Chapter 362 Chen Yuan: Luo Feng, do you want the Star Tower?
"I thought I had hidden it very well."
Luo Feng smiled.
Seeing that he could no longer hide it from the other party, he simply stopped concealing it and poured his high-level Venerable will into the pressure, which came crashing down on him.
Although the two were still separated by a screen, Chen Yuan could already sense the mental will hidden within this oppressive aura, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"So fast." He shook his head slightly. "I was just guessing that you had made a breakthrough, but I didn't expect that you would actually reach the level of a Universe Venerable in just three hundred years."
"You should know that three hundred years ago, your will was only at the peak of becoming a king."
Wow, that's fast.
Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "He truly deserves to be the protagonist of the Swallowed Star world, the future lord."
While others' cultivation slowed down as they progressed, Luo Feng's cultivation speed became astonishingly faster the higher his realm became.
However, when Chen Yuan thought about Luo Feng's behavior when he inherited the Star Tower in the original work, he felt it made sense.
"A 6000-year-old tradition of life and death."
"I'm pretty sure that when Luo Feng underwent the Star Tower test in the original story, his willpower was at most at the King level."
"In just 6000 years, he transformed his will to at least the level of a mid-level Venerable, and forcibly exhausted the amount of will stored in the tower bead."
"Now that Luo Feng has the Nine Prisons Tower's time acceleration, he has been tempering himself inside for at least hundreds of thousands of years."
"What's so strange about reaching the will of a high-level Venerable?"
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Congratulations, Luo Feng, you have successfully completed the Nine Prisons Tower trial."
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng smiled.
"But I'm a little curious."
Chen Yuan asked, "You spent five hundred years mastering the five levels of the Nine Prisons Tower, and your willpower was only at the peak of the King level."
"How come you have reached the level of a high-level Venerable and mastered the ninth level in just three hundred years?"
At this point, he added, "Of course, if there's any secret that's inconvenient to talk about, you don't have to tell me. There's nothing inconvenient to talk about."
Luo Feng smiled faintly: "The reason why my willpower improved so rapidly later was also related to you."
Chen Yuanwei, unable to contain himself, asked, "Me?"
"Yes," Luo Feng exclaimed. "Thanks to your 'Primordial Spirit Sword Intent,' I was able to advance from the initial Venerable level to the advanced Venerable level in just one hundred years, and finally complete the Nine Hell Tower Trial."
"You mean the primordial spirit sword intent?!"
Chen Yuan was immediately startled. How come he didn't know that the secret technique he created had this effect?
No, strictly speaking, the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent is an optimization of the system and cannot be entirely considered a secret technique created by Chen Yuan. At most, he only provided some ideas.
Therefore, it is reasonable that this secret technique of will might be hiding something from him.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan calmed down and asked, "As far as I know, although the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent has the effect of promoting the improvement of mental will, it should not be very obvious."
"Isn't it obvious?"
Luo Feng was slightly surprised. "I think the effect of this secret technique is quite obvious."
"Really?" Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Could you elaborate?"
"No problem." Luo Feng nodded, and then talked about his feelings when cultivating the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent.
After listening, Chen Yuan finally understood why the other party's will had improved so rapidly.
Luo Feng was right; it really was related to the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent. The main reason was that he was so perfectly suited to this secret technique.
Indeed, in Chen Yuan's view, Luo Feng's compatibility with the Yuan Shen Sword Intent was at least 99%, if not 100%.
The reason for this is actually related to the spiritual path that Luo Feng has always followed.
What is Luo Feng's spiritual path? A heart like a knife! A heart like a mirror!
When Chen Yuan optimized his Yuan Shen sword intent, the optimization direction he set was to incorporate the "Heart Like a Sword" technique that he had comprehended!
This technique, in essence, was inspired by Luo Feng and eventually evolved into a way of utilizing mental power.
That's why Luo Feng and the Yuan Shen Sword Intent have such a high degree of compatibility, because they both evolved from the same mental path.
With such a high degree of compatibility, coupled with the time acceleration brought by the seventh level of the Nine Prisons Tower, Luo Feng has essentially cultivated his mental will for over 70,000 years.
Given the other party's talent, it makes sense that in such a long period of time, he could break through from a primary Venerable to a high-level Venerable.
"I see." Chen Yuan exclaimed, "I never expected you to be so compatible with the sword intent of the primordial spirit. No wonder your mental will has broken through so rapidly."
"It's all thanks to your secret technique of willpower."
Luo Feng chuckled, "Otherwise, it might have taken me thousands of years to develop the will I have today."
"By the way, Chen Yuan."
At this point, Luo Feng suddenly hesitated, then said shyly, "I have already perfected the first level of the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent. I don't know about the subsequent content—..."
Upon hearing this request, Chen Yuan smiled. He hadn't expected Luo Feng to master the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent so quickly.
Considering that the requirements of the second level would be difficult to meet, he only placed the contents of the first level inside the Nine Hells Tower.
"The second level of the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent requires the will of a cosmic overlord to even begin, which is a hundred times stronger than your current will."
Chen Yuan explained, "Even if you get it, you won't be able to cultivate it in the short term, so I didn't put it in in the first place."
"So that's how it is."
Luo Feng was somewhat disappointed, but he nodded understandingly: "It's alright, the first level of the secret technique is enough for me."
"However, since you have talent, you can come to me later to get the follow-up content of the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent."
Chen Yuan said directly.
"Really? Thank you so much."
Luo Feng did not refuse, because he really needed this secret technique, and he silently kept Chen Yuan's efforts in his heart.
The two then chatted for a few more minutes, mainly Luo Feng recounting his experiences on the battlefields outside the region over the years.
"With my current willpower, combined with the sword intent of my primordial spirit, I am already capable of slaying any King-level expert, even an invincible King-level expert."
At this point, Luo Feng couldn't help but smile. In fact, more than one invincible king of alien races had fallen at his hands, and these achievements made the name of "King of the Blade River" more and more famous.
In the end, even Luo Feng's location on the battlefield outside the domain was designated as a forbidden zone by the alien race, and the news spread to every member of the alien race.
"So you're not getting any training benefits from the extraterritorial battlefield anymore, are you?"
Chen Yuan immediately saw through Luo Feng's predicament and smiled slightly: "Perfect, come back after you've finished your training. It's time to fulfill the great opportunity I promised to prepare for you."
"A great opportunity."
Luo Feng's eyes lit up with interest. "I've heard those three words so many times. Now that I've completed the test, shouldn't you tell me what this opportunity is?"
"Of course, the so-called opportunity is actually—"
Chen Yuan paused deliberately before softly uttering three words: "Star Tower!"
"What? The Star Tower!"
Although Chen Yuan spoke those three words lightly, Luo Feng understood the weight behind them.
"It's this priceless treasure!"
Luo Feng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Having spent nearly a thousand years in the Seventh Battlefield, he was naturally very familiar with the legend of the Star Tower and understood that it was an extremely powerful treasure.
The news of the Star Tower's disappearance back then was still widely circulated among various races.
Many alien races say that the Star Tower was taken away by human powerhouses, but human warriors refute this, saying that they have never seen any trace of the Star Tower within human territory.
Moreover, the human race does not possess a single supreme treasure to date. If the Star Tower were in the hands of the human race, the creator of the giant axe would certainly not hide it.
Because there were many conflicting accounts about the whereabouts of the Star Tower, Luo Feng was unsure which was the truth. But he never expected that the truth would now be right in front of him.
"So, the Star Tower disappeared back then, and you, Chen Yuan, obtained it?"
Luo Feng tried to keep his tone calm.
"That's right." Chen Yuan nodded. "The Star Tower has always been in my hands."
"This is an extremely powerful treasure!"
Luo Feng couldn't keep his composure, his face filled with shock: "The entire human race doesn't possess a single supreme treasure, and now it's in your hands? Didn't the higher-ups of the human race discuss this with you?"
"Stay calm, it's just an extremely powerful treasure."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "Of course I've spoken with the higher-ups, and we've reached an agreement. I'll be in charge of the Star Tower."
He paused, then added, "Moreover, besides the Star Tower, the human race is not without supreme treasures."
Luo Fengyi couldn't help but say, "But I heard—"
"Your information channels are nothing more than those of newly appointed kings, aren't they?"
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "A mere titled king is not even considered a high-ranking member of the clan, so how could he know these secrets?"
"..."
Luo Feng paused for a moment, then asked, "So, besides the Star Tower, the human race actually possesses other supreme treasures?"
"Of course." Chen Yuan nodded. "And there's more than one, all in the hands of the giant axe-wielder."
To avoid shocking Luo Feng, he didn't mention that both of these supreme treasures were his creations.
"I see." Luo Feng took a moment to calm himself down before asking, "So the great opportunity you mentioned is related to the Star Tower? Could it be that this treasure contains some powerful inheritance?"
"There is inheritance, of course, but this is not the opportunity I'm talking about."
Chen Yuan gently shook his head, "Since I call it a great opportunity, I am naturally referring to the Star Tower itself."
At this point, he glanced at Luo Feng and continued, "This treasure was prepared for you."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng's eyes widened in shock. "You're going to give me the Star Tower?!"
"Don't be so surprised," Chen Yuan smiled. "It's just the Star Tower."
"What do you mean 'just a Star Tower'?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "That's an ultimate treasure! Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
"Such a powerful treasure, wouldn't it be better for you to keep it yourself?"
He simply couldn't understand why Chen Yuan would choose to give him this priceless treasure.
"I have my reasons."
Chen Yuan chuckled lightly: "Just tell me if you want it or not?"
"Yes! Of course I want it!" Luo Feng nodded repeatedly. Faced with such a treasure, there was no time for humility.
Since the other party has gone this far, how could he be a corrupt person?
"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded. "Then pack your things and come straight over."
"I can only tell you the secrets behind the Star Tower in person."
"Okay, wait for me."
Luo Feng naturally had no objections, after all, it involved an extremely powerful treasure, and they couldn't just discuss it directly in the virtual universe.
Since staying in the outer battlefield wouldn't provide any further training, he might as well end the training and go back to inherit the Star Tower.
"Given Chen Yuan's personality, once he's said it, he certainly wouldn't lie to me."
"In other words, he really is going to give me the Star Tower."
Luo Feng felt a surge of excitement. Even with his composure, it was difficult for him to remain calm in the face of such a powerful treasure.
At the same time, he was also very puzzled as to why Chen Yuan would choose to give such a powerful treasure to him.
The answers to all these questions can only be revealed when he meets the other party in person.
Since Luo Feng had already accumulated enough military merits required by the military system and the virtual universe company, he was now a free man and naturally faced no obstacles in leaving the extraterritorial battlefield.
Furthermore, tempted by the Star Tower, Luo Feng found it hard to resist the urge to slowly fly back to the original secret realm via spaceship.
So he chose to teleport back to the Divine Kingdom. Anyway, he had accumulated a lot of wealth over the years and even seized a few treasures, so he didn't care about the teleportation cost at all.
"Fortunately, before I left Chaos City, I nurtured Star Eater into an immortal being and left divine power coordinates near the headquarters."
Luo Feng secretly rejoiced: "Otherwise, finding an immortal who can teleport back to the company headquarters in a short time would be quite troublesome."
He then packed up his personal belongings, returned to the Nine Prisons Tower, and prepared to leave the area where he had lived for hundreds of years without any regrets.
Goodbye, extraterrestrial battlefield.
Luo Feng summoned the Star-Eating Grass, "Star-Eating, Divine Kingdom Teleportation, destination is the company headquarters."
"Understood, Master."
The Star-Eating Grass obediently opened the passage connecting to the Divine Kingdom and led Luo Feng inside. A moment later, it left through another passage.
After entering and exiting, the starry sky has changed. This place is not far from the virtual universe headquarters, and it is also very close to the original secret realm.
So, Luo Feng's Nine Prisons Tower returned to Wu Chen Time and Space a few minutes later and arrived at Chen Yuan's residence.
"They're here."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly upon seeing Luo Feng.
Without time for pleasantries, Luo Feng asked directly, "Now can you tell me why you gave me this treasure?"
As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily turned to the other side, where a nine-story pagoda, tens of kilometers high, stood.
Although the pagoda looked small, Luo Feng recognized it at a glance as the Star Pagoda.
"No rush."
Chen Yuan smiled and pointed to the Star Tower, saying, "Come in with me. All your questions will be answered inside." After saying that, he entered the Star Tower first, and Luo Feng followed Chen Yuan without hesitation.
The next moment, the two arrived at a magnificent palace.
Luo Feng blinked and noticed that besides him and Chen Yuan, there was an old man sitting in the palace, leisurely brewing tea.
Chen Yuan went straight to the old man, bowed, and said, "Master, I have completed the training of my junior brother and brought him here."
"Now, we can proceed with the Star Tower's recognition ceremony."
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng blinked and asked, "Junior Brother? Are you talking about me?"
"That's right."
Chen Yuan waved to Luo Feng and said with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This old man brewing tea is my teacher."
"Of course, he's also your teacher."
"As for the teacher's identity," Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "it's naturally the ancestor who created Earth, the Mountain Dweller!"
