***********************************
"Please help me thank the God Emperor Yuhe," Luo Feng transmitted.
Right now, Luo Feng was well aware of all the top-tier experts within the Dark Holy Realm - after all, there were barely over a thousand known.
And God Emperor Yuhe was one of them.
"By the way, Brother Luo Feng," God Emperor Boxiu reminded, "weren't you previously planning to purchase powerful life-death-type secret treasures at a high price?"
"I have already spread the word. Right now, there are five God Emperors within Chengfeng City willing to sell such treasures. They are ready to visit for exchange at any time- shall we summon them when you meet with God Emperor Yuhe?"
"Okay, thanks, Brother Boxiu," Luo Feng was quite tempted.
He had been relying too much on the Immortal Heart and the Palm Realm.
That's why his combat methods were still too simplistic. If he had a few more powerful secret treasures, just the synergy between them could significantly enhance his strength.
Moreover, these secret treasures contained higher-level mysteries, which would greatly benefit in his cultivation.
"It's just a small matter."
God Emperor Boxiu didn't mind at all.
The three teammates in their squad had visited Yulan City and spoken with Palace Master Yuanxiang! So they knew Luo Feng well and understood that he had reached this level in a very short period of time.
Because of that the three of them had already agreed in secret to follow God Emperor Luo Feng for a period of time.
As long as Luo Feng does not transcends the cage (or jump out of the cage), they will have the patience to continue following him!
The three of them had never shared Luo Feng's details with others. And when Palace Master Yuanxiang returned to the Origin World, he didn't spread the information either.
In a small cave dwelling on the edge of Chengfeng City, a man in pale white robe- God Emperor Jixiu- received the message.
"God Emperor Luo Feng summoned me? He wants to buy my life-death-type secret treasure?" God Emperor Jixiu beamed with joy.
Whoosh.
Without hesitation, he exited the cave dwelling.
God Emperor Jixiu looked up at the sky, where black snowflakes gently fell, carrying bone-chillingly cold.
But God Emperor Jixiu's heart was filled with excitement and joy: "Finally, a top-tier existence willing to buy my life-death type secret treasure. Maybe I can make a huge profit from this!"
These types of powerful secret treasures had very different price tags depending on the buyer.
Late-stage Enlightened God Emperors, Semi-Hunyuan-level Enlightened Beings, or peak-level Enlightened beings all offered drastically different prices.
Late-stage Enlightened God Emperors were generally very stingy, and usually start bargaining at 20-30 billion Hunyuan Crystals and with small increase.
There was no other way, they were all too poor! Tens of billions of crystals was already their entire life's accumulation.
Even elites among them who had cultivated two late-stage God Emperor Daos- like the Insect Nest Lord- had to budget carefully.
Those who have cultivated Semi-Hunyuan-level Dao- like Palace Master Weiyang or Palace Master Gaitao might have amassed hundreds of billions over the epochs, but they'd still calculate carefully before buying.
Only peak-level existences could afford to be "generous." Because when they found a secret treasure they needed, they are willing to pay a sufficient amount to buy them.
"I hope that this God Emperor Luo Feng can give me more for the so-called high price he is willing to pay for it!" God Emperor Jixiu thought.
Even a small leak through Luo Feng's fingers could be worth God Emperor Jixiu's entire lifetime of accumulation.
"Whew."
Flying through the black-snow-filled world, God Emperor Jixiu finally reached the core region of Chengfeng City.
The cave dwellings here were enormous, with terrifying formations.
"Hurry inside; you're the last to arrive."
"God Emperor Luo Feng is currently meeting with God Emperor Yuhe. You five wait here for now."
At God Emperor Boxiu's cave dwelling, God Emperor Jixiu was led to a side hall by a puppet servant. Several other God Emperors were already gathered there.
God Emperor Jixiu glanced around.
Among the five waiting God Emperors, three were late-stage Dao Enlighteners, and two were Semi-Hunyuan-level Dao Enlighteners.
All waited patiently without a hint of irritation.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng is currently hosting God Emperor Yuhe.
God Emperor Yuhe has black feathers all over his body and a bird's head!
The cultivation factions may have all kinds of races, but most generally preferred humanoid forms like senior yuan.
Those who maintained their original species form, like God Emperor Yuhe, were rare.
"This Origin Realm Pearl is one of my spoils from the battles. I've had it for hundreds of millions of epochs, but I have never used it. Now that Brother Luo Feng needs it... it seems it's fated for you." Yuhe spoke with a sharp smile, carefully observing Luo Feng.
Although the top-level existences of Chengfeng City didn't know Luo Feng as well as Palace Master Yuanxiang or God Emperor Boxiu did, they could confirm one thing- Luo Feng was already a peak-tier existence before entering the Dark Holy Realm! That alone made others wary. When facing Luo Feng, they naturally lowered their stance.
Only the City Lord's faction, God Emperor Mysterious Ruins' faction, and the Eight Heavenly Wolf Companions- the three strongest forces in the city- could face Luo Feng without losing confidence.
"Thanks, Brother Yuhe," Luo Feng smiled.
"This Origin Realm Pearl is exactly what I need for my cultivation right now."
Luo Feng and God Emperor Yuhe chatted casually.
God Emperor Boxiu, God Emperor Baiyin, and God Emperor Chizheng accompanied them.
"Since Brother Luo Feng has other guests, I won't stay any longer." God Emperor Yuhe was showing goodwill, hoping to form some ties. After a short chat, he politely took his leave.
Luo Feng rose to see him off.
"God Emperor Yuhe cultivates the daos of Death and Destruction! He's famous for his brutality. I've never seen him this friendly before," said the red-robed youth Chizheng with a laugh after Yuhe left.
"There are few in Chengfeng City who can suppress their ferocity. Brother Luo Feng is naturally one of them," God Emperor Boxiu also smiled.
"Bring in the other five guests," Luo Feng said.
Soon, all five entered.
"Greetings, God Emperor Luo Feng."
"Greetings, fellow God Emperors!"
They all greeted, clearly feeling the pressure.
God Emperor Boxiu and the other two were already top-tier figures in Chengfeng City.
Even though they sat on the side, they let Luo Feng sit at the central seat- an obvious status difference.
"You intend to sell your life-death-type secret treasures?" Luo Feng smiled.
"Bring them out. I'll offer a high, fair price. You can sell it, if you wish, or feel free to leave."
"Yes."
The five each took out the treasures they had prepared.
To reach this level of cultivation, each of them had their own fortunes, obtaining powerful secret treasures. But not every treasure suited its owner.
Even if a treasure suited them, sometimes they had to trade them- swapping top-tier lifeform materials or powerful secret treasures for resources!
The YanFeng Ancestor and Thunder Ancestor had done such things too.
After all, surviving and earning resources in the Dark Holy Realm was incredibly difficult.
Luo Feng looked at the five treasures in front of him. One of them was a painting.
"Buzz."
Luo Feng infused his consciousness and began examining the five treasures one by one.
These secret treasures were primarily focused on the fusion of life and destruction, though some included other profound mysteries as well.
"This pill furnace- I'll offer 20 billion Hunyuan Crystals. For the other four, I'll offer 10 billion each," Luo Feng said.
"You may decide whether to sell or not."
The five God Emperors all showed delighted expressions.
"We're willing."
"Naturally, we're willing."
All five were satisfied with the offer.
Typically, such powerful treasures would only sell for 3 to 5 billion, but Luo Feng was offering 10 billion.
The pill furnace, which might usually sell for close to 10 billion, was now getting a 20 billion offer from Luo Feng.
Even peak-tier beings usually weren't so generous!
Luo Feng, however, had recently earned more than 7 trillion Hunyuan Crystals in just one trade. And his strength allowed him to casually hunt low-tier Hunyuan lifeforms in the wild, making such generous pricing feasible.
"This God Emperor Luo Feng is unbelievably generous," God Emperor Jixiu thought, overwhelmed with excitement.
He had tried to sell his spear multiple times before, but buyers usually offered only 3 to 4 billion. After that, he had never wanted to sell it.
Now that God Emperor Luo Feng had offered 10 billion, the amount was astronomical. God Emperor Jixiu might not earn this much even after struggling in the Holy Dark Realm for countless years.
The transaction concluded quickly.
In a quiet chamber-
Luo Feng looked with satisfaction at the five powerful treasures laid out before him. He knew very well that without offering such high price, these unique secret treasures would have been incredibly hard to negotiate for.
Double the price- and that was enough. If the sellers were still greedy? Luo Feng would simply drive them away.
He liked powerful secret treasures, but now that he had so many, gaining or losing one wouldn't make much difference.
"With these five treasures, combined with the Immortal Heart and the Palm Realm, my strength will increase substantially," Luo Feng nodded in satisfaction.
Of course, among these treasures, he valued the Immortal Heart the most.
It was something he had exchanged from the Infinite Space Treasury and had the strongest life-preserving ability.
Exhaling softly-
He waved his hand and stored away the powerful secret treasures.
Then Luo Feng took out the Origin Realm Pearl.
The black Origin Realm Pearl faintly glowed with a purple light. Luo Feng's power seeped into it, and he easily refined it.
"What a fine Origin Realm Pearl. No wonder it can aid in developing an internal microcosmic origin world, even serving as its very core. The energy is indeed incredibly abundant."
Luo Feng was very pleased.
Once refined, the power of the Origin Realm Pearl could easily be converted into his own energy.
This conversion lasted three full days.
Luo Feng's physical energy reserves soared to a millionfold.
"A millionfold energy reserves of Perfect Divine Body! With a body like this, my strength doesn't increase but actually becomes harder to manage." Luo Feng felt the burden, but a smile still formed on his face. "This is the perfect time to try out some mysteries of the Spiritual Will and Consciousness System."
Time passed.
Luo Feng consumed various auxiliary wonders, maintaining his mental processing speed at over a hundredfold! His Spiritual Will and Consciousness System gradually began to take shape.
In the blink of an eye, over a thousand years have passed.
Within Chengfeng City, some factions originally harbored wicked intentions- planning to ambush Luo Feng once he left.
But...
Luo Feng remained in seclusion, cultivating with no sign of leaving.
He stayed long-term in God Emperor Boxiu's cave dwelling.
They understood that a peak-tier existence like Luo Feng would not foolishly give them any opportunity to strike.
Over the course of these thousand years, Luo Feng exchanged military contributions twice with the City Lord's faction, totaling 30 million military merits, all fully traded.
"Buzz~"
Within Luo Feng's secluded chamber, the sealing formation suddenly activated and opened.
This was a sign of completion in the chapter of the "Spiritual Will and Consciousness System."
The movement of the formation was naturally sensed by Boxiu, Baiyin, and Chizheng.
"Brother Luo Feng has came out of seclusion?" The three of them immediately went to greet him.
They saw the familiar figure of the black-clothed, black-haired man walking out.
Though they were already quite familiar with Luo Feng, this time, his emergence gave the sensation that the entire boundless universe was pressing toward them.
They actually felt suffocated.
"Hm?"
Luo Feng noticed this and instantly realized the issue. "This time, I am coming out with my complete true body. The pressure is too intense."
In the past, when he came out to exchange military merits, he had only sent clones. This was his first time emerging with his massive complete true body.
With a single thought-
His massive body temporarily retreated into the supreme treasure he carried, the "Scroll World." What appeared externally was only a clone with a ten-thousandfold energy reserve. The sense of oppression quickly vanished.
God Emperor Boxiu and the others immediately felt the pressure return to normal.
"Brother Luo Feng, it seems you've gained quite a bit from this seclusion," God Emperor Boxiu said with a smile.
God Emperor Baiyin and Chizheng also looked at Luo Feng, secretly shocked.
They could clearly remember the pressure they felt just moments ago. Not even the two strongest known figures in the Dark Holy Realm- God Emperor Jike and Dao Lord Longjiu- could give off such a sense of oppression.
"I did gain a little," Luo Feng replied with a slight smile, then gently shook his head.
"But cultivation truly comes with many obstacles. It's been quite frustrating. I'm planning to head to the large Hunyuan Hall in Hunyuan City next."
