Chapter 1099: Palace Leader Shows Himself

Luo Feng had already gotten four black metals, and after getting the information of the fifth one, the Nine Volume Manual became complete. Only after he successfully got the complete Nine Volume Manual did he realize how extraordinary the manual was.

“Incredible.” The Golden Horned Beast closed his eyes.

The words on Nine Volume Manual kept floating in his mind, and the combination of the words themselves formed a giant engraving picture! Each letter was a part of the engraving picture, and combining them made an engraving picture more complex than that of the miniature universe!

“How incredible! The letters in the manual constitute an engraving picture? I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

Luo Feng was amazed. He understood that it was because the Nine Volume Manual had reached an extremely high level! The closer it was to the universe origin, the more mysterious it would be.

Like beast gods, their shapes were the manifestations of laws. The Nine Volume Manual was even rejected by universe operation law, and it couldn’t be taught. Fortunately, Sitting Mountain Guest used Heavenly Soul Crystal to pass it, but he was only able to pass it on to one life. Others, like supreme inherited techniques, were bestowed by the universe directly! But Nine Volume Manual was rejected by the universe, which meant the manual was more powerful than supreme inherited techniques! And it couldn’t be created by universe masters.

Golden Horned Beast was dazed in front of the black metal. He was thrilled at the sight of the complete manual, but he recovered shortly.

“I can’t stay here for long. I need to leave now.”

Golden Horned Beast put the black metal into his world ring using his godly power and glanced across the valuables beside it.

Hong!

A powerful force arrived and permeated the entire Blood Cloud Palace. The time and space in Blood Cloud Palace were completely controlled. Space ripples were paused.

“No!” Golden Horned Beast was startled. “It’s a universe master!”

The Golden Horned Beast turned his head around and saw a ferocious being walking in. He wore a fiery cape and had two golden horns on his head. He also wore a mask, and his tail showed at the back of his armor. He stopped and stared at Golden Horned Beast.

“Blood Cloud Palace Leader,” Golden Horned Beast said, turning around.

A universe master… thought Luo Feng. So what?

“Golden Horned Beast!” Blood Cloud Palace Leader gazed at him, then walked toward him. “You’re right. I am Blood Cloud Palace Leader. However…”

His godly body started to change. The fiery cape became ordinary cyan armor. His aura changed. Fierceness became tranquility. The golden horns transformed into crystal, and the mask disappeared, revealing a familiar face.

“T—Teacher?” Golden Horned Beast blurted, baffled by the sight. Blood Cloud Palace Leader had turned into the shape of Master Sitting Mountain Guest! The aura was exactly the same as Sitting Mountain Guest, and aside from his aura, the power he emitted was stronger than that of Primal Chaos City Leader; that couldn’t be replicated.

“Luo Feng.” Sitting Mountain Guest smiled and said, “Did you expect this to happen?”

Golden Horned Beast blinked and recalled his conversation with Sitting Mountain Guest in the Beast God Sector. Luo Feng had asked whether it would take a trial for him to get the fifth black metal, and Sitting Mountain Guest had given him an ambiguous answer.

Luo Feng had been curious and kept asking, but Sitting Mountain Guest refused to answer him.

******

Outside the main palace of Blood Cloud Palace.

Sitting Mountain Guest looked at the endless black airflow in the space in the distance. Golden Horned Beast adjusted to the size of Sitting Mountain Guest and stood before him like a lion.

“Teacher, I didn’t expect Blood Cloud Palace Leader to be you,” said Golden Horned Beast body. “No wonder no one can deal with the Blood Cloud Palace.”

“Blood Cloud Palace is only a body I made.” Sitting Mountain Guest looked out into space and sighed. “Although it’s only a body, it’s as powerful as Primal Chaos City Leader. It’s enough to roam the universe.”

“Why were you posing as Blood Cloud Palace Leader?” Golden Horned Beast’s eyes glinted with confusion. Sitting Mountain Guest didn’t need any disguise, given his power.

“Because of you!” said Sitting Mountain Guest.

“Me?” The Golden Horned Beast was dazed.

Sitting Mountain Guest nodded. “Yes. To be exact, this is an identity I prepared specially for my third disciple. Whoever meets my requirement will inherit this position.”

“Blood Cloud Palace Leader…? Inherit it?” Golden Horned Beast was stupefied.

Damn! thought Luo Feng. Teacher is bringing me trouble! Blood Cloud Palace Leader is a maniac who has enemies all over creation! All the powers want nothing but his demise! And Teacher seems to want to have me inherit that position.

“Just as I cultivated your second brother,” Sitting Mountain Guest exclaimed, “I created another identity, Northern Prison Master! When your second brother is powerful enough, I’ll have him inherit that position.”

“What?” Golden Horned Beast was even more shocked.

Blood Cloud Palace Leader and Northern Prison Master! Both of them were bodies made by Sitting Mountain Guest?

Northern Prison Master was an evil supreme being who was as infamous as Blood Cloud Palace Leader. He had a flying-palace type true treasure, “Northern Prison,” that had the powers of sealing and suppression. When he fought his enemies, he liked trapping them inside the prison, and if they didn’t have the clone technique, they would have to resort to self-destruction! He was even more ancient than Blood Cloud Palace Leader—an evil being well-known at the beginning of the universe, but he disappeared afterward.

“I meant to have your second brother inherit the position of Northern Prison Master.” Sitting Mountain Guest shook his head. “However, he still fails to satisfy me after an eternity, which is why I made Northern Prison Master vanish. Your second brother is not qualified to be him.”

Luo Feng was startled. Made him vanish?

“I don’t have much hope for your second brother, which is why I devoted all my time and energies to you.” Sitting Mountain Guest smiled and looked at Luo Feng.

“If second brother disappointed you, I might disappoint you someday,” Golden Horned Beast said and lowered his head.

Sitting Mountain Guest smiled. “You already proved that you’re better than your second brother when you successfully drove Star Tower. Star Tower is extremely powerful. Universe knights, universe masters, and even universe supreme masters don’t have a chance of using it. The weaker ones don’t have a strong enough willpower. It’s impressive of you to survive life or death inheritance as a sector lord. That said, although you are better than your second brother, you still haven’t met my goal.”

“Goal?” Golden Horned Beast looked at his teacher.

“Universe supreme master!” Sitting Mountain Guest said. This was the first time that he expressed his true will in front of Luo Feng. “When you become a universe supreme master, I’ll succeed. If your second brother becomes a universe supreme master, I’ll succeed as well. However, I don’t think it’s possible that he can become a universe supreme master, as he’s walked in a wrong path.”

Luo Feng was shocked. Both his oldest brother and second brother were universe masters, yet Sitting Mountain Guest was still disappointed and cultivated the third disciple. It turned out that Sitting Mountain Guest would like his disciple to become a universe supreme master! What a crazy idea!

There were only few universe supreme masters in the universe. A race would be a pinnacle race if it had just one universe supreme master! And a power would be a superpower if it had one! Even those universe supreme masters that roamed the universe alone were the greatest and eternal beings! It was already incredible that Sitting Mountain Guest could reach the level himself, but he wanted to make his disciple a universe supreme master! Crazy!

However, Luo Feng couldn’t help admiring his teacher. Sitting Mountain Guest did a wonderful job. He had cultivated the bloodline of the Flame God Race and earthlings, and he even made incredible true treasures like Force Armor and Original Soul, which were easy for him to create. He even created a supreme true treasure: Star Tower!

“It is extremely difficult to become a universe supreme master,” said Sitting Mountain Guest. “You’ll never become a universe supreme master if you keep practicing all by yourself! Each universe supreme master became one because of their experience and luck, but all of them became universe supreme masters through blood and fire! You can’t train yourself by excessive killings because of the bond you have with your race. Which is why I give you the identity of Blood Cloud Palace Leader! No one will know who you are, and your enemies are all around the universe… Once you show yourself up in the universe, all your enemies will race toward you.”

Sitting Mountain Guest gazed at Luo Feng. “You’ll grow with all the training you have from your enemies. This is the best way I know to cultivate a universe supreme master.”

“They’ll recognize me!” Golden Horne Beast blinked his eyes and was dazed.

“They won’t!” Sitting Mountain Guest waved his hands, and a bloody pearl showed up. “This is a special true treasure called ‘Blood Cloud Pearl.’ It can change your aura and even camouflage your armor. No one will be able to recognize you, and the flying-palace type true treasure Blood Cloud Palace will be yours too. Of course, if you disappoint me, I’ll take back Blood Cloud Palace and Blood Cloud Pearl as I did to your second brother.”

Sitting Mountain Guest gazed at Golden Horned Beast. “My disciple! It’ll be a new journey for you when you become Blood Cloud Palace Leader! Do you dare to accept it?”
