Borrowing Yang Qi's strength, Luo Feng spread out his mental energy, almost mapping the entire Realm-within-a-Realm. Deep underground, thousands of meters down, many "Universe Crystals" were buried. These were a hard currency, much more valuable than Ganwu Coins.
Luo Feng waved his hand. Emperor Huangdi's Earth Emperor Dao. The Universe Crystals underground seemed to be iron blocks sensing a magnet, rapidly drilling up towards the surface. One after another, massive, deep-blue crystals erupted from the ground. Each block was at least several thousand cubic meters.
"We're rich! Even a single piece is worth several million Universe Coins!" Babata's excited voice rang out.
The first legacy Huyan Bo left only contained 10 billion Ganwu Coins. In this wave, Luo Feng acquired several hundred Universe Crystals. The wealth he obtained far surpassed that first account. However, it wasn't enough. He wanted a spot to comprehend the Primal Universe.
The area he was in was only the border. The truly good things were still in the core. The owner of this realm, Thunder Realm Lord, was a peak Realm Lord expert. These crystals were insignificant compared to his net worth.
Soon, Luo Feng arrived at the core area, a beautiful plain. The ground was covered with strange, low-lying flowers. Ninety-nine percent of the Universe Crystals were here. However, he did not dig them up; they formed the core structure of the world and could not be easily excavated.
He quickly found the core, a deep blue castle. Within it was the legacy left by Thunder Realm Lord, including an intelligent life similar to Babata.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He circulated all his power and struck the castle gate.
Dong! With a loud bang, the gate collapsed.
"Hahaha, I've waited for this day for tens of millions of years," a hearty laugh came from within, but it stopped abruptly. "You actually broke the castle gate?"
Above the castle, beams of light converged, forming the virtual figure of a chubby, white-bearded old man. "The Realm-within-a-Realm hasn't even opened yet. How did you get in?"
"I came for Thunder Realm Lord's treasure trove," Luo Feng stated directly.
"Master's treasure trove is indeed here, and I am guarding it," the old man said. He pointed beside him, and a huge screen appeared, displaying photos of countless dazzling treasures. At the center was a strange crystal ball.
"There are a total of 68 types of treasures, 312 items," he said as a ranking list appeared.
"No. 1 Complete Set of Space Secret Law Legacy Crystal Ball Bank Account
No. 2 Master's Deposit Bank Account
…
No. 8 Fifth-order Primal Force Weapon: Skyfire Wheel"
Any one of them far exceeded the net worth of a Universe-level expert.
"This Realm Lord is truly wealthy. His net worth is comparable to some relatively poor Undying experts," Babata's voice rang out.
"How do I obtain these treasures?" Luo Feng asked, feigning ignorance.
"To exchange for them, you need to use Thunder Stones," the old man laughed. He waved his hand, and the corresponding prices appeared.
The old man's voice stopped abruptly. "Ah???" His voice carried clear bewilderment.
"This isn't right," his eyes held a hint of madness. "Exchanging for treasures shouldn't be this simple. You should kill each other and compete for them."
Luo Feng paused, then retorted, "I'm the only one here. Who am I supposed to kill?"
The old man fell silent. Many people should have come, letting them fight each other. That was what he, and his Master, wanted to see. The number one ranked legacy was fake, a trick to watch people fight over three separate accounts until their brains spilled out. The exchange was mainly to watch them fight over the stones, causing a river of blood.
But the problem now was, Luo Feng had snuck in alone.
"How did you get in? You violated the rules?" the old man spoke dryly.
Luo Feng smiled. "Aren't you happy I came early to rescue you?"
"Master wants to see a river of blood!" the old man replied fiercely.
"Isn't that simple?" Luo Feng said. "You give me the true legacy, then make a fake one to fool others. Wouldn't that work?"
The old man was speechless. He had never seen such a shameless person.
"I want to exchange for all the secret laws of the Thunder Dao," Luo Feng stated directly.
The old man stared at him. "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely," Luo Feng said with a half-smile. Just like Babata, this AI had a main body, and it was hidden within the auxiliary optical computer that stored the Thunder Dao secret laws. The true legacy was also within it.
The old man looked at him with a strange gaze, then collected the corresponding Thunder Stones and took out a few optical computers. Luo Feng inserted the chips one by one. Within one, there was an intelligence. It was the white-bearded old man.
"Congratulations, you have become Lord Kabu's disciple," he said with a complex tone.
Luo Feng almost burst out laughing. This was too similar to the day he became Huyan Bo's disciple.
"Do you know something? How did you know Master's legacy was hidden within the Thunder secret laws?" The old man, whose master was Lord Kabu, aka Thunder Realm Lord, was bewildered.
"Luck," Luo Feng just smiled.
The old man looked unwilling. This made Babata anxious, and he manifested his form.
"What Lord Kabu's disciple? Luo Feng is already my Master's disciple!" he declared, unable to sit by and watch his master's corner be stolen. Isn't this defiance in front of the husband? Openly cuckolding Master!
The old man was startled. "Intelligent life? You have someone else's legacy on you?"
"Naturally!" Babata said proudly.
The old man felt inexplicably annoyed. "What kind of thing is your master? Master Kabu is a peak Realm Lord!"
"So what? My master is the Master of Meteorite Star, a Marquis Undying. A peak Realm Lord is just the tip of a hair on nine oxen!"
"If your master is so amazing, why does his disciple need to come and exchange for my master's things?"
"Hmph, the things my master left behind are too advanced for Luo Feng to use right now."
…
For no apparent reason, the two intelligent lives suddenly started arguing. Luo Feng watched, finding it quite exciting. He could tell the old man had been provoked into a competitive spirit. With this layer of strategy, it would be much easier to obtain the legacy.
Once the atmosphere was right, he finally spoke. "Alright, alright, we're all family. Stop arguing."
…
After acting as an innocent mediator, Luo Feng successfully obtained all of Lord Kabu's legacy.
