Chapter 549 Something Even the Mountain Dweller Didn't Expect
"Remember, the requirement for becoming a Cosmic Venerable is having 10 Cosmic Lords or 1 Top Cosmic Lord. Once you become a Cosmic Lord, the requirements are far more difficult than those for becoming a Cosmic Venerable!"
The Mountain-Sitting Guest sighed, "Back then, I made this promise to your second senior brother. When he inherited the title of Lord of the Northern Prison, he was already the Lord of the Universe. Unfortunately, he never met my requirements."
Luo Feng blinked and asked, "Teacher, Second Senior Brother wouldn't have the same conditions as me, would he?"
Not to brag, but if Master Zuoshanke had the same requirements as Yandi, Yandi probably wouldn't be able to meet them even in his next life!
Whether it's a Venerable-level being required to kill 10 Universe Lords or 1 Top Universe Lord, or a Universe Lord-level being required to kill 10 Top Universe Lords or even, unprecedentedly, the strongest being in the universe...
The chances of success were extremely slim even for myself, let alone for that scoundrel Yan Di.
"Of course not!" The Mountain-Sitting Guest vehemently denied. "Your second senior brother's original requirement was to kill 10 top-tier cosmic overlords or 1 cosmic master during the Cosmic Venerable stage! During the Cosmic Master stage, it was to kill 100 top-tier cosmic overlords or 10 cosmic masters!"
Damn! That's it?
Luo Feng's eyes widened. Compared to this requirement, his difficulty was not just doubled, it was super doubled! A world of difference!
How difficult is it to kill a master of the universe? It's not simply a matter of being stronger than the opponent. The stronger the master of the universe, the better their ability to escape. Let alone killing a master of the universe, even killing a top-tier universe overlord... First of all, a top-tier universe overlord can completely buy time, or even call for help, summoning a super being from a certain force or even the "strongest being in the universe" to personally descend!
Luo Feng was required to kill 10 Universe Lords and 1 Top Universe Lord during his time as a Venerable One. What the hell!
After becoming the Lord of the Universe, one must kill 10 top-tier Lords of the Universe or 1 strongest being in the Universe... Put aside the strongest being in the Universe for now, stop daydreaming, it's too outrageous.
Ten top-tier universe masters, who are comparable to the Chaos City Lord, or even if they are not as good as the Chaos City Lord, they must be at the same level. To think that you could kill ten universe masters of this level is simply wishful thinking!
Let alone 10 top-tier universe masters, even killing 10 ordinary universe masters would be very difficult and troublesome for the strongest beings in the universe.
"Teacher, you're going a bit too far." Luo Feng's eyes were complicated. If you don't want to give it, just say so. Is it necessary to make things difficult for me like this? And you even went so far as to kill one of the strongest beings in the universe...
The Mountain-Sitting Guest smiled and said, "That's why I promise to give you more benefits than your second senior brother. First of all, even if your second senior brother completes the task, I will only help with the refining for free; you will have to prepare the raw materials yourself!"
"Secondly, if you have the ability, you can receive two rewards: one during your Venerable stage and another during your Lord of the Universe stage!"
"Alright," Luo Feng said listlessly.
If I gain it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's fate. Luo Feng understood the saying "looking at a mountain makes your horse run itself to death," so he didn't force it.
Seeing that Luo Feng was losing his fighting spirit, the mountain hermit laughed and said, "Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible for you to meet the requirements, but things are different now!"
Luo Feng looked at the Mountain-Sitting Guest with a puzzled expression. The Mountain-Sitting Guest smiled slightly and said, "During the opening of the Primal Star, which lasts for a thousand epochs, all powerful beings within the Primal Star are unable to perform divine kingdom teleportation, cannot teleport, and cannot even enter the Dark Universe!"
Luo Feng's eyes lit up. Now that the Mountain Hermit had said that, he really did have a chance.
"Moreover, you created the strongest soul attack secret technique of the universe's master, and you have the power to amplify its strength. Seriously speaking, it's much easier for you to meet the requirements of the Venerable stage than for your second senior brother..."
……
After explaining some things, the Mountain Guest left. Meanwhile, as Luo Feng obtained the fifth metal plate from the treasure vault, completely completing the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual," Zhou Ze, far away in the newly built Saint Master's Mansion in Chaos City, also completed the follow-up to the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.
After the conflict over the Zhou Zeqi Temple, the Lord of Chaos City believed that Zhou Ze's status, strength, and position were not suitable for staying in his own residence. Instead, he built a new residence that faced the Lord of Chaos City's residence from afar, and together they guarded Chaos City.
Not only that, the Lord of Chaos City also started to "slack off," perhaps to free up one of his clones. He persuaded Zhou Ze to send a clone to guard the Primal Secret Realm.
Nowadays, the Lord of Chaos City is visibly much richer in spirit. Previously, of his three divine bodies, one was constantly roaming the cosmic sea, one was guarding Chaos City, and one was staying in the Primal Secret Realm. Now, he has completely freed up one of his clones and is living a very comfortable life.
"The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is finally complete..."
Zhou Ze opened his eyes, his gaze clear and bright, just like an ordinary person, showing no sign of anything extraordinary.
"The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is a good thing. For Luo Feng, its greatest use is to construct an inner universe cycle and promote his own genetic evolution through the inner universe. But for me, its greatest use is equivalent to a 'Chaos Stele' left behind by the Mountain-Sitting Guest!"
"It elucidates the essence of various fundamental laws, the combination and fusion of major laws, and the operation of the laws of the universe!"
"This allowed me to comprehend the laws of chaos, to stop being blind, and to break down the barrier from zero to one. This is something that even Senior Sitting Mountain Guest probably didn't expect... Hehe..."
Zhou Ze smiled.
He was certain that the Mountain Dweller hadn't expected the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" he created to be used in this way, because in this world, only he could continuously cultivate from the first tribulation to the ninth tribulation, continuously construct the inner universe cycle, and thus continuously comprehend the essence of various laws and the way the laws of the universe operate from this process.
"Judging by the time, it's about time..."
Zhou Ze sighed:
"It's extremely difficult to study a single essence to the top of the sixth rank. In some ways, it's not a question of difficulty or comprehension, but rather a journey from zero to one. This kind of breakthrough requires opportunity, luck, and unexpected inspiration..."
Of course, Zhou Ze has not been without gains over the years. The more he studies, the more he feels that the path he has taken is correct, and once successful, it will be a direct road to the great road ahead.
"Let's put it aside for now..." Zhou Ze put aside his research on the essence of a law and instead turned to studying the seventh-order secret technique.
This was a plan he had already decided on. If there was still no progress after Luo Feng obtained the fifth fragment of the Heavenly Soul Crystal, he would have to start comprehending the seventh-order secret technique.
While a solid foundation is essential, the fundamental purpose of building that foundation is to reach greater heights and go further.
With his current foundation, there is no bottleneck whatsoever in seventh-order, eighth-order, or even higher-order secret techniques.
