Swallowed Star

The engraving reflected on the permafrost suddenly surged.

Sou!

The cyan mountain disappeared.

“This is a special transportation skill.” Sitting Mountain Guest smiled in the mountain. “It’s kind of like your Star Tower. There are lots of spaces in your Star Tower, and there will be portals from space to space. This one is similar, but it just changes the portal into a spot.”

Luo Feng was listening, but he still looked confused. He understood what it meant in a broad sense, but he couldn’t figure out the mysteries behind it.

Sitting Mountain Guest grinned and laughed. “Haha! I’ve said that only less than three can identify it out of all the great beings from the three universe eras and holy lands combined. Also, I can identify it faster than them. Even lots of universe supreme masters can’t understand it. How could you know it? The only thing you need to know is that Universe Boat has power itself. From my perspective, Universe Boat itself is a magical true treasure! Much more magical than all the supreme true treasures we know.”

“I think so too.” Luo Feng nodded.

“What do you mean, you think so too?” said Sitting Mountain Guest. “This Universe Boat has the shape of a boat, and it was clearly crafted. Most great beings think that it’s a terrific true treasure. Okay… Transportation is over.”

It was glowing outside. Time and space moved, and Sitting Mountain Guest showed up in a quiet space.

“Look outside.” Sitting Mountain Guest pointed to the outside, and the cyan stone immediately disappeared.

“A very beautiful and simple space,” said Luo Feng. He found that the space wasn’t large, and there was an island at the center of the lake. There weren’t any plants on the island, and there were only ancient, stone-built palaces. “Teacher, I can sense that the two scales are in the lake,” he said.

“I already know where the two scales come from.” Sitting Mountain Guest pointed down. “This giant lake, and the water in the lake… This is the gigantic ice mountain domain. Perhaps the two scales fell into this domain and flew here through a mysterious portal.”

“I’ll go down there, teacher.”

Luo Feng was in a hurry, so he didn’t have time to chit-chat with his teacher.

“Haha, just go.” Sitting Mountain Guest smiled and nodded.

Luo Feng flew out of the mountain in the bloody pyramid.

He went into the ice-cold water domain. He kept diving.

Luo Feng had gathered hundreds of thousands of scales in the ice-cold water domain before, so he knew that the water wasn’t a threat at all. To be exact, the entire abyss couldn’t pose any threat to Star Tower, and the worst it could do to Luo Feng was to trap him forever.

“It’s there!”

Luo Feng sensed something stronger.

The bloody pyramid kept sinking, and the blurry golden light immediately became a giant golden hand and grabbed the two scales.

“Haha, I got them!”

******

He went back to the center of the mountain. Sitting Mountain Guest stood to the side with a smile.

Luo Feng was very excited, and the two scales immediately recognized him as their masters. The Extermination Godly Armor was disintegrated, and all the 8,999,999 scales floated around Luo Feng. Most of the scales were black, and a fraction of them were golden.

Hua!

They immediately combined, which made Luo Feng exclaim. It was able to create all the techniques, and they were scattered on all the scales. Defense, distant combat, and close combat—all the engravings were so delicately combined. It was incredible that someone was able to make such a true treasure.

“Not bad.” Sitting Mountain Guest nodded.

Luo Feng was wearing the black-scaled armor, and the four silver wings opened. Suddenly, the color changed, and it became a silver armor. The right hand turned silver.

“Even Five Chaos Master won’t be able to recognize you.” Sitting Mountain Guest smiled and nodded.

“Hmm.” Luo Feng was excited as well.

“However,” said Sitting Mountain Guest. “Five Chaos uses this Crazy Demon Extermination Godly Armor as a palace type true treasure, and the armor is slightly damaged. This is supposed to come from Lava Ocean.”

Luo Feng nodded, as he could sense that the armor was indeed a bit damaged.

“Give it to me, and I’ll help you repair it,” said Sitting Mountain Guest.

“Okay.” Luo Feng felt more grateful.

“It’s only slightly damaged, so it won’t cost much to fix it,” said Sitting Mountain Guest confidently. “However, few in Universe Ocean are able to fix valuables like this. I am the only one.”

Luo Feng was speechless, as his teacher was indeed very confident in making true treasures. However, he needed his teacher’s help, so he needed to be agreeable.

He gave the armor to his teacher, yet his teacher didn’t rush to repair it. Instead, he said, “Let’s go, go to that island. This mysterious space is independent of other places, so it should be a space that belonged to some great being before.”

“Okay.” Luo Feng nodded.

Long ago—to be exact, before the two holy lands came into being and Universe Boat was not yet one of the three Lands of Extremis—Universe Boat had a user. The black keepsake, green keepsake, and the silver keepsake corresponded to independent spaces.

If Tilted Peak Sector and Flowing Countless Mountain looked natural, Universe Boat appeared to have been crafted.

Hua!

The mountain immediately flew to the island and stopped above the island before it gradually landed.

Sitting Mountain Guest started to walk out. “Let’s go.”

“Teacher…?” Luo Feng couldn’t help asking, as he needed to be careful everywhere in the abyss.

Sitting Mountain Guest was already outside. “The island is safe,” he said.

“Okay.” Luo Feng could only follow, yet his golden horned beast body was in the bloody pyramid.

He and his teacher walked out of the mountain and arrived on the island.

The island only has a diameter of a million kilometers, thought Luo Feng. It’s not large.

To them, they could walk from one side of the island to the other side in one step.

Sitting Mountain Guest looked at the palaces. Luo Feng turned around and looked at them. Both could tell that they were all the mountain stones that belonged to the island. They formed stoned palaces, and there were pictures on the walls of the palaces. There were pictures of giant boats flying in the sky, pictures of great beings fighting each other, great beings without heads floating in the sky, and lots of beings groveling.

They seemed to be telling an ancient history. The energy seemed to be from an ancient civilization. The sculptures themselves contained lots of emotions, which even affected Luo Feng’s mind.

“What a terrific civilization,” said Sitting Mountain Guest.

“What a terrific great being,” whispered Luo Feng.

“You can tell?” Sitting Mountain Guest looked to Luo Feng.

“I can’t tell much. However, that boat on the picture is clearly Universe Boat. What kind of civilization was able to build a valuable like Universe Boat?” Luo Feng exclaimed, “The builder must be incredibly powerful!” He turned to Sitting Mountain Guest. “Teacher. Were great civilizations really born here in the past?”

“Perhaps,” said Sitting Mountain Guest. “Even if they were, nobody knows which universe era this one belonged to. The two holy lands have existed for a very long time, and Universe Boat was already broken when they came into being. We can only find some traits from some ruins. The skills I use to make true treasures, I got because of some special situations. I attained them with my comprehension. Like those seven true masters of Divine Eye clan, they went to some ancient places and studied them. Like the two holy lands… They had special fighting and training skills. One of the reasons is that they are led by the ancestors of the holy lands, and second, they’ve been to lots of ancient places.”

“Holy lands,” Luo Feng couldn’t help saying. “Teacher, no one has met the ancestors from the two holy lands.”

“This is a secret among the universe supreme masters.” Sitting Mountain Guest looked at Luo Feng. “Don’t think too much. Keep practicing! When you become a universe supreme master, you’ll know many more mysteries, and you’ll just be wasting your time overthinking if you haven’t reached that.”

“Okay.” Luo Feng nodded.

“Go, let’s go in.” Sitting Mountain Guest walked in.

He walked along and entered the palace.

Luo Feng and Sitting Mountain Guest were walking side by side, and they were looking at all the ancient sculptures. There were all sorts of pictures. Pictures of beings cheering, pictures of battle and leaders roaring… All the pictures showed that it was an ancient civilization—a mysterious and powerful civilization.

“Emotions…” Luo Feng could feel the emotions in the sculptures. He even doubted that they were famous buildings that mimicked some ancient civilizations.

After some time, Luo Feng and Sitting Mountain Guest entered the center place.

Luo Feng noticed that Sitting Mountain Guest stopped.

“Teacher?”

Luo Feng looked to all the complex characters on the giant wall in the distance. The characters were ancient and mysterious. Even though Luo Feng wasn’t able to recognize the characters on the wall, he was able to understand what they meant.

“A mistake! It’s a huge mistake! It cost so much! Yet all I got is death! Deaths upon deaths! Haha! I have made a breakthrough, so what! It’s death in the end!”

The characters on the wall contained anger and regret, which dazed both Luo Feng and Sitting Mountain Guest.
