Chapter 745: Secret
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The level of secrecy regarding the primal region members of the Virtual Universe Company wasn’t considered too high. When Luo feng became a sector lord and was confirmed by the virtual universe network system…it automatically increased his status, thus becoming a primal region sector lord. The moment that happened, the name list changed and many undyings and absolute beings naturally found out about it.
"Hm?"
Luo Feng walked towards the city leader’s mansion and saw many undyings looking at him.
"That’s Luo Feng?"
"He’s already a primal region sector lord."
"I heard…that he’s already passed the domain lord primal region sky mountain."
"Where’d you get that news? The sky mountain results aren’t public, I heard only the knights will know of such things."
"I just heard."
There were many undyings discussing softly along the way. It was obvious that within the past 1,000 years, Luo Feng had become a reputed genius within primal chaos city. Hence, almost all the warriors knew him.
Luo Feng entered the city leader’s residence amidst the discussions, stepping into the primal chaos ruins yard.
Time and space warped.
Amidst the vast ruins, trillions of bodies could be seen about. Luo Feng walked through the land and saw a silhouette sitting crossed legged in the distance.
"Teacher." Luo Feng stood there and bowed respectfully.
Hua!
The city leader got up, his snake tail swept as he looked at Luo feng. This made Luo feng shocked within, "I’ve been visiting him for so many years in the virtual universe. My teacher in the virtual universe…the pressure and energy I feel from him is completely different compared to real life."
The primal chaos city leader had three bodies, Luo Feng knew that this was one of them.
"You were finally willing to breakthrough to sector lord level." The city leader’s eyes seemed to smile at him.
Luo Feng was stunned.
Finally willing?
From domain lord level 9 to sector lord, one would usually meet with a barrier, it wasn’t an easy thing to breakthrough! However, his teacher’s tone…
"When did you possess the golden horned beast’s body? Was it back when your home earth was attacked by one?" The city leader asked casually.
Luo Feng stared wide eyed.
My god!
Possess the golden horned beast?
This, this, this…
He had kept this secret extremely well, not ever disclosing it. How, how…
"Hahaha, you little punk." The city leader laughed loudly. "Do you think you could hide that from me?"
"Teacher." Luo feng was very nervous.
"Don’t worry, it’s no big deal." The city leader shook his head and laughed, "The main foundation of a flesh and blood life form is the soul. No matter what you possess, or what body you get, your soul never changes, it’s still a human soul. Naturally, you’d still be part of humanity."
Luo Feng let out a sigh or relief within.
That was right, there were many possession techniques. Someone at star traveller level, or star level, even those could use them. There were many that would possess others and try again if they weren’t satisfied with the 1st, just like his teacher Hu Yan Bo had done so before. There were many warriors in the universe that possessed others to decrease the limits of their lower bloodlines.
Hence, possession wasn’t something that was degrading.
The soul was the core!
One that possessed a golden horned beast still possessed a human soul, naturally he was still human!
"Haha, don’t be fooled by appearances. If one’s appearance is human but their body has already been possessed by the other races, his soul would be that of theirs. Then…he would be from the other race." The city leader smiled. "Being able to possess a golden horned beast’s body is your own skill. If you can possess a stronger life form…that would be even better, the only worry is if you fail."
Luo Feng finally calmed down within.
He had been worried before, because Hu Yan Bo had at most possessed another human. As for him, he had possessed another race altogether! The moment it was revealed, if he was marked as another race, that would mean big trouble. He didn’t dare gamble! Hence he had been hiding this fact. From the looks of it, the upper echelon of humanity seem pretty open about it.
"Teacher, how did you find out…" Luo feng couldn’t help but ask.
"Every batch of geniuses absorbed, whether they are from the genius competitions or absorbed members for the 5 leviathans, they all come to primal chaos city once." The city leader laughed, "When you first came here, one reason was for you to pick your primal chaos tablet, the 2nd was to determine if there were any other race spies within. If we nurture you and you turn out to be from another race, that would be a joke."
"Within Primal chaos city, I can instantly check through all of you." The city leader said, "I immediately saw the core within your body then."
"Ah." Luo Feng was shocked.
Right.
How could humanity not check through the geniuses and spend resources on them.
And the primal chaos city leader, as one of the most pinnacle beings of humanity, was definitely one of the top three powers of humanity. He naturally could easily see through a person and his soul!
"Then, then…" Luo Feng couldn’t help but say, "Since you know I possessed a golden horned beast, and that it was at sector lord level, why’d you let me carry on as a domain lord level member?"
"Even though I know about it, it doesn’t mean others do." The city leader smiled indifferently.
Luo Feng blinked.
"My job is to make sure you aren’t a spy of the other race." The city leader exclaimed, "There are many encounters in the universe. Your possession of the golden horned beast…doesn’t mean anything in the vast universe. As long as I can make sure you are human, that’s enough! As for the management people not finding out and still taking you as a universe level, as a domain lord…I can’t be bothered with it."
Luo Feng nodded.
Right.
The city leader, he was the biggest boss of the Virtual Universe Company, what level was that? Why would he bother about such matters.
"If you could find out, how could the others not?" Luo Feng asked curiously.
"I control the time and space here." The city leader smiled, "In this space, I can easily scan everything. Those knights, they may have comprehended space or time! They haven’t reached my level, unless they purposely send a piece of god energy into your body to check, they would never be able to discover you possessed a golden horned beast."
Luo Feng realized.
The universe master controlled both time and space, he was naturally much more powerful than a knight.
"It was a good thing you came here when you were weak." The city leader said, "If you had come here for the 1st time when you were undying, I may have mistaken you to be a spy of the space beasts."
Luo Feng was stunned.
"The moment one becomes undying, his soul would begin to meld with the body, every bit of spirit imprint fusing with your cells." The city leader smiled. "When that happens, every cell is a part of your soul, as there’s no clear soul itself, only the most basic spirit imprints about, and the imprint of every life that has a soul is different"
"There wouldn’t be a way for me to determine if your soul imprint was that of human or not."
"Hence…I would suspect you to be a spy for the other race." The city leader smiled.
Luo Feng nodded.
Ah.
Right, when a normal human reaches sector lord, his soul would gather. At domain lord level, it was a soul crystal, sector lord it became a pearl, completely condensed within. Naturally the city leader would be able to see if one was a human soul or not.
However after one became undying, the soul would crumble and disperse, melding into every cell. It wouldn’t be possible to see the soul clearly anymore, as the soul had already become part of the undying body.
"If that was the case, wouldn’t you be unable to determine if some undyings are spies if they come here for the first time?" Luo Feng asked.
"Right."
The city leader nodded, "There’s no way to. Hence, every undying that comes here for the 1st time are all suspects, they would be placed under supervision."
...
After hearing this, Luo Feng felt that the security around humanity’s sacred land, primal chaos city sure was strict. His teacher had probably only told him about 1 level of security. There should be others. He had always thought his possession of the golden horned beast was a secret, he didn’t expect the city leader to know of it.
Only back then, he was too lazy to bother about this little punk.
"Possessing a golden horned beast, amongst the trillions of races in the universe it’s only considered an above average encounter." The city leader smiled. "The only good point is you get its natural bloodline ability of cloning, picking good clones is extremely important. How many do you have now?"
"Two." Luo Feng said respectfully.
"Hm, looks like there’s only one left." The city leader nodded, "Let me advise you…"
Luo Feng listened hard.
"The universe is fair, this natural ability is not limitless." The leader emphasized, "From what I know, there are some very mysterious and terrifying life forms in the universe, some of them are even completely unique. Even at sector lord level…your golden horned beast’s internal world cannot produce such a life form. The internal world of the beast can at most…produce one that’s ten to a hundred times stronger than itself, if it were to produce such a life form, it wouldn’t be too realistic. Of course, the golden horned beast itself has an exquisite bloodline, hence almost all the sector lord life forms of the universe are viable, only very few life forms are exceptions."
"Secondly, if you pick a powerful being close to your internal world’s limit, at 100 times stronger than your golden horned beast, you’d definitely be able to produce it yes. However, the universe is fair, if your clone is too heavenly, your growth will meet with some obstructions."
Luo Feng was shocked.
"Obstructions?"
"Right." The city leader nodded, "If your clone is too strong, there would be some difficulties along the way."
"Good luck and misfortune are interdependent." He smiled. "This is the fairness of the universe. Even though there would be obstructions, the moment you breakthrough them, you will have a much greater power."
