Chapter 1129: The True Treasure Vault
At an extreme end of the universe, in a deserted domain that was more than nine billion light years away from humanity, Luo Feng first used God Country Transportation to reach a place nearest to the coordinates he was given. Thereafter, he relied on teleportation. It took him two days, and finally, he arrived at his destination.
"Teacher, you have been staying here?"
In his silver armor and silver wings, with his ghost blade slung behind him, Luo Feng stood amid the dark of space. At one glance, it was pitch black everywhere, without a trace of light, without a single star. There was absolute silence and cold.
"Void land of the universe?" Luo Feng said to himself.
When the universe evolved, galaxies started popping up, positioned slightly apart from one another. A great quantity of galaxies would form a starfield. The distance between starfields was expansive, and the distance between star sectors was much greater.
As for the human domain and other domains… there would be an immeasurable, vast void—a pitch-black space that existed between them. Within the universe, these void spaces had diameters ranging from a few hundred million light years to a few billion light years, all of which were in complete silence and darkness. With Luo Feng's powers, his eyesight could not see even the slightest trace of light… one could never imagine how frighteningly immense this void space was.
"My dear disciple, do come in already," a voice sounded near Luo Feng's ears.
Luo Feng turned right away.
Hua!
A dazzling, elegant, exquisite bridge appeared. The entire bridge seemed to be made of transparent crystal stones and bathed in gold. Luo Feng flew over immediately and landed on the bridge and made his way to the other end. The walk along the bridge enabled him to feel the intense change of space at once.
"Huh?" Luo Feng immediately checked the universe coordinates and was shocked to discover that with every step he took on the bridge, he moved ten million light years.
From this end of the bridge to the other, the universe coordinates had shifted 1.2 billion light years. At the other end of the bridge, was an exquisite-looking lake where all kinds of fish frolicked in the water.
"This isn't right," said Luo Feng.
He turned to take a look behind him. Previously, the bridge had only seemed to be around 300 feet long, but he had traveled 1.2 billion light years. The lake before him was also of a diameter: a few hundred feet… But according to what his godly power sensed, this was neither a lake nor were those fish in it. It was a domain type true treasure that wields extremely strong power!
Walking along the lake, he saw flower beds and grassy patches.
"This isn't right," Luo Feng repeated, taking a closer look.
Those stalks of grass were actually huge, ancient trees with little stones adorned around them. They were actually metallic materials that were as big as a star level.
"Amazing. The control of universe space is unbelievably incredible," Luo Feng mused to himself as he walked.
His teacher's residence was very quiet. As for that exquisite palace and lake, they were actually a flying palace type true treasure and a domain type true treasure, respectively. As for the other items, they were various sorts of precious materials.
Entering the palace, Luo Feng came to a garden where he saw Sitting Mountain Guest holding a stone and caressing it with his eyes closed.
"Teacher." Luo Feng went to him and bowed deferentially.
Sitting Mountain Guest opened his eyes and put the stone aside. Smiling at Luo Feng, he commented, "You made it here quite fast."
"Teacher, this place is too deserted. Otherwise, I would have arrived much earlier." Luo Feng also smiled. "Teacher, why have you chosen such a place as your residence?"
"The quiet." Sitting Mountain Guest said. "And this void space is of a diameter that is more than 100 million light years. Although it is devoid of anything and incomparably deserted, it is unfit for humans to live and multiply their numbers, but I am a lone wanderer, so this place, on the contrary, is good for me. Besides, this is only one of the many places where I live when I am in the primal universe. Oh yes, where are those stolen goods you took?"
"What do you mean by stolen goods?" said Luo Feng.
Luo Feng had no other alternative but to take everything Sinking Fire Master owned, the pair of godly hammers, his armor, and the green seed.
Sitting Mountain Guest looked. "What are you after?"
"A pinnacle true treasure blade," Luo Feng replied.
He took out a pair of godly hammers that were top-tier true treasures. Their powers could be combined when required. There was also the armor, which was also a top-tier true treasure, and the green seed, which was merely an ordinary soul type true treasure (to the humans, it was worth 60 true treasure points, which was close to the value of a top-tier true treasure weapon).
"Not enough." Sitting Mountain Guest looked at Luo Feng. "I will not take advantage of you. I will definitely offer you a price that is 30 percent less than what you would need to pay to exchange for a true treasure within the race. But this, this is obviously not enough."
"Add in this ghost blade." Luo Feng took out ghost blade that was slung across his back. Since he was going to trade for a blade, this ghost blade would no longer be required.
Sitting Mountain Guest still shook his head.
"Teacher." Luo Feng said, glaring.
"I only have this one pinnacle true treasure blade," Sitting Mountain Guest said. "Although it may not be a pinnacle true treasure of the highest grade, these few true treasures you have here are really still not enough."
Luo Feng frowned. The true treasures he had with him were all in use, and those that were being used were stored in the treasure room at Blood Cloud Palace. Sinking Fire Master might have owned several ordinary true treasures, but Luo Feng had categorized those and returned them to Blood Cloud Palace. After all, he did owe the treasure room in Blood Cloud Palace quite a few pieces of treasures.
Oh… right! Within Sinking Fire Master's world ring, there is one senior true treasure and a token of Zhen Chang Valley.
"Add these two." Luo Feng took out a green and gold medallion and the crystal token of Zhen Chang Valley.
"A token of Zhen Chang Valley?" Sitting Mountain Guest looked and laughed. "Well, I have been quite bored recently. Heading to Zhen Chang Valley for an adventure sounds good. All right, add on these two. We can barely make it now."
"Teacher, you are really going to Zhen Chang Valley?" Luo Feng eyes widened.
The birth of Zhen Chang Valley was a treasure the level of Blade River Luo, and it was yet to be completed. Luo Feng had a disambiguation mirror stone, so he was looking forward to the Disambiguation Temple more. He was not as eager to get into Zhen Chang Valley. Just to get a pinnacle true treasure weapon… going to Zhen Chang Valley was not a great deal! But this was a pinnacle true treasure weapon… and it was comparable to Blade River Luo.
"Why? Am I not allowed to?" Sitting Mountain Guest stood up. "Life is long. We have to find some pleasures to get us by." Sitting Mountain Guest walked afar as he shouted, "Still not coming? Don't you want you true treasure blade?"
Luo Feng hurriedly followed behind.

They came to a palace hall that was decorated in a unique manner. All the walls within the hall were filled with a large quantity of sculptures, and every sculpture was engraved with many different patterns. There was a pattern that depicted a scene of two great beings fighting a battle on the vast plains. There was also a pattern that depicted a scene of a great being killing a large number of other great beings… The patterns all exuded some kind of ancient aura and power, causing the entire palace hall to be enshrouded in a strange atmosphere.
"Feels as though I am on a battlefield." Luo Feng was in the palace hall, feeling his heart set ablaze as he felt the impulse to fight and kill. He was appalled as he realized, "My willpower can feel the influence."
"This palace hall is filled with true treasures," said Sitting Mountain Guest. "Including the decorative items, all of them are true treasures. Majority of them are, however, just ordinary true treasures."
Luo Feng's eyes scanned everything around him.
There were many display cases and shelves in the hall, and on them were knives, blades, strings, ropes, shuttles, maces, hammers, axes, clocks, pagodas, boats, balls, flowers, grass, cloths, medallions, statues, cubes… all sort of items, strange and bizarre, numbering as many as a few thousand, scattered throughout the hall.
"All these all true treasures?" Luo Feng was taken aback.
"All of these are. Even the items used to contain things are." Sitting Mountain Guest smiled. "Ordinary true treasures were made easily and effortlessly, so to me, they do not really have much value. Like that transmission token, ornaments, decorative ornaments, and many others… All of these are just ordinary true treasures."
Luo Feng went speechless at such wonders. Even Craftsman Master would not be able to make such statements. Only Sitting Mountain Guest was qualified enough to dare say that ordinary true treasures were made so effortlessly.
"So, which is mine?" Luo Feng asked.
"In that corner." Sitting Mountain Guest pointed to a faraway corner.
Luo Feng looked to where Sitting Mountain Guest was pointing and saw the seemingly ordinary blade in a corner of the room. He walked over right away. The scabbard was a dusty gray, and on it were some sculptures that looked beautiful. The moment Luo Feng reached out to touch it, he felt the presence of an evil spirit that was so overwhelming that it invaded his body instantly.
Hong!
Within the vast, black space, a blade several tens of thousands of miles long hung suspended horizontally in midair. The blade was slowly being drawn out of the sheath, and the frightening evil spirit seemed to continuously invade Luo Feng's willpower.
Clang!
The blade was completely unsheathed. A murderous intention whirled up in the air and spread all over. At this moment, Luo Feng's life imprint stored within his godly power was completely branded onto the blade.
"The blade shall be called… Absolute Guest!" Luo Feng whispered.
"Use this for now," Sitting Mountain Guest said. "This blade should be more than enough for you. Of course, what would suit you best would be a pinnacle true treasure blade that is made with your Golden Horn World Stone as its core… All the limitless essence of gold in the world within your body converge to form a Golden Horn World Stone. Once made into a weapon, it would be the most suitable one for you. The materials required were exceptionally more than usual, and you are still unable to provide me with those yet."
"Golden Horn World Stone?" Luo Feng's eyes lit up. So, Teacher did have his plans.
"Golden Horn World Stone is the convergence of the limitless essence of gold in the world within your body that was trillions of miles large. It is an extreme limit of the 'metallic materials' within the primal universe. At least, within the primal universe, it was one of the top-tier metals. Only at Universe Ocean can you find something better than that. But… judging from your body, using Golden Horn World Stone to make a weapon would be the most suitable for you."
Luo Feng immediately asked, "What are the materials I need?"
"After you have killed a universe master or ten top-tier universe overlords, then we shall talk about it," Sitting Mountain Guest said. "This pinnacle true treasure blade, 'Absolute Guest,' is one treasure I expended a lot of hard work and effort to make. Don't let it down."
"Hmm." Luo Feng nodded.
"All right, you should get going." Sitting Mountain Guest was not one to hold Luo Feng back.
"Yes."
Since Teacher had said so, Luo Feng gave a bow and left quickly. Looking on until Luo Feng was out of sight, Sitting Mountain Guest returned to his seat in the garden and picked up the same piece of stone. Looking down at it, he sighed softly. "When is the time I can further improve…?"

Luo Feng had barely returned to his god country and was just getting started in familiarizing himself with the pinnacle true treasure blade Absolute Guest, which was extremely powerful. It was then that he received mail from Primal Chaos City Leader, who was in the virtual universe.
"Luo Feng, Blade River Master, regarding what happened on the original star, why didn't you come to me? Don't you know that the universe masters of humanity have not taken a break because of you? Come over here as soon as you can."
The moment he read the mail, Luo Feng's eyes lit up and his heart started beating faster and faster. Of course, he should have guessed that what happened on the original stars would cause the higher-ups of humanity to commence with urgent meetings to discuss his actions. Now that Teacher had summoned him, it seemed a concluding decision had been made.
"Teacher called me Blade River Master?" Luo Feng could not be bothered with anything else and immediately let his consciousness connect to the virtual universe.
