Virtual Universe.
Luo Feng first sent an email to his family to report his safety, and then applied to be teleported to his teacher Void River Master's palace.
On Myriad Creations Island, in a side hall of the palace above.
"Teacher."
As soon as Luo Feng arrived at the side hall, he respectfully bowed to Ender.
"Have you passed Sitting Mountain Guest's Disciple test?" Ender asked with a smile, holding a glass of wine.
"Teacher, how did you know I was undergoing the Disciple test?" Luo Feng was startled.
"Earth being Sitting Mountain Guest's testing ground is not a secret among the highest echelons of our human race."
Ender shook the wine glass in his hand and said softly, "You should have already known that Flame Emperor is also Sitting Mountain Guest's Disciple."
"And Flame God Race's Yanshen Star is also Sitting Mountain Guest's testing ground. The difference is that Yanshen Star is not as special as Earth; what's special are the Flame God Race and those unique armors."
"The secret of Earth has been discovered by the human high-level!" Luo Feng's heart jolted, but he quickly calmed down.
As the leader of the Earth lineage, and a Personal Disciple of the True God Sitting Mountain Guest, he knew just how special Earth was.
Earth could nurture individuals with excellent Soul states, which was absolutely a treasure for a race.
Logically speaking, if the highest echelons of humanity knew Earth's secret, they should have brought Earth under their control, and those high and mighty Universe Masters wouldn't care about his opinion as a small fry.
Yet, to this day, Earth remained as peaceful as ever, with very few outsiders.
"Teacher, did you help me protect Earth?"
Luo Feng immediately thought of his teacher Sitting Mountain Guest, and his attitude towards his current teacher, Void River Master, and couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, I did help you protect Earth."
Ender drained the fine wine in his cup, then placed the cup on the table, "For it, I paid a precious treasure, whose value is higher than the entire wealth of many Universe Masters."
"Teacher, I..."
Luo Feng's eyes widened, momentarily at a loss for words.
Earth was his homeland, the homeland he, his eldest Senior Brother, second Senior Brother, and Jia Yi, among others, would fight to the death to protect.
When he was in a situation where he might lose his homeland, it was his teacher who helped him protect it, paying a huge price for it. He was naturally immensely grateful.
But to compensate his teacher for his loss?
Don't be ridiculous. Although he had become Sitting Mountain Guest's Disciple and had two incredibly precious Heavy Treasures,
he hadn't even gotten his hands on these two Heavy Treasures yet. Moreover, these were bestowed upon him by his teacher Sitting Mountain Guest, so how could he offer them as compensation?
"You are my Disciple; helping you protect Earth was merely a small effort."
Ender said softly, "Although that treasure is precious, it was a gift I prepared for you to become a Universe Master in the future."
"Now, offering that treasure to the race in exchange for Earth's autonomy is merely giving you the treasure in advance."
"Don't tell me that you, who passed Sitting Mountain Guest's test, won't be able to become a Universe Master in the future?"
Ender looked at Luo Feng and said calmly, "If you answer yes, it will greatly disappoint me."
"Thank you, Teacher, Disciple will not disappoint you." Luo Feng respectfully bowed.
His teacher was willing to bestow precious treasures upon him in advance; that was a sign of trust. If he himself lacked confidence, how could he live up to his teacher's trust?
"That's good."
Ender nodded, then added, "When you lost contact this time, your Senior Sister came to find me. I informed her about you undergoing the test."
"Senior Sister?"
Luo Feng thought of his Senior Sister, whom he had never met, yet who had paid for many precious Materials and asked his Master Senior Brother to refine special armor for him. She had treated him well.
"Your Senior Sister thinks highly of you; some of your experiences are quite similar to hers."
Ender said softly, "When you lost contact this time, she was also very worried and even tried to revive you."
"If you hadn't joined my sect, your Senior Sister would definitely have taken you as her Disciple."
"Disciple will go visit Senior Sister shortly."
Luo Feng heard that his Senior Sister had come to find his teacher, most likely to ask his teacher to revive him, and his heart warmed.
"Mm, go now." Ender nodded slightly.
"Disciple takes his leave." Luo Feng respectfully bowed, took two steps back, and teleported away.
"Star Tower has been successfully controlled."
Ender looked at the spot where Luo Feng disappeared and murmured, "Even with my interference, he still passed the most crucial test to become Sitting Mountain Guest's Disciple, as if it were destined; everything is in..."
...
Virtual Universe, Myriad Creations Island, Spirit Treasure Mountain Range.
Outside a side hall of a palace complex on the mountaintop, Luo Feng looked back at the misty surroundings, vaguely seeing the palace complex halfway up the mountain.
Senior Brother Venerable Myriad Treasure was a Seven Star Overlord existence in the Hong Alliance, holding an extremely high position within the Hong Alliance.
Junior Martial Uncle Venerable Radiance possessed formidable strength; even Venerable Fire Erosion of the Huge Axe Dojo had to bow before him. And both Junior Martial Uncle and Master Senior Brother's palaces were on the mountaintop.
"Senior Sister's palace is also on the mountaintop. It seems it's just as Master Senior Brother Venerable Myriad Treasure said, Senior Sister is an Overlord-level existence among our human race." Luo Feng thought to himself.
"Junior Brother, come in." A gentle and magnificent female voice came.
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng walked towards the hall.
A moment later, he saw a woman dressed in fiery red battle attire, with long black hair, round eyes, and thick eyebrows, leaning lazily on a throne.
From an Earthling's aesthetic perspective, she was a very beautiful woman, yet she gave Luo Feng a very peculiar feeling, as if... she is a Beast God!
A Beast God completely different from the Gold beast god statue!
The beautiful woman not far away was like a Beast God; her every word and action contained a special Artistic Conception.
"How could this be?" Luo Feng was astonished.
When he went to the Golden Horned Beast's Lasao World and saw that massive beast god statue, he hadn't felt this way even before comprehending the mystery of the scales!
"Junior Brother, sit."
Bo Ya seemed to have noticed the astonishment in Luo Feng's heart, then immediately reined in her aura and Artistic Conception. Her slender hand, with long, dark red nails, slightly lifted, summoning a stone chair.
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Luo Feng sat down.
"Have you passed Sitting Mountain Guest's Disciple test?" Bo Ya asked softly.
"I have." Luo Feng nodded. Since his Senior Sister already knew, there was nothing to hide.
"Sitting Mountain Guest is a solitary True God; being able to pass his test and become his Disciple is a great Opportunity."
Bo Ya smiled and nodded, "Since you have joined the sect of a True God, I shall also give you a gift, as a celebration for you."
As her voice fell, a light screen appeared out of thin air, displaying a pair of silvery-white claws, adorned with intricate Law secret techniques, their tips incredibly sharp.
"This is a set of high-grade claw-type Heavy Treasure armor, named 'Star Chasing Illusion Claws'. I exchanged it from the Treasure Vault of the Race when I became a Universe Venerable."
Bo Ya said with emotion, "I haven't used it for a long time, and since its value wasn't high, I kept it. It's perfect to bestow upon you. I will have someone send this treasure to Qingyu Continent."
"I originally thought of helping you exchange for a Beast God Inheritance Token, but with your great Opportunity of joining Sitting Mountain Guest's sect, I suppose you won't need it."
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Luo Feng bowed in thanks.
He hadn't expected to meet his Senior Sister and gain another set of claw-type Heavy Treasure armor. Now, the Golden-Horned Beast's weapon was settled. At the same time, he also noted down the 'Beast God Inheritance Token' as a treasure.
"No need for formalities. Just Cultivate well. Don't disappoint Teacher, and don't disappoint me."
Bo Ya gently shook her head, "I hope you can become a super expert like me, and not like your Fourth Senior Brother, who still hasn't managed to Breakthrough to become a Universe Venerable."
"I estimate your Fourth Senior Brother, King Swift Thunder, has no hope of becoming Teacher's Personal Disciple."
Luo Feng listened, finding it difficult to comment on this.
Because Fourth Senior Brother King Swift Thunder was his second Senior Brother Thor's teacher.
"Alright, go."
Bo Ya gently waved her hand, "You've been out of contact for so long; your family must be worried sick. Don't make them wait too long."
"Mm."
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng thought of his parents, Xu Xin, Pingping, Xiaohai, and Luo Hua, and immediately felt an urgent desire to return home.
It was time to reunite with his family!
