In the eyes of Sitting Mountain Guest, the True God, anyone who could be called a Universe Super Strongest would at least be a Universe Master.
Sitting Mountain Guest currently had two Disciples.
His eldest Disciple, Pu Ti, was a Universe Master.
His second Disciple, the leader of the Flame God Race, was also a Universe Master.
Luo Feng, who was about to become Sitting Mountain Guest's third Disciple, felt that he had a very high chance of becoming a Universe Master.
"Universe Master…"
This made his heart burn with excitement.
Even powerful beings like Tian Shi Palace Master, who suppressed the Blood River World, or his Senior Brother Venerable Myriad Treasure, who had extremely high Artifact Refining skills, were merely Seven Star Overlords standing at the Pinnacle of Universe Venerables.
One more step for such a Seven Star Overlord would lead them into the Universe Master level, where time and space would be completely within their grasp. Reversing time and space to revive powerful beings could grant a race an endless supply of Vitality.
There were quite a few great existences like Universe Masters in the Human Race, such as his teacher Void River Master, and his Big Brother's teacher Phantom Blood Master.
Even if the number of Universe Venerables in the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company was far lower than the other five Leviathans of Humanity, the presence of these two Universe Masters still allowed the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company to be a Giant force.
"The Earth lineage and the Flame God Race lineage are both my children."
Sitting Mountain Guest, as tall as a mountain, looked down at Luo Feng, his voice rumbling, "You have passed numerous secret trials, and you were able to pass the Star Tower Legacy trial, so you are my Disciple, and probably my last Disciple."
"Last Disciple?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng couldn't help but think to himself, "Who can say for sure what the future holds? Could it be that Sitting Mountain Guest only plans to take three Disciples?"
"Don't be surprised." Sitting Mountain Guest's gaze was like sunlight, shining into Luo Feng's Soul. "For your second Senior Brother and you, as early as the very beginning of the Universe's evolution, I had ideas and plans. I spent countless efforts and most of the wealth and treasures I acquired over countless years on the two of you."
"Most of the wealth and treasures?" Luo Feng was stunned.
"For example, this Star Tower, even if your Human Race used all its strength, with my methods of Artifact Refining Arcana treasure, how many could it refine?" Sitting Mountain Guest smiled.
"According to Senior Brother, teacher is the race's number one Artifact Refiner."
Luo Feng mused, "I wonder how teacher's Artifact Refining skills compare to Sitting Mountain Guest's? Who is stronger?"
"Alright, Luo Feng Disciple, you still haven't called me teacher yet." Sitting Mountain Guest looked at Luo Feng.
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng quickly knelt respectfully, suppressing his excitement as he shouted, "Disciple Luo Feng, greets teacher."
"Good, since you are my Disciple and I am your teacher, I will naturally fulfill my responsibilities."
Sitting Mountain Guest's voice rumbled as he looked down at Luo Feng, "I have three habits when teaching Disciples. Firstly, I like to prepare the most top-tier resources and conditions in the Universe for my Disciples.
"Secondly, I will not teach you any secret techniques. Thirdly, whether you live or die, I will not interfere, nor is it possible for me to reverse time and space to revive you after your death."
"Doesn't teach secret techniques? Doesn't care about life or death?" Luo Feng's expression was stunned.
"True super strong existences cannot be taught." Sitting Mountain Guest said in a deep voice, "Everything depends on yourself. Every Universe Master creates their own secret techniques to enter that level.
"Always having a teacher's protection will not make you a super strong existence. Isn't your teacher Void River Master the same?"
Luo Feng thought about it and realized it was indeed true.
Ever since he became a Personal Disciple of Void River Master, he had never been taught any secret techniques. His teacher would only guide him through Law difficulties, grant him preferential status, and bestow him with treasures for protection.
"When I teach Disciples, I don't teach secret techniques, I don't care about life or death, I only provide resources and Arcana treasures."
Sitting Mountain Guest said, "If you fall on the path to becoming a super strong existence, I will select another candidate from the Earth lineage to undergo the life and death Legacy, and find another third Disciple.
"The two races I guided and nurtured are destined to have leaders, and a leader is not necessarily only one generation. You can only be said to be the first generation leader of Earth, and I hope you will be the eternal leader."
His voice boomed, directly entering his Soul.
Moreover, Sitting Mountain Guest's voice seemed to possess endless tempering, making one involuntarily convinced.
"Understood." Luo Feng replied respectfully.
"You understand the principle. No matter how powerful the teacher, no matter how many resources, no matter how good the treasures provided, if the Disciple does not Cultivate… then even becoming Immortal is impossible."
Sitting Mountain Guest said in a deep voice, "External resources are very important, but one's own efforts are even more important. However, the stronger one's strength, the less effective external help will be."
"With endless treasures, even if one's Aptitude is poor, as long as one actively Cultivates, they can be nurtured into an Immortal. However, nurturing a Universe Venerable requires strict demands on one's own efforts, and becoming a Universe Master is an incredibly difficult and bumpy Dao."
"If you want to go further after becoming a Universe Master and reach my level, then no treasure will be useful. Your Senior Brother and second Senior Brother have both been stuck at this step for endless years. Among your Human Race, besides Huge Axe Creator, none of the others have taken that final step."
Saying this, Sitting Mountain Guest paused, "Of course, your teacher Void River Master is different."
Luo Feng listened with excitement. Many powerful beings feared not having enough resources.
Why did Pinnacle races and super forces fight? Why did they kill? It was all for resources!
Races needed resources to nurture Genius!
Powerful beings also needed resources to grow!
Having resources meant having a foundation; everything else depended on one's own efforts. The resources Sitting Mountain Guest prepared for him gave him the qualification to be among the Universe Super Strongest.
This qualification was built upon those heart-shaking resources!
However, when Luo Feng heard the end, he was a little surprised, "Teacher Void River Master is different, why is he different?"
Sitting Mountain Guest saw Luo Feng's confusion but did not answer, because knowing some things too early might not be appropriate.
Moreover, although he hoped Luo Feng would grow according to his arrangements, he could not guarantee that Luo Feng would not fall midway.
"I have prepared two Arcana treasures for your second Senior Brother and you."
Sitting Mountain Guest sighed, "A total of four Arcana treasures, three of which are of similar quality, only this Star Tower is quite special."
"Back then, I spent countless precious Materials and treasures to refine the Xeon Arcana treasure 'Star Tower'. Some special and unexpected situations occurred in the middle, which greatly increased the Star Tower's power! It can be called one of the strongest Xeon Arcana treasures in the Universe!"
"Although its power greatly increased, the most basic acknowledgment of its master became a thousand or even ten thousand times more difficult."
"To allow this Star Tower to acknowledge its master, I specifically guided and nurtured the Earth lineage, whose Souls and will were firmer."
"Even so, the first and second candidates still failed."
Sitting Mountain Guest shook his head slightly, "And back then, the Flame God Race lineage could easily acknowledge the Arcana treasure, unlike your arduous experience."
Luo Feng also sighed endlessly in his heart.
Yes, to complete the Star Tower's acknowledgment, he had endured torment for over six thousand years, every second feeling incredibly long.
Fortunately, his will was as firm as a blade, and he persevered for the sake of reuniting with his family.
Sitting Mountain Guest said, "The Star Tower's power is extremely strong. Because of the special changes, I don't even know its limit of power. Just the most basic acknowledgment is so difficult, driving it will be much harder." Luo Feng nodded slightly. For example, his Shi Wu Wings required comprehending the first layer of the Beast God Transformation" for basic usage.
The Star Tower's ultimate power, even Sitting Mountain Guest didn't know. Its usage conditions would be much more demanding than the Shi Wu Wings!
"Your second Senior Brother's strength is not weak; among the Universe Masters in the vast Universe, he can barely be called top-tier."
Sitting Mountain Guest smiled, "But if you can become a Universe Master in the future, with these two Arcana treasures, especially the Star Tower, you will be able to easily suppress your second Senior Brother. This is the power of a Xeon Arcana treasure!
"The Star Tower is a Xeon Arcana treasure. The other Arcana treasure I prepared for you is called 'Robbery Armor'."
"Robbery Armor?" Luo Feng was startled.
"The Robbery Armor was originally stored among the Flame God Race and temporarily held by your second Senior Brother, but for some reasons, it returned to my hands."
Sitting Mountain Guest sighed lightly, then continued, "This Robbery Armor, with the provision of special resources, can produce a large number of armor beads of varying power, namely Soldier Armor beads, General Armor beads, King Armor beads, and Emperor Armor beads.
"Those armor beads are very suitable for the Flame God Race, but they are all for use below Universe Venerable, at most increasing the overall combat power of the entire race."
"That Robbery Armor is the Arcana treasure, an Arcana treasure suitable for Universe Masters, with endless power. It is your second Arcana treasure."
Sitting Mountain Guest said softly, "Your current strength is too weak. When your strength is able to drive this Robbery Armor, I will bestow it upon you."
"Soldier Armor, General Armor, King Armor, Emperor Armor, all originated from the Robbery Armor. No wonder I can use these armors."
Luo Feng's heart surged. "One Robbery Armor, and one Star Tower even more terrifying than the Robbery Armor. The two treasures Sitting Mountain Guest prepared for the leader of the Earth lineage are extraordinary and will dominate the Universe."
"Both of these are stronger and more terrifying than the Shi Wu Wings, enough to make Universe Masters envious and even crazy for them."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly pray, "I hope their usage conditions aren't too harsh."
"Your second Senior Brother's two great Arcana treasures are the Yan God Halberd and the original soul."
Sitting Mountain Guest said, "When I first guided and nurtured the Flame God Race…"
Luo Feng listened, and when he heard that his second Senior Brother possessed two Arcana treasures, one being the Yan God Halberd and the other the original soul, he was inwardly shocked.
The Yan God Halberd was fine; it was just a close-combat weapon Arcana treasure.
But the original soul was truly a Heaven-Defying treasure. When integrated into the Soul, it could make the Soul stronger and also had the ability to nurture Soul Pearls.
The Robbery Armor produced Soldier Armor, General Armor, King Armor, and Emperor Armor.
The original soul produced Soldier Soul, General Soul, King Soul, and Emperor Soul.
The fact that his Earth lineage could use Soul Pearls made him immediately think of his Big Brother and Second Brother, as well as the Genius powerhouses of Earth.
Of course, Soul Pearls, like Armor Pearls, had basic usage conditions: the Soul consciousness needed to reach a certain strength to fuse.
Soldier Soul: A normal Human World Master at the Pinnacle can fully bear it.
General Soul: One hundred times the strength of a Human World Master at the Pinnacle can bear it.
King Soul: Ten thousand times the strength of a Human World Master at the Pinnacle can bear it.
Emperor Soul: A million times the strength of a Human World Master at the Pinnacle can bear it.
With the Soul will of his Big Brother Hong and Second Brother Thor, integrating the Soldier Soul would naturally be no problem, but it would be difficult for other Earth Genius powerhouses.
At the same time, according to Sitting Mountain Guest's words, Luo Feng understood the uniqueness of the Earth lineage.
With Soul Pearls, Earthlings would be able to create a very terrifying Spiritual Master army in the future. Whether they were Controllers or Illusionists, they would be very powerful.
Moreover, the existence of Soul Pearls could make the probability of elites from the Earth lineage falling very, very low, thus increasing the likelihood of Universe Venerables being born.
As for what Sitting Mountain Guest said, whether he would lead Earth to leave humanity or remain with humanity after becoming a super strong existence would be up to him.
Both the race and his teacher treated him well, so he had no intention of leaving humanity.
Subsequently, Luo Feng followed Sitting Mountain Guest and his Senior Brother Pu Ti to tour the Star Tower, and then he received a Heavy Treasure, the 'Star Map'.
Although the Star Map was only a Heavy Treasure, it could integrate Sealed Stars into it. The combination of the two had power comparable to an Arcana treasure, and its preciousness was no less than the Shi Wu Wings.
Moreover, the Star Map had a very special point: he could engrave the Law secret patterns of the offensive secret techniques he comprehended into it, and they would then naturally be engraved on the town sealing stars.
Once attacked, the town sealing stars would communicate with the Law, perfectly matching his offensive secret techniques and greatly increasing the attack power.
…
"There are five fragments of the Heaven Soul Crystal Plate from the Nine Calamities Secret Tome."
After Sitting Mountain Guest led Luo Feng on a tour of the Star Tower, he said, "You have already obtained two fragments. The other three have been placed by me in dangerous places in the Universe. You can obtain one more during your World Master phase, another during your Immortal level, and the last one after becoming a Universe Venerable."
"When you become a Universe Venerable and obtain the last fragment, getting the complete Nine Calamities Secret Tome… I estimate you'll be very close to activating the complete Star Tower."
"These are the Universe coordinates of the three metal plates, each with a simple description of the dangerous place."
Sitting Mountain Guest pointed to Luo Feng from a distance, and a bright light flew towards Luo Feng, directly entering his mind. A wave of information surged in, and Luo Feng understood everything.
"Disciple, don't die in these three dangerous places." Sitting Mountain Guest reminded him.
"Yes."
Luo Feng nodded. He had always been very cautious, so how could he fall?
"The matter is settled. I have prepared more than enough for you. Your teacher Void River Master has also bestowed you with many treasures for protection. From now on, everything depends on yourself."
Sitting Mountain Guest smiled, "But I must remind you, maintain a good relationship with your teacher Void River Master. This will be of immense benefit to you in the future."
As his voice faded, with a slight tremor in space, Sitting Mountain Guest vanished without a trace.
"I am teacher Void River Master's Personal Disciple, our relationship is already close, do I still need to maintain a good relationship?"
Luo Feng's expression was puzzled, and he was very confused in his heart, "Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest knows this relationship, but why would he still remind me?
"Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest has mentioned teacher Void River Master many times, even more than our Human True God, Huge Axe Creator. Why is he so concerned…"
"The Earth lineage finally has a leader. The matter is settled, and I feel much lighter. Junior Brother, I'll be leaving now."
Pu Ti smiled slightly, and with a tremor in the surrounding space, he also disappeared into thin air.
"Senior Brother also left. He had been waiting here for countless years just for the selection of the Earth lineage leader. Now that the selection is done, he should naturally leave."
Luo Feng looked at the empty hall and smiled, "I should also go back. After being out of contact for so long, everyone must be very anxious."
With that, he left the Star Tower and at the same time, his consciousness entered the Virtual Universe to report his safety.
