Luo Feng advanced along the ancient, solemn, and secluded path, turning a corner to see a door, which was open.
"Hmm?"
He immediately saw through the door to the various Mechanical parts, weapon components, and other items haphazardly placed inside.
Walking to the doorway, Luo Feng saw a man dressed in a magnificent king's robe, intently observing some Mechanical parts of different styles nearby.
The man in the magnificent king's robe turned his head to look at Luo Feng and smiled, "Since you've arrived, have a seat first."
Luo Feng did not say much, walking to the exquisite black throne opposite the man in the magnificent king's robe and sitting down.
Since His Majesty the God King created the Wuqi Tower and set up so many difficult challenges, causing countless elite soldiers of The World of Jin to follow one after another, there must be a purpose.
Luo Feng observed carefully, secretly thinking, "Strange, even the virtual consciousness of the previous Duan Dong River carried a sense of pressure, but he doesn't have any at all?"
Looking at the man before him, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable closeness, without any apprehension, only ease.
"I presume you are curious why the God King created this Wuqi Tower and these numerous difficult challenges."
The man in the magnificent king's robe looked at Luo Feng, "Now I will tell you… I am the God King of this World of Jin."
His Majesty the God King? The object of loyalty for countless powerhouses in The World of Jin?
Luo Feng was startled. Although he had some suspicions, he still couldn't believe that the man before him was His Majesty the God King.
"To be precise, I am the virtual consciousness left behind after the God King's death." The man in the magnificent king's robe looked at Luo Feng.
Virtual consciousness?
Luo Feng was secretly shocked, it was truly as he had guessed, His Majesty the God King was indeed dead.
Was the colossal entity led by the Origin Will of the Original Universe, carrying The World of Jin, the fallen His Majesty the God King?
"You don't seem very surprised, nothing is too unexpected for you?"
The man in the magnificent king's robe looked at Luo Feng, "Although I observed you from afar before, I didn't discover anything else… but now I know that you are not a lifeform of my World of Jin."
Luo Feng was greatly alarmed, almost wanting to self-destruct and escape immediately.
"Haha… no need to be wary, no need to worry." The man in the magnificent king's robe laughed, "I'll explain it to you carefully, and then you'll understand."
Luo Feng's mind settled slightly, and he listened carefully.
"Back then…"
There was a hint of recollection in the eyes of the man in the magnificent king's robe, "That was a very, very long time ago. I chose a path that was almost certain death, so before departing, I created the Wuqi Tower in The World of Jin and left behind this Title Conferment."
"Once I failed, then perhaps I would still have a chance to reverse it."
"I left, but I left a virtual consciousness here. This virtual consciousness possesses my memories and thoughts, but it cannot be considered a true lifeform."
"Of course—I am this virtual consciousness, and subconsciously I still consider myself the God King."
Luo Feng nodded to indicate understanding.
"What kind of danger the God King experienced after leaving, I do not know, as I cannot contact him."
The man in the magnificent king's robe sighed, "It was only through my understanding of The World of Jin that I one day learned that the God King had fallen."
"The Wuqi Tower has nine floors, and this ninth floor can connect to the Universe Origin core of the entire The World of Jin."
"I frequently visited the Origin core of The World of Jin, and when the God King fell, The World of Jin Origin core naturally underwent significant changes."
The man in the magnificent king's robe looked at Luo Feng, "Also, the reason I determined that you are not a lifeform of my The World of Jin is because—"
"When you entered this ninth floor, the Universe Origin core connected to this ninth floor did not recognize you."
"If you were a lifeform within The World of Jin, you would be a child of this The World of Jin, and naturally receive recognition."
The man in the magnificent king's robe smiled, "And you would be absolutely loyal to the God King, willing to sacrifice your life for him."
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
He understood this, after all, he had also created life and knew that those lifeforms who called him Father God were absolutely loyal to him.
It was the same principle.
The lifeforms within The World of Jin were also absolutely loyal to His Majesty the God King, just like the four great commanders.
If the God King gave an order for them to die, they would not hesitate!
"Oh… since you already know, what do you intend to do?" Luo Feng was wary in his heart.
To kill him, with the other party's ability, it would be too easy, no need for extra words.
A majestic God King talking so much to him must have some purpose.
"You only need to make an oath." The man in the magnificent king's robe said with a light laugh, "When you become a powerhouse of the God King level in the future, you must do your utmost to kill the other three Pinnacle existences."
Oath?
"When I become a powerhouse of the God King level?" Luo Feng was startled, "I am only a Universe Master now."
"Precisely because of that, you don't need to worry."
The man in the magnificent king's robe shook his head, "It's too far away for you now, and you can't help The World of Jin at all. This is just a promise from you, a promise for after you become a God King."
"Don't worry, once you agree, there will naturally be benefits for you."
"If you refuse, even if you choose to self-destruct, I can annihilate your Soul at the moment of your self-destruction."
The man in the magnificent king's robe reminded him, "I know that many lifeforms from outside The World of Jin have the ability to create Clones."
Luo Feng was astonished, it seemed… His Majesty the God King knew a lot.
"I know more than you imagine." The man in the magnificent king's robe looked at Luo Feng, "Make your choice! Will you agree to me, or refuse me?"
"Do I still have a choice?" Luo Feng smiled helplessly.
Just kidding.
With the means left by a God King, Luo Feng also believed that even if he self-destructed, his Soul would be annihilated at the moment of self-destruction, and his many Clones would naturally perish simultaneously.
That would truly be dead beyond dead.
Moreover, this oath was for after becoming a God King.
God King! How distant that was, a level above Eternal True God. Luo Feng himself didn't know if he could Cultivate to that level.
After all, based on clues, he speculated that the God King should be comparable to the third Ancestral Master.
…
"I must confirm that your oath is real, after all, I am only a virtual consciousness. If I were to be deceived by you…"
The man in the magnificent king's robe laughed, then pointed distantly, and lines of Law patterns began to emerge around them.
Instantly, Luo Feng was trapped within a huge cage formed by Law patterns.
"Boom!"
A misty green light enveloped Luo Feng.
"Only then can I know all the changes in your Soul." The man in the magnificent king's robe laughed, "If you are faking it, I will also—Ah!"
The man in the magnificent king's robe suddenly stood up, his face filled with shock.
"What's wrong with me?" Luo Feng wondered.
"Hahaha, hahahaha…" The man in the magnificent king's robe burst into hearty laughter, laughing with immense joy, tears even streaming from the corners of his eyes, as if from extreme happiness.
Luo Feng, however, grew even more puzzled. What was going on?
"Disperse."
The man in the magnificent king's robe pointed at the sky, and the lines of Law patterns that had formed and floated in the Void all dissipated.
"God King Your Majesty, aren't you going to make me swear an oath?" Luo Feng was stunned.
"No need."
The man in the magnificent king's robe smiled and looked at Luo Feng, "Because you have Cultivated the Nine Calamities Secret Tome, there is naturally no need to swear an oath."
"Nine Calamities Secret Tome?" Luo Feng was so shocked he lost his composure.
Nine Calamities Secret Tome!
This was a secret manual that truly changed his destiny. It was precisely because of the Nine Calamities Secret Tome that his path as a powerhouse could reach its current level.
Without the Nine Calamities Secret Tome, perhaps he could also become a powerhouse, but it would be difficult to reach his current level.
According to what Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest said, the Nine Calamities Secret Tome was created by Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest, and could only be passed on to one Cultivator, and that Cultivator had to be from the Earth lineage.
"What exactly is going on?" Luo Feng's mind felt like it was exploding, countless thoughts surfacing at once.
The Nine Calamities Secret Tome could only be Cultivated by the Earth lineage, only one Cultivator could Cultivate it, and it was created by Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest.
But why… would His Majesty the God King know about it?
Yes!
He had long been suspicious. The Nine Calamities Secret Tome was simply too Heaven-Defying, something no other True God could create.
Even beyond True Gods, neither Ancestor Purple Moon nor Ancestor East Emperor had ever heard of such a Heaven-Defying secret manual being created.
Yet, the mysterious Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest had quietly created such a secret manual.
"What's wrong with the Nine Calamities Secret Tome?" Luo Feng pressed curiously.
"Haha, this Nine Calamities Secret Tome is one of the un-transmitted ultimate techniques of my Jin Kingdom!"
The man in the magnificent king's robe laughed heartily, "After Cultivating the Nine Calamities Secret Tome, not only does the divine body rapidly transform, but it also has immense benefits for the Soul, a super ultimate technique that absolutely changes Comprehension Ability and talent."
"Anyone who has Cultivated the Nine Calamities Secret Tome is a true core member of my Jin Kingdom. Since you have cultivated it, you are naturally a core member of my Jin lineage."
"When you rise in the future, if you don't kill those three, those three will kill you."
The man in the magnificent king's robe smiled, "So, you naturally don't need to swear an oath."
…
"The Nine Calamities Secret Tome is an un-transmitted ultimate technique of the Jin Kingdom. This explains why Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest could 'create' such a Heaven-Defying secret manual, and also explains why Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest didn't come to The World of Jin…"
Luo Feng secretly thought, "Because Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest obtained the Legacy of the Jin Kingdom, he is quite knowledgeable about The World of Jin, and due to obtaining the Legacy, he has little interest in The World of Jin."
"I just don't know if the Legacy Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest obtained was the Legacy of the fallen God King, or the Legacy of a certain super powerhouse under the God King?"
"Wait, Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest once said that completing the Title Conferment, besides the Mechanical Flow Secret Treasure Wu Qi God, would also grant an item. I need to take that item out of The World of Jin."
Luo Feng was thoughtful, "What exactly is that item, and why would Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest know that it is stored in the Wuqi Tower?"
"The Wuqi Tower was built by this God King, so Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest's knowledge of that item's existence most likely comes from obtaining the God King's Legacy."
Thinking of this, Luo Feng's eyes lit up. He finally understood a little about the mysterious Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest.
"Your Majesty God King, I heard that completing the Title Conferment, besides having the authority to exchange for the Mechanical Flow Secret Treasure Wu Qi God, also grants an item?"
Luo Feng asked curiously, "May I ask what that item is…?"
"Item?"
The man in the magnificent king's robe was first startled, then immediately asked with a serious expression, "Who told you that completing the Title Conferment grants an item?!"
"My teacher…" Luo Feng hurriedly added, "It's the teacher who taught me the Nine Calamities Secret Tome."
"Nine Calamities Secret Tome? Taught?"
The man in the magnificent king's robe paused slightly, then pressed, "You mean, the Nine Calamities Secret Tome was taught to you by someone, and he also told you that completing the Title Conferment can grant an item?"
"Yes."
Luo Feng was a bit confused by His Majesty the God King's questioning.
"Haha… so that's it, so that's it!"
The man in the magnificent king's robe burst into loud laughter, his face beaming with genuine joy, even a few tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, as if from extreme happiness.
"Your Majesty God King?"
Luo Feng looked bewildered, not understanding why His Majesty was so emotional.
"Haha… I'm fine, just too happy. It's been a long time since I've been this happy."
The man in the magnificent king's robe explained with a smile, then looked at Luo Feng with gentle eyes, "Since he told you to come and retrieve that item, then I shall give it to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Luo Feng nodded in gratitude.
"Although he told you to come and retrieve that item, I still must warn you, that item is very dangerous. You must not be influenced by it too deeply…"
The man in the magnificent king's robe warned, "Hmm… at least before you give that item to him, it's best not to see it again!"
"Dangerous?" Luo Feng was surprised and suspicious. Just retrieving an item would be dangerous?
"Naturally. Otherwise, I wouldn't have placed that item on the ninth floor of the Wuqi Tower, guarded personally by me."
The man in the magnificent king's robe nodded, then warned again, "When that item appears later, you must guard your mind and not be influenced too deeply, otherwise I won't feel comfortable entrusting it to you, because I'm not sure… if you need it."
"What happens if I'm influenced too deeply?" Luo Feng asked curiously.
"If you are influenced too deeply by that item, you will involuntarily try to refine it, and that is where the danger lies…"
The man in the magnificent king's robe said softly, "If you need it, it's fine; refining it will bring unimaginable benefits. But if you don't need it… you will be corrupted!"
"Corrupted?"
Luo Feng was startled, and a sense of alarm immediately arose in his heart. He quickly pressed, "What happens after being corrupted?"
"After being corrupted, at best, you will go mad and require a powerful will to remain conscious, and you will need to constantly dedicate a portion of your will to suppress it."
The man in the magnificent king's robe said solemnly, "And if the corruption is severe, you will no longer be yourself, or you will directly fall!"
Hiss!
Listening to this, Luo Feng immediately drew a sharp breath.
Terrifying!
That item was truly dangerous, no wonder this God King built the Wuqi Tower and placed that item on the ninth floor, guarded by a virtual consciousness, before he left.
If that item were to fall into The World of Jin, perhaps The World of Jin itself would turn into a purgatory!
"Get ready, I'm about to retrieve that item."
The man in the magnificent king's robe first warned him, and only after seeing Luo Feng's solemn expression did he gently wave his hand.
Whoosh!
A crack suddenly appeared in the Void, and a dazzling, cloud mist wine-like bloody light seeped out from the crack, immediately capturing Luo Feng's attention.
Luo Feng merely saw the bloody light, and his eyes were involuntarily drawn to it…
