Chapter 1174 - Spirit

Chapter 1174: Spirit

The universe perceived that it was not dangerous to make true treasures recognize someone as their master. Luo Feng had a different experience as he tried to make Star Tower recognize him as its master. He knew exactly how dangerous it was. If he got killed and some great being tried to make Star Tower recognize him as its master! Tower Pearl was strong enough to kill that great being!

When the spirit of the wing true treasure conveyed a message to Luo Feng’s mind, he was extremely careful, as he didn’t want to lose his life trying to make a supreme true treasure recognize it as its master. Which was why he kept pondering what the spirit said.

The conditions for recognizing someone as a master? Perfect gene level and powerful willpower? He fit them both.

He had a perfect gene level, and he had the willpower of a universe master as a universe knight!

I’ll see what sort of games you’re playing, Luo Feng thought.

The feeble ripples permeated and penetrated Luo Feng’s mind. They kept talking to each other.

“The two conditions you just mentioned?” Luo Feng was overjoyed as he said, “I fit them both. My life gene level is perfect, and I’m a universe knight!”

“You fit them both? You’re a universe knight? Aren’t you a universe master?”

“I am a universe knight,” said Luo Feng.

“Don’t lie,” said the spirit. “You won’t be able to make me recognize you as a master if you don’t fit the conditions.”

Weng! Weng! Weng!

The wing on Luo Feng’s back kept shaking. Actually, the Shi Wu Wings had been shaking intensely in the cave outside. It had been several months since Luo Feng had arrived at the mysterious space, and the Shi Wu Wings kept shaking. The closer it got, the more intense it shook. Luo Feng was only able to make sure that his Shi Wu Wings didn’t fly out.

“I’m not lying. I am a universe knight and have perfect life gene level,” said Luo Feng. “I’ve fulfilled both the criteria, but I can’t make you recognize me as your owner. My godly power can’t even be near you.”

“You mean the mind that hit you?” the spirit said. “The mind came from those three bloodstains, and it’s suppressed by me. I’m trying to get it off me, so it’s been struggling. It doesn’t want any other life forms to approach me. Once I recognize someone else as my owner, I’ll recover more quickly if I have an owner to help me, which is why it tried everything to stop you.”

“I see,” said Luo Feng.

“If you want me to recognize you as my master, it’s pretty simple. Though you can’t get close to me, I can fly a part of my core out. As long as you grab that component and make it recognize you as its master, I will, too.”

Luo Feng was thrilled, “That’s right. I can’t get close, but if a part of your core leaves your body, I can surely grab it.”

“But why should I trust you, human?” said the spirit.

“What?” Luo Feng was dazed.

“I am broken, and I need to be repaired—repaired with some true treasure material—and I wish for my master to help me,” said the spirit. “I’ve told you that I’ll recognize someone who can help me repair myself. I need you to show your sincerity and give me some material of a true treasure to help me recover.”

“The precious material of a true treasure?”

“At least enough material to make a pinnacle true treasure,” said the spirit.

“You expect me to have that sort of material?” said Luo Feng.

“Or a pinnacle true treasure,” said the spirit. “I know you have lots of pinnacle true treasures on you. Like the blade you’re carrying.”

Luo Feng looked hesitant.

“I need to repair myself!” the spirit said, sounding a bit irritated. “You won’t need that blade anymore when you have me. I’ll be much stronger. It’s time to show your sincerity. Give me the material. I’ll absorb some, and I’ll give you the core.”

“You can lose one pinnacle true treasure now. The more you invest in me, the more you’ll value me in the future,” said the spirit. “I need to make sure you’re determined to repair me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to change anything once I recognize you as my master. If you can’t even do this, I won’t be able to trust you. Then I’ll wait until the next great being come.”

“Am I the first one here?” asked Luo Feng.

“No, two came before,” said the spirit. “A universe master came not long before. He was flying a top-tier palace true treasure, but I killed him instantly. There was another one a long time ago, right after I was born. He came here in a pinnacle palace true treasure, and he talked with me for a long time. He told me a lot about the outer world. He let me know about universe masters and universe knights. He’s the first life form I saw. I wasn’t intelligent back then, and I was willing to recognize him as my master. Unfortunately! He didn’t have a powerful mind. He often came here to sharpen it quickly and helped me look for the material. However, I lost track of him after some time. He hasn’t been here for an eternity. He may have died.” The spirit sighed.

Luo Feng listened carefully. That superior mind kept hitting Luo Feng.

“It’s the wing! The wing! It’s terrifying! It’ll kill you if you don’t go!” It kept roaring. “It’ll kill you! It’ll kill you!”

Luo Feng stayed calm.

“Give me the material of a pinnacle true treasure, or a pinnacle true treasure,” said the spirit. “I don’t think you’ll care about one pinnacle true treasure, given your power. Are you not willing to trade one pinnacle true treasure? The mind from the bloodstains scared you? It fears that I’ll eliminate it, which is why it keeps telling you to leave. I’m not going to urge you anymore. Make your own decision.” The spirit went quiet.

Luo Feng started to contact the spirit of his Star Tower. “Star Tower, that pair of white wings just told me the conditions for me to become its master…”

Luo Feng told the spirit of Star Tower everything. Star Tower wasn’t intelligent enough, but its operational speed might be quicker than that of a universe supreme master.

“Is it a trap?” asked Luo Feng.

A mental wave emanated from the spirit of Star Tower. “Master, lots of sector lords, undying fighters, and even universe supreme masters have ventured inside me. I’ve gathered lots of information. However, I don’t know much about other supreme true treasures. I can’t find anything deceiving about what the spirit of the wings just said.”

“Okay.” Luo Feng nodded.

Silence.

Star Tower shrank to 100 meters and floated beside the white wings.

It was natural for Luo Feng to be hesitant. After all, everyone knew that it was difficult to make a supreme true treasure recognize someone as its master. When a great being wasn’t sure, he wouldn’t just give away a pinnacle true treasure.

Was he willing to take such a gamble? Normally, great beings would be willing to risk it. After all, only those great beings with at least a pinnacle palace true treasure could make it to the spirit of the wing. Hence, for those great beings, they would be willing to trade a pinnacle true treasure for a supreme true treasure. After all, there was only one chance, which was why the spirit of the wing wasn’t rushing anything.

I’m not going to rush anything, either, thought Luo Feng. I’ll spend the time sharpening my willpower. It’s set me up, and it won’t be able to wait for too long. I’ll see what it’s going to play next. It won’t be able to do anything to me as long as I stay in Star Tower.

Luo Feng was pretty sure that the spirit of the wing was lying to him.

It thinks it’s smart, but it doesn’t realize that its story is flawed, Luo Feng thought. I’ll wait and see.

Luo Feng started to wait.

Time flew by, and Luo Feng got closer and closer to the white wing. That willpower kept hitting him, but it was a fantastic chance for Luo Feng to sharpen his own willpower. He kept moving forward while challenging the limit of his willpower.

After six years, Star Tower was only 15 kilometers away from the white wings.

The Shi Wu Wings on Luo Feng trembled more intensely.

“I, I…”

A ripple came from Shi Wu Wing.

Luo Feng was startled. The terrifying mind hit him, forcing him to drive Star Tower back to 20 kilometers away from the white wing. Only at that point was he able to resist that pressure and stabilize himself.

“That ripple?” Luo Feng was startled.

“I… I…”

A feeble ripple came from Shi Wu Wing.

“Shi Wu Wings? Shi Wu Wings?” Luo Feng was shocked.

Those ripples… were coming from his Shi Wu Wings?

A spirit had been born in Shi Wu Wing? A top-tier true treasure? No, it must have been a component of a supreme true treasure! That pair of white wings was also a component, but it was much stronger. A spirit had been born in those white wings, but that didn’t mean his Shi Wu Wings couldn’t have a spirit.

However, why had the spirit only shown up now? He’d been waiting for the next step from those white wings, but a spirit had been born in his Shi Wu Wings.

“I… I…”

The ripples were feeble. At first, they couldn’t even convey a message. After six days, it managed to send the first message.

“I… Mas… ter…”

Like a baby, the spirit of Shi Wu Wing was weak. However, Luo Feng remained patient. Time went by, and the spirit grew more mature. After almost a year, it was finally able to converse with Luo Feng.

A mental ripple was sent: “Master, I want to get out.”

“Out?” asked Luo Feng. “To where?”

“I want to… I want to eat the light outside!” said the weak ripple. “Light… The light of the origin. That’s the origin.”

“What’s the origin?” asked Luo Feng.

“The origin is there…” said the feeble ripple. “Broken memories. There are six pairs of wings in my memories. The origin is there. I need the light—the light from the origin.”

Luo Feng was completely bewildered.

These wings…?
