Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 53, "The Realm Within a Realm," concludes; the loan for the 'Nine Universes Chaos Stele' is complete! (2.7k words, please continue reading)
"No."

Luo Feng said it with absolute certainty.

"Alright." Lord Mist was a little disappointed, but he didn't intend to say anything more. If he did, the fact that there was a problem with the account would become too obvious.

Luo Feng urged:
"Please exchange the treasure for me first."

"take it."

Lord Wu took out the treasures one by one, and collected all the Thunderstones that Luo Feng had released. He was too lazy to care how this kid obtained the Thunderstones.

He just wanted to have fun.

Look at all these organizations outside, fighting each other to the death.

After acquiring the treasures, Chen Qi stored them in his system space and used them to repay his loans one by one. He had only repaid a few valuable items when he received a system notification:

[Borrower 'Luo Feng' has fully cleared his debts. Given his proactive repayment this time, his credit score will be significantly improved!]

"My credit score has improved again, time to start designing the loan..."

"I've had a really good idea for a while now!"

A member of the Ninth Prince's party from Black Dragon Mountain entered Thunder Castle and respectfully greeted the white-bearded old man:

"Lord Mist, I've come to exchange for treasures."

"What to change?"

Lord Mist looked sleepy and seemed completely unconcerned.

"May I see the list first?" the Ninth Prince's subordinate pleaded, and the list appeared in front of him the next moment.

But
The top is mostly 'empty'.

"none???"

The Ninth Prince's subordinates all felt like they were hallucinating. He remembered that there were still many treasures left before, but now how come there are only thirty or forty treasures left out of more than three hundred?
Moreover, they are all very distinctive.

It's either the three most precious inheritance crystal ball accounts, or some treasures that are of little use to the Ninth Prince.

"Kid, what are you standing there for? That's all. A guy from Hundred Tigers Pavilion came by earlier and swapped everything out." Lord Wu said casually, as if he had mentioned it inadvertently.

Have all the staff at Baihulou been replaced?

How many treasures will we get?

The Ninth Prince's men immediately realized that this matter was extremely important.

"I'm not changing it."

He quickly left Thunder Castle.

As Lord Mist watched his departing figure, a slight smile appeared on his lips. He used the castle's layout to observe the surroundings outside the castle.

He wanted to see some fun.

Watch as several factions clash!
In a short time
News spread that 'Baihulou' had exchanged a large number of treasures, leaving the people of Baihulou completely bewildered.

When did they acquire so many treasures?

And with so many Thunderstones, I definitely want to exchange them for a Legacy Crystal Ball account!
Inside the Hundred Tigers Pavilion, there was also a search for information about the person who exchanged the treasure. One force and organization after another focused their attention on the Hundred Tigers Pavilion.

The stellar-level army dispatched from outside has now assembled.

Upon hearing of this unusual situation, all the major organizations began a manhunt, but they were unable to find the member from Hundred Tigers Tower who was suspected of exchanging for a large number of treasures.

Of course they couldn't find it.

The person Luo Feng was impersonating was actually a dead member of the Hundred Tigers Tower... As for the 'Soul Devouring Beast,' it was now disguised as the Cloud-Piercing Vine and carried on Luo Feng's person.

After a long time.

Luo Feng and his two companions dug up a batch of Thunderstones and went to 'Thunder Castle' to exchange them for items, where they encountered some members of the organization.

The organization's members shared information about the 'mysterious members of the Hundred Tigers Tower'.

"What! There's such a thing?"

"Yes, there are basically no treasures left to exchange for."

"Brother, Luo Feng, does that mean all those Thunderstones we dug up were for nothing?" Thor looked dejected upon hearing the news.

The Ninth Prince's subordinate, 'Sachison,' immediately arrived, saying:

"The Thunderstone wasn't a complete waste; the most valuable triple account is still there, but some of the less valuable ones are indeed gone..."

Satchison was specifically tasked by Ninth Prince Brolin to keep an eye on Luo Feng and his group... and arrived immediately.

"Is the lightning magic still available?"

Thor had been secretly looking forward to it. He had talked to his third brother for a long time, and he was quite interested in the lightning secrets of Lord Kabu.

Satchison said:

“It’s gone.”

Death
Luo Feng was somewhat disappointed. He learned from Chen Qi that the inheritance of Lord Wu and Lord Kabu was actually hidden in one of those sets of lightning secret techniques.

However, he doesn't regret it.

“If any of you still have Thunderstones, why not trade with our Ninth Prince? He’s currently buying up Thunderstones!” Satchison offered, noting that various factions were frantically collecting Thunderstones in hopes of acquiring the three accounts. He added:

"Among them, three sets of lightning secret techniques were just snatched from adventurers by our team. Mr. Luo Feng, are you interested?"

The Ninth Prince didn't care about any lightning techniques.

If we could switch to Thunderstone, that would be a good thing!
Upon hearing this, Thor looked at Luo Feng.

"We'll take it. You can have the Thunderstone. Is the original price acceptable?" Luo Feng offered. The Thunder Technique contained treasures, and although Chen Qi said it wouldn't be of much help to him now, it could be given to the Thunder God.

"Ok, Ok!"

"Mr. Luo Feng, you want the lightning technique? We also stole a set of that... How about we trade?"

Immediately, people from Sanfu Mountain also came to join in the fun.

And so, Luo Feng acquired four sets of lightning secret techniques. As for where the remaining two sets were, no one knew.

However, there's already a two-thirds chance that the 'Lord of Kabu's' inheritance is in their hands. Luo Feng immediately thought to himself:

"That depends on whether Thor and Lord Kabu have the right connection."

"If not, I'll get him some inheritance later when I have the chance. Anyway, the inheritance of a realm lord isn't that useful."

All eyes are now on the account with the 'Triple Inheritance Crystal Ball'... No one knows that Luo Feng is the biggest winner in this adventure within a world.

The journey through the realms within realms is also accompanied by a series of open and covert struggles.

it's over!
Interestingly, Brolin and his grandfather managed to collect the last three accounts with the 'Spatial Secret Technique Inheritance Crystal Ball' by paying a huge price.

The legacy of the Kabu World Lord ultimately fell into the hands of Thor.

Other forces, having heard that someone close to Luo Feng was fond of 'lightning secret techniques,' went out of their way to collect and curry favor with him, and in the end, all six sets fell into the hands of the Thunder God.

Lord Mist has no way to escape!
Ironically, Lord Mist was hidden in one of the lightning-based secret techniques auxiliary computers that he had acquired through a trade with 'Satchison,' an underling of the Ninth Prince Brolin.

They missed out on true inheritance.

Destined but not separated.

virtual universe.

Manluo personally met with Luo Feng and invited him to a private room. Looking at this arrogant young man, she could only smile to herself.

"Lord Manluo."

Luo Feng called out respectfully.

His adventures in the realm within a realm also made him realize just how lofty the status of this Lord Manluo was. He only needed to pass on a message to those organizations to treat him like a distinguished guest, and they dared not neglect him in the slightest.

Chen Qi, watching from within the system space, gave a single instruction:
"As long as you win first place in the Genius Battle, your status will surpass that of Manluo."

"The leaders of the guards in the Primal Realm are all Immortals!"

Manlu had previously estimated Luo Feng's strength.

Knowing that he is an outstanding genius, capable of quickly advancing through the Qianwu branch to the headquarters, and step by step having the opportunity to advance to the four great secret realms.

Although this kid is arrogant, he is still very young and has unlimited potential. It's just a pity that he doesn't have much time left before the Genius Battle.

He patiently explained:

"Luo Feng, your adventure in the Realm Within a Realm is over. Now focus on your cultivation and prepare for the Battle of Geniuses."

"But let me say this first: even if you don't get a good ranking, don't be discouraged. There are countless geniuses in the universe, and it's perfectly normal to fall behind temporarily. Don't feel inferior because of a temporary setback."

"Before I became immortal, I was defeated by many geniuses of my generation."

"Many of them cultivated in the four secret realms of the virtual universe, but most of them died in the end, while I gradually achieved immortality."

“Lord Manluo, I understand what you mean,” Luo Feng replied respectfully.

Manlu nodded and said:

"Good, go ahead!"

As Luo Feng departed, Manlu watched his retreating figure with a touch of regret. She thought to herself, "It's a pity the Genius Battle doesn't have many more years left."
"such a pity!"

"If this kid were given a few decades, he might actually be able to break into the top of the Universe Kingdom through the Genius Battle and enter the Doomsday Secret Realm, which is the bottom of the four secret realms."

On the way back to Earth.

Inside a spaceship, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were in different rooms. Luo Feng had experienced the benefits of having an immortal background and had fully realized how important it was to become a strong person.

He harbored a deep longing for the universe and the starry sky.

The question in my mind is:

"Chen Qi, let's borrow some more money. I'm determined to become number one in the Universe Genius Battle!"

"Great!" Chen Qi was surprised. It was extremely rare for Luo Feng to take the initiative to ask for a loan. In fact, with Luo Feng's current cultivation speed, if he learned a secret technique and bought a 'Divine Weapon', he should be able to fight Bo Lan head-on and win.

but
With a loan limit available, why not use it?

Chen Qi had already decided on his target. This time, the loan amount was very high; he would directly borrow a low-end version of the 'Nine Universes Chaos Stele'!
The 'Stepping Stone - Berlan' project is officially complete!
