The central mountain range of Thunder Island.
After bidding farewell to Venerable Zhenyan, Luo Feng opened the teleportation interface and searched for Zhou Ze's temple teleportation. As soon as he teleported to the gate of Zhou Ze's palace, he found something was wrong.
Luo Feng looked around in surprise. Wasn't his teacher halfway up the mountain? How did he end up at the top?
"No way, no way? Could it be that Teacher has already broken through to the Universe Master level?" Luo Feng was stunned for a moment, when suddenly a voice came from inside the palace.
"You're all here, what are you standing there for?"
"Oh, teacher, I'm here! Long time no see!" Luo Feng strode in excitedly.
It's been six thousand years since I last saw my teacher. It's been so long, I miss him terribly.
Zhou Ze was Luo Feng's first teacher. He was Luo Feng's teacher even before Luo Feng became a martial artist. They eventually broke out of Earth together and participated in the Genius Battle together. This teacher-student relationship made Luo Feng feel much more at ease in front of Zhou Ze than he did in front of the Chaos City Lord.
As for Venerable Zhenyan, he is a very good teacher, but there is still a certain hierarchy between them. However, he is too familiar with Zhou Ze and feels no restraint at all.
Luo Feng hadn't walked far when he saw Zhou Ze sitting quietly on a deck chair, gazing at the distant lake. The lake stretched as far as the eye could see, and a gentle breeze rustled the dense forest on the shore. It was an extremely tranquil scene that could calm one's mind without one even realizing it.
"Teacher, you seem to be enjoying yourself." Luo Feng walked over with a smile, took out a wooden chair from his storage ring, and half-reclined next to Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "I'm not as driven as you. Cultivation is all about enjoying life—"
Looking at the emerald green lake, Luo Feng said enviously, "Teacher's life is getting better and better, but I can't be so leisurely. My talent is far inferior to yours, so I can only rely on hard work."
Zhou Ze said speechlessly, "You'd better not tell anyone, or you'll get beaten to death—"
"Haha," Luo Feng laughed, "I haven't even reached immortality yet, I'm still extremely young in the universe, and I still need to work hard. But you, teacher, you're not much older than me, and you already want to retire?"
Zhou Ze rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay any attention to Luo Feng.
Luo Feng continued, "Teacher, why is your palace located at the mountaintop? Have you broken through to the level of a Universe Lord?"
"Becoming the Lord of the Universe isn't that easy—" Zhou Ze stretched.
Luo Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then continued, "Indeed, our human race has 1008 cosmic kingdoms, plus various divine kingdoms and cosmic secret realms, making our population unimaginable. Yet even so, we don't even have 20 cosmic lords—"
"But for you, teacher, it's only a matter of time before you break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, right?" Luo Feng smiled.
Zhou Ze said calmly, "Look how impatient you are—while it's difficult to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, I never said it would be difficult for me!"
Luo Feng's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief: "Teacher, have you really broken through to the Universe Master level? Well, the hierarchy among races is very strict! If you hadn't broken through to the Universe Master level, you wouldn't have been able to climb to the top of Thunder Island."
"Wow, you broke through to the level of a Universe Lord in just one epoch? That's too incredible!"
Luo Feng's mind was far from calm. With his authority, he knew very well how difficult it was to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe.
Let alone the Lord of the Universe, even the entire human race only has a few thousand Venerables, and only a hundred thousand Kings. As for the Marquis Immortals and Military Lord Immortals below the King level, their numbers are much greater.
But each of them went through a very long period of time. Even Venerable Candlelight, who was comparable to Kodi, spent hundreds of thousands of years to become a Universe Venerable. After hundreds of millions of years, he still failed to break through to become a Universe Lord.
Becoming the master of the universe in less than an era seems like a fantasy! It's completely beyond imagination.
"I didn't say I broke through to become the Lord of the Universe—" Zhou Ze looked completely bewildered: "You're just making that up."
Luo Feng looked at Zhou Ze with a resentful expression. His teacher had such a wicked sense of humor; he was definitely teasing him just now.
Zhou Ze could no longer hold back his laughter: "I haven't broken through to the level of Universe Lord yet, but I can break through to the level of Universe Lord at any time!"
"Uh—" Luo Feng looked at Zhou Ze suspiciously: "Teacher, do you think I'm stupid?"
"Breakthroughs of this level sometimes require a certain feeling, a sudden inspiration. You need to grasp that spark to break through, right? But that spark is fleeting. You're telling me you can break through to the level of a universe master anytime? You're just kidding me!"
"Believe it or not!" Zhou Ze closed his eyes, put his hands behind his head, and looked relaxed and carefree.
"Alright." Luo Feng didn't believe it in his heart, but seeing Zhou Ze's expression, he didn't say anything.
"Teacher, have you found the second fragment of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual?" Luo Feng asked casually.
Zhou Ze glanced at Luo Feng: "Did Senior Zuo Shan Ke tell you this?"
Luo Feng said awkwardly, "Ahem, yes."
Zhou Ze said calmly, "I found it a long time ago, thousands of years ago. But at that time, you were trapped in the Star Tower and couldn't contact me, so I started cultivating first."
Luo Feng's expression changed: "Teacher, if you've started cultivating, then I can still cultivate, right? —"
"Um, teacher, you've already cultivated the first tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual?"
Luo Feng didn't know this before, but after this Star Tower inheritance, he truly knows the origin and limitations of the Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture.
"Don't worry, you can cultivate, but come back in your true form first and do an experiment with me—" Zhou Ze stood up and said.
Luo Feng followed and asked, "Teacher, what kind of experiment is it? Why are you acting like a researcher?"
.
"You talk too much—" Zhou Ze said with a look of disgust. "You'll see when you get here."
"By the way, be careful after you come out of the Star Tower, even though you've gained a lot in these six thousand years!" Zhou Ze said.
"(o)——" Luo Feng asked, completely bewildered, "Teacher, what's going on? Why are Teacher Chaos, Teacher Zhenyan, and you all saying this?"
Luo Feng's question puzzled Zhou Ze: "Didn't Babata tell you? Such an important matter, shouldn't you have told you as soon as you connected to the virtual universe?"
Luo Feng shook his head: "No, she just reminded me that I had a lot of emails."
"Both Teacher Chaos and Teacher Zhenyan have kept me in suspense and haven't told me yet."
"Teacher, what exactly has happened all these years? Everyone's so mysterious—"
Luo Feng couldn't help but complain.
Zhou Ze pondered for a moment and said, "It's nothing much. It's just that because of me, the cosmic landscape has changed. Thousands of years ago, the three top races—the Zerg, the Demon Race, and the Mechanical Race—joined forces to target our human race, and even the Hong Alliance."
"These past few years haven't been easy for us humans."
"But it's not a big deal. The more they act like this, the more it shows they're guilty, but they can't do anything to me."
