Chapter 980: Nine Remoteness Master

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At the apex of Thunder Island in the virtual universe, outside the palace surrounded by fog, Luo Feng showed up.

"Things are out of my control," Luo Feng said, standing in front of the palace and pondering what had happened. "If I can't get out there, my treasures will get taken away. It'll be difficult to get them back."

"Luo Feng," said a voice.

Luo Feng was dazed and turned his head. He saw someone in a golden cape standing beside the cliff. It was Primal Chaos City Leader, who was overlooking Thunder Island below him.

Luo Feng walked towards him and saluted. "Teacher."

Primal Chaos City Leader glimpsed at Luo Feng and smiled. "You came here to see me, but you're wandering outside the door. You told me before you were going to Nine Remoteness Space to find the twigs and leaves of World Trees to breed your third body. What happened? Did something go wrong?"

Luo Feng answered respectfully, "I've been following my plan with the World Trees, and I hope I can get some. However, something happened to my original earthling body."

"Hmm." Primal Chaos City Leader looked at Luo Feng.

"My original earthling body was hiding in Rock Island, the safest place in Nine Remoteness Space, but I didn't expect another group of heirs to arrive. One of them was Bark Mirror Emperor. He's famous for his tracking skills, and that was how he found me. He's jealous of my true treasures, and he attacked me."

"Bark Mirror Emperor?" Primal Chaos City Leader was startled. "How did you escape if he attacked you? Have you lost your true treasures to him?"

"No." Luo Feng shook his head. "I got away."

"You got away?" Primal Chaos City Leader was bewildered. "Although he's only an undying fighter, he can rival a universe knight, especially with his talent technique."

"I have another true treasure to protect my soul," Luo Feng said.

"Another true treasure?"

Primal Chaos City Leader furrowed his brow. He could infer from Luo Feng's past battles that Luo Feng's spiritual force weapon was a true treasure, but he didn't expect him to have a third true treasure that could protect his soul.

"Luo Feng," he said, "how many true treasures do you have now?"

Luo Feng was a bit embarrassed. "Three. Shi Wu Wing, spiritual force weapon, and a true treasure to protect my soul. Only three."

"Only three?" Primal Chaos City Leader said. "I only had one true treasure when I was a sector lord. Count yourself lucky."

Luo Feng was a bit perturbed. What if Primal Chaos City Leader teacher asked him where he had obtained the other two true treasures?

"Even if you have a true treasure to protect your soul, Bark Mirror Emperor has the power of a universe knight and won't let you go that easily," said Primal Chaos City Leader.

Luo Feng was relieved that his teacher didn't ask where the two true treasures had come from. Otherwise, he would have to lie. After all, star tower was the biggest secret. True treasures like Star Map and Shi Wu Wing were looked down upon by lots of universe masters, who gave them to the great beings of their own races.

True treasures like Sky Wolf Palace were desired by universe masters, and true treasures like Thousand-Treasure River were craved for by universe masters. As for the top-tier ones like star map, they would send the races of the universe into a frenzy. Even by the most powerful beings in the universe longed for them, just like Five-Color Aurora Lake, which protected the greatest power in the universe.

Luo Feng knew that the secret of star tower could not be exposed before he could fully control it. Otherwise, no matter how many people were on his side, he wouldn't be able to stop the mad desire of the other great beings.

"Theoretically, I wouldn't have gotten away," said Luo Feng. "However, he was chasing me in the Nine Remoteness Space. I found the Nine Remoteness Whirlpool and thought it would be difficult to get the true treasures back if they fell into the hands of Bark Mirror Emperor. Although the Nine Remoteness Whirlpool is famously hazardous, I figured I wouldn't die instantly, at least, so I dove into the whirlpool."

He paused for a moment. "Nine Remoteness Whirlpool was kind of similar to a wormhole. I went to another world. A group of special organisms live there, all of whom are tall and red with bloody horns. There are hundreds of undying fighters of another race guarding the entry point. Luckily, I managed to escape. I think there will be more great beings coming after me, and I can neither teleport nor cast God Country Transportation in that world. The only thing I can do is to stall. The sky and land there are enormous, so I might be able to avoid detection for a while."

Primal Chaos City Leader nodded his head mildly. "You did the right thing. Bark Mirror Emperor comes from the Northern Territory Alliance, and their behavior has been tyrannical. You won't get your belongings back if you lose them to them."

Luo Feng began to sweat. Tower pearl was connected to the most vital things. Although it was unlikely that Bark Mirror Emperor would recognize that, star tower would acknowledge someone as its master only after the tower pearl merged with that creature's soul, which was why it had to be protected at all costs.

Luo Feng looked at Primal Chaos City Leader. "What should I do now?"

"Haha! Are you asking a favor now?" said Primal Chaos City Leader, a smile on his face. "I've never been to the Ancestral God Secret Region, and I know little about it, but I know some of the most terrifying beings in the Ancestral God Secret regions who can roam the universe. What are the universe coordinates of this strange land?"

"Below Nine Remoteness Ocean," Luo Feng said.

"Hmm." Primal Chaos City Leader nodded. "Then I've guessed correctly. I can only sense the keepsake you left there, and it's being interfered with by that realm. There are only a few beings in the universe that are capable of doing that."

Luo Feng was startled. That was the saving object his teacher had given to him, and it was used to call for help from his teacher in a crucial moment.

"I've never been to Nine Remoteness Space, but I know the master of Nine Remoteness Space is called 'Nine Remoteness Master,'" said Primal Chaos City Leader. "The sky and land you're currently in is his home."

"Nine Remoteness… Master?" Luo Feng blinked his eyes.

"That's right. He's a universe master. Of course, you mustn't compare him with Master of Sky Wolf. Nine Remoteness Master is at least as powerful as me."

Luo Feng was shocked. At least as powerful as his teacher? Primal Chaos City Leader had three bodies, and all of which were incredibly powerful. To think that Nine Remoteness Master was his teacher's equal!

"Nine Remoteness Master can roam the universe, and almost no one is his better." Primal Chaos City Leader continued. "Even the Ancestral God School treats him with respect, and the three ancestral gods are friends with him. Nine Remoteness Master deals with things that they and the beast gods find… tricky."

Luo Feng listened carefully.

"He is mighty," Primal Chaos City Leader said. "Especially in Nine Remoteness Space, his home. There, he is invincible, and no one in the universe can possibly defeat him.".

Luo Feng opened his eyes wide. There was no need for his teacher to lie to him.

Everybody said Primal Chaos City Leader was unbeatable while within the primal universe. Little did they know that Nine Remoteness Master was also undefeatable while in Nine Remoteness Space.

"In Nine Remoteness Space, he can realize his full potential," Primal Chaos City Leader explained. "The most powerful World Tree—and some other beings that have the power of universe masters—as long as they live in Nine Remoteness Space, they all serve Nine Remoteness Master. That's why other supreme beings of the universe are reluctant to go there. They are at a disadvantage in Nine Remoteness Space. I also don't want to go to that place. Undying fighters and universe knights are willing to venture there for a chance to acquire some valuables, but real universe masters are not. Nine Remoteness Master is always ruthless. It's difficult for him to kill a universe master in other places, but in his Nine Remoteness Space, it's easy for him to do so."

Luo Feng was amazed. He had never expected such a supreme being to be hidden in Nine Remoteness Space. The heirs throughout history only knew basic facts of that realm. They were not strong enough to make this supreme being show himself.

"He's invincible," Luo Feng said, thinking about his destiny. "Teacher is invincible in the primal universe, and Nine Remoteness Master is invincible in Nine Remoteness Space. Can I be like them, undefeatable in the universe, someday in the future?"

They were only invincible in certain places, but it was a tempting thought. As long as they placed one of their bodies in that place, they were immortal.

Primal Chaos City Leader did not answer but said, "Nine Remoteness Master is my equal, and we have cooperated several times. Besides, he owes me a favor."

"Owes you a favor?" Luo Feng said.

"If you really run into danger and can't manage to escape," Primal Chaos City Leader said, looking at Luo Feng, "shout out, 'Nine Remoteness Space, I'm a disciple of Chaos!' Nine Remoteness Master controls Nine Remoteness Space completely. Nothing that happens there can be hidden from him. He'll know when you shout out. No matter what kind of danger you're in, he'll make sure you're safe."

Luo Feng understood.

"I only ask that you don't cash in that favor if you don't need to," Primal Chaos City Leader said. "Do it only if there's literally nothing else you can do."

Luo Feng was moved, and he nodded. "I understand."

Returning a favor was no easy matter. A supreme being like Nine Remoteness Master owing a favor… This was so rare that it was as worthy of a true treasure.

"If you do shout out, you can request that he do something for you," Primal Chaos City Leader said. "For instance, you can tell him that you want the leaves and twigs of that sector lord-level World Tree. He'll say yes to this kind of request. But remember, such a favor will not be easy to return."

"I understand." Luo Feng nodded solemnly.

He still had Mosha body, which at least gave him a small chance of escape. He wouldn't cash in the favor unless he was at an impasse.

Primal Chaos City Leader smiled and said, "Go."

"Yes, teacher." Luo Feng saluted the leader and disappeared.
