenly sensed something and opened his eyes.
Suddenly, a towering gray figure appeared in the void directly in front of the hall.
He was a middle-aged man in a gray robe, with a gentle demeanor and eyes that seemed to hold an endless starry sky, captivating anyone who looked into them.
"Venerable Mingshan!"
The group of geniuses immediately stood up and bowed.
"The three thousand geniuses have all arrived. Follow me into the Five Elements Secret Realm."
Venerable Mingshan said calmly.
With a wave of his hand, a spatial force enveloped three thousand star-level little guys, instantly teleporting them into a vast starry sky.
"Holy crap! Teleportation! This is teleportation!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
As expected of a cosmic venerable one, his understanding of the laws of space is absolutely incredible. He directly teleported a large group of them into the starry sky.
However, the next second, all the geniuses were captivated by the shocking scene before them.
Behind Venerable Mingshan, a massive palace was floating in the air.
The palace is entirely cast from red crystal, crystal clear, and tens of thousands of meters high, radiating a hazy red light.
Wherever the crimson light passed, space seemed to distort, as if it could not withstand the oppressive power of the palace.
The palace's exterior walls are carved with countless mysterious patterns.
The patterns seemed to be alive, flowing slowly, sometimes transforming into a dragon, sometimes into a phoenix, and sometimes into endless stars.
"This is terrible, absolutely terrible!"
"Luo Feng, this is a top-tier palace-type treasure!"
"This Venerable Mingshan is definitely one of the more powerful ones among the universe Venerables!"
Babata screamed in Luo Feng's mind.
"What is a top-tier palace-type treasure?"
Luo Feng was somewhat bewildered.
"Just know that a hundred times your teacher's entire fortune is not as valuable as this palace."
Babata said excitedly.
As a titled Immortal King, and specifically from the Hongmeng Daoist Temple, Huyan Bo was naturally very wealthy, possessing several top-tier treasures, far exceeding what ordinary titled Immortal Kings could have.
However, all his treasures combined are worth at most 100 treasure points.
Top-tier palace-type treasures are worth at least tens of thousands of treasure points.
Luo Feng gasped in shock, his eyes filled with astonishment.
A hundred times the teacher's entire fortune is not as valuable as this palace before him?
"Come in, everyone."
Venerable Mingshan spoke softly, his voice not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.
As soon as the words were spoken, the doors of the Crystal Palace slowly opened.
An ancient and vast aura emanated from the palace, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
Venerable Mingshan was the first to fly into the palace.
The three thousand geniuses exchanged glances, then took to the air and flew towards the Crystal Palace.
As Luo Feng followed the crowd and stepped into the palace gate, the scene before him suddenly changed.
The interior of the palace is far more expansive than it appears from the outside, as if it were a world unto itself, with no end in sight.
"sit."
The voice of Venerable Mingshan came from ahead.
Luo Feng and the others sat down on the ground as instructed.
Once everyone was seated, Venerable Mingshan nodded slightly and waved his hand—
The crystal palace trembled slightly, then transformed into a stream of light and flew towards the depths of the primordial space-time.
······
A crimson crystal palace flies through the endless starry sky.
I don't know how much time passed—
Luo Feng and the others felt a sudden pause, and then the palace abruptly stopped.
"stop!"
Just then, a vast voice suddenly rang out.
The voice seemed to come from the depths of the universe's origin, containing boundless pressure.
Upon hearing this voice, the three thousand stellar-level geniuses were all shaken to their core, as if their souls were being gripped by an invisible hand!
The palace's crystal walls gradually became transparent, allowing everyone to see what was happening outside.
This is a vast starry sky, with a huge vortex suspended in the air.
The vortex was a million kilometers in diameter, slowly rotating and emitting a seven-colored light.
At the center of the vortex was a deep darkness.
At this moment, a figure quietly appeared in the void in front of the vortex passage.
It was a tall figure wrapped in purple lightning, seemingly billions of kilometers high, whose face was obscured.
What's astonishing is that the bolts of lightning surrounding his divine body alone contained world-destroying power, shattering the surrounding space into pieces.
The shattered space had just healed when it was struck by new lightning.
This cycle repeats itself, like a reincarnation.
"Greetings, Venerable Qitian!"
Venerable Mingshan flashed into the starry sky and said with utmost respect, "This junior is ordered by the Lord of Beiming to escort the geniuses of this year's Hongmeng Grand Competition into the Five Elements Secret Realm."
Venerable Qitian remained silent, his gaze sweeping over the magnificent palace.
With just a glance, the three thousand geniuses felt their souls were completely seen through, leaving them with no secrets.
"good."
Venerable Qitian said calmly, "There are quite a few promising talents in this year's class."
Venerable Mingshan breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully, "Then... shall we go in?"
"Go."
A vast sound echoed in the starry sky.
Immediately afterwards, the lightning bolt, hundreds of millions of kilometers high, slowly dissipated, as if it had never existed.
At this moment, the three thousand star-level little guys inside the treasure palace were all deeply shocked.
Venerable Qitian?
The person who commands such respect from Venerable Mingshan, the guardian of the entrance to the Five Elements Secret Realm, must be an absolute super-strong individual in the universe!
"Babata, have you ever heard of Venerable Qitian?"
Luo Feng asked in his heart.
"The Venerable Qitian?"
Babata shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it. Your teacher has been asleep for too long... However, there seems to have been a guy named Qitianwang back then, who was the number one powerhouse of that era. I wonder if it's him."
What he didn't know was that the hundreds of millions of years that Hu Yanbo had been asleep were exactly the billions of years that the Hongmeng Daoist Temple had been developing rapidly.
During this period, many super-strong individuals from across the universe emerged from the Hongmeng Dojo.
Venerable Qitian is one of them.
"Walk."
Venerable Mingshan returned to the palace and gave an order.
Boom!
The crystal palace transformed into a streak of light, flying deeper into the seven-colored vortex. (End of Chapter)
