Just as Luo Feng arrived at Fog Island, in the rock layer 15,000 meters underground, the demon Babata also became extremely excited: "I have waited for 50,000 years, and finally I have found someone whose qualifications meet the standards."
"Target locked!"
"The hints are beginning; await guidance!"
Afterwards, Luo Feng fought with the King-level monster on Fog Island and killed it, then discovered a familiar crystal—the Wood Sprout Crystal.
"There's actually a Kiyaya Crystal on Kirishima Island!"
Luo Feng's heart stirred, and he quickly put it away and continued searching the island. Soon, he found one wooden crystal after another, and unknowingly, he went deeper underground.
After discovering an extremely unusual fragment, Luo Feng finally found a spaceship ruin that had never been discovered before.
"Is this why Master sent me here?"
Looking at the ruins and the large amount of wood crystals unearthed, Luo Feng immediately thought of notifying his master, but then he came to his senses.
The fact that his master sent him here means that he already knew about this site, which also means that something about him might be exactly what the site is after.
"Is she a psychic?"
Luo Feng silently thought to himself, and then successfully entered the spaceship using the special fragments and the function of the Sky Shuttle, encountering a large number of unknown corpses along the way. In addition, he also found a large number of Wood Crystals.
They found a large amount of Wood Crystals so easily that even though Luo Feng was being guided so much, he eventually came to his senses.
But at that moment, the light in the entire hall suddenly dimmed, and a figure about 1.45 meters tall, with two sharp horns on his forehead, blood-red eyes, and looking like a child, appeared in the hall.
"Luo Feng, we've finally met!" The devilish child introduced himself in a low voice, tinged with joy, "My name is Babata, the devil Babata!"
Chapter 76 I refuse
"Demon Babata!"
Luo Feng looked at the smart projector in front of him with a wary expression. The name itself didn't sound like that of a good person.
Ignoring Luo Feng's wariness, the demon Babata led him to Hu Yanbo and explained his purpose and the surrounding situation.
"Huyan Bo, the master of Meteorite Star!"
Luo Feng thought of his cultivation lineage and respectfully kowtowed several times to the corpse in front of him.
The entire cultivation system on Earth has been influenced by Hu Yanbo, including his own spiritual cultivation techniques and weapons, so it is only right to pay homage to him.
Then Babata told Luo Feng about how vast the universe was, how powerful the immortal gods were, and what kind of power his master, Huyanbo, possessed.
At first, Luo Feng was deeply impressed, but after calming down, he realized it wasn't all that impressive. The universe is so vast, what does it have to do with a tiny planetary level like his?
Moreover, if the Demon Babata is stuffed with too much and too big stuff at once, it becomes an empty pile of numbers.
As for Hu Yanbo, the master mentioned by Babata, one question revealed that he was immortal, indestructible, and invincible in the universe. Upon inspection, he found a corpse lying in a crystal coffin for 50,000 years, completely dead, with only an intelligent system remaining.
"Apprenticeship!"
"I reject!"
When Luo Feng finally heard the demon Babata's request, he refused without hesitation, leaving Babata, who had been talking until his throat was dry, dumbfounded.
"This is insane! How can anyone be so stupid!"
Babata simply couldn't understand. Although it sounded unpleasant, his master was already dead. He could roam the universe freely simply by taking a corpse as his master. How could anyone refuse?
Babata was somewhat confused and expressed his shock!
"I've already taken on a master!"
Luo Feng, having regained his senses, also noticed these problems, but a man's word is his bond, and some things he had to stick to, even if only for a little while.
"Your master is just a mere stellar-level being, how could he possibly compare to my master?" Babata roared. "Let me tell you, he sent you here because he's definitely eyeing the inheritance of Meteorite Star. If you just appear before him like this, he'll definitely be ready to kill you and steal the treasure. With you being just a lowly planetary-level being, you simply can't resist."
No matter what Babata said, Luo Feng maintained his opinion: "I don't believe that Master Lu is that kind of person. I need to ask my master for his opinion on this matter, or at least get his approval."
Despite saying that, Luo Feng still had his own considerations. Firstly, he didn't trust Babata. After all, he was an adult and couldn't easily believe certain 'things,' especially since Babata had mentioned 'body possession,' which made him uneasy.
The second purpose is a test. Luo Feng, who has come to terms with it, is not very opposed to taking a dead person as his master, but he still needs to test his position: whether he is truly intended to be a disciple or just a tool.
To be honest, if his master truly coveted his inheritance, Luo Feng wouldn't hesitate to hand it over, given that his master's aptitude far surpassed his own. If it were his master, there should be a chance of reaching the level of an immortal god.
In the end, becoming a living disciple of an immortal god would be far better than becoming a dead disciple. After all, Babata himself said that it was almost impossible to train him to become immortal.
Ultimately, under Luo Feng's insistence, Babata finally compromised and agreed to go back with him.
"If this were in the past, anyone who dared to refuse an immortal god's offer to become their disciple would have been dead countless times over," Babata sighed.
While Luo Feng's actions seemed somewhat risky, they also reflected his character. Although Babata didn't have a clear allegiance, having a respectful disciple was far better than having an ungrateful one.
If something unexpected happens, it will return to the Meteorite Star, outlive Lu Yunhe, and wait for the next 50,000 years. Thanks to the Meteorite Star's defenses, it is virtually impossible for anything below the level of an immortal god to breach them.
"Master, I'm back!"
After listening to Babata's rambling on and on, Luo Feng finally found Lu Yunhe and told him what had just happened.
"Did I take on a stupid apprentice?!"
Looking at Luo Feng's straightforward face, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but say, "It's just inheriting the estate of a dead person, what's there to hesitate about?"
"What dead person!"
Hearing Lu Yunhe's impolite words, Babata couldn't stand it anymore and used the virtual technology of the auxiliary light brain to materialize his image.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Lu Yunhe ignored Babata and solemnly said to Luo Feng, "Luo Feng, you are still young and your vision is not broad, so you don't understand some things. You will understand when you get to the universe. It is normal to have a group of teachers if you want to become a strong person. The cultivation time is very long. When your cultivation surpasses your teachers, you will naturally need a stronger master."
"Today I ferry you across, another day you will ferry me across!"
"Luo Feng, when you reach the universe, if you encounter someone stronger than your master who will take you as their disciple, you must not refuse. If your disciple's development is hindered because of your master, wouldn't that be your master's fault?"
"Master!"
Upon hearing Lu Yunhe's words, Luo Feng felt a surge of warmth in his heart: "Master, please rest assured, your disciple will never forget your teachings."
Upon hearing Lu Yunhe's words, Babata couldn't help but say, "Hey, you there, are you interested in joining Meteorite Star? My master is a high and mighty immortal god!"
"If I join Meteorite Star, will I get the core inheritance?" Lu Yunhe asked in return.
“You are not a spiritualist, so I cannot give you the core inheritance of Meteorite Star.” Babata also had his own insistence: “However, my master once took in some servants, who were also at the level of immortal gods. I can give you their inheritance.”
"Then forget it!" Lu Yunhe shook his head. If he wouldn't even give him the core inheritance, then there was no point in mentioning Hu Yanbo's account. The inheritance of some immortal servants was not of much significance to him.
For him now, the legacy of the White Mountain Realm Lord is enough, and once he joins the Virtual Universe Company, he will not lack cultivation secrets.
"What? Do you know what you're refusing?"
Babata felt like he was falling behind the times, or that there was something wrong with the inheritance of Meteorite Star, since he looked down on one or two of them!
“I know!” Lu Yunhe nodded, as if he had thought of something: “Although I don’t want to join, I recommend two people to join. They comprehended their domains when they were at the planetary level, so they should be more than qualified to join your Meteorite Star!”
"To comprehend a domain at the planetary level, that's incredibly high comprehension. I agree."
Upon hearing Lu Yunhe's introduction, Babata agreed without hesitation. Such talent would be highly sought after even in the universe, making him absolutely qualified to join Meteorite Star.
"Hong and Thor!"
Luo Feng's face lit up with joy. He was delighted to have these two seniors join him, after all, he had grown up listening to their stories.
Afterwards, Lu Yunhe summoned Hong and Lei Shen and explained the situation to them.
Upon learning of the situation on Meteorite Star, Hong and Thor, two seasoned veterans, were overjoyed. After all, a sect with only three members was practically nonexistent.
"One or two of them are either idiots or bastards. What kind of disciples have I taken in for Meteorite Star?" Babata wailed in the intelligent space.
Chapter 77 Golden Horned Behemoth
"Luo Feng, now we really are brothers!"
After Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng finished their apprenticeship ceremony, they couldn't help but smile at each other, which was indeed true to some extent.
"Humph!"
Looking at the three people before him, Babata felt a headache coming on. He could already imagine what Meteorite Star would look like in the future. However, with these three around, Meteorite Star could be considered to have been re-established in the universe.
"Lu Yunhe, you just mentioned 'universe,' is there a way to travel to the universe?" After dealing with Luo Feng's matter, Babata also noticed Lu Yunhe's choice of words.
The Meteorite Starship is now severely damaged, and if Luo Feng wants to improve his strength, he must find a way to go to space.
"Heading to the universe!"
Upon hearing Babata's words, Luo Feng and his two companions, who had been joking around, instantly fell silent. Hong and Thor, in particular, were now stuck on Earth, making further progress difficult, and were focused on venturing into space.
“I do have a way to travel to the universe,” Lu Yunhe said. “However, Babata, you need to give me the coordinates of the dark universe around Earth first, otherwise I won’t be able to come back.”
Leaving Earth is easy, but returning home is troublesome. The dark universe coordinates corresponding to thousands of light-years around Earth have been hidden by Hu Yanbo using a secret method; without guidance, it's impossible to enter. (In other words, the secret method has affected a space roughly the distance from the Sun to Saturn within the dark universe.)
"The coordinates of the dark universe!" Babata pondered for a moment and asked, "How will you enter the universe?"
For Babata, the secret technique cast by Huyanbo was key to protecting Meteorite Star and could not be easily handed over.
"I've gotten my hands on that mechanical race spaceship on Earth," Lu Yunhe said casually. Seeing the puzzled looks on Luo Feng and the other two's faces, he added, "It's the No. 1 civilization ruins."
"Damn it, that's the property of Meteorite Star."
Hearing Lu Yunhe's nonchalant words, Babata was almost driven mad. That mechanical race spaceship was a top-tier world lord level, extremely precious.
However, after Luo Feng's persuasion, Babata calmed down. What's done is done, and for him at the moment, apart from the core inheritance of Meteorite Star, everything else is negotiable.
Upon learning that Lu Yunhe had obtained the immortal-class mechanical race spaceship, Babata was still puzzled. The other party did indeed have the ability to travel to the universe, but returning might be difficult, though it would only take a thousand years.
"Give!"
After weighing the pros and cons, Babata agreed to hand over the coordinates corresponding to the Dark Universe Secret Technique cast by Huyanbo to Lu Yunhe.
"Okay!" Lu Yunhe received the information using the Delacion sub-body, then uploaded it to the network, so that Ultraman's clone could pick him up.
"I'll send someone to pick us up. While we're at it, the three of you can brush up on your cosmic knowledge with Babata. By the way, the universal language is the Relic Script, so remember to learn it."
"Pick us up?"
"You can communicate with the universe!" Babata felt like he was going crazy again. How could he communicate with the universe in such a confined environment as Earth?
"Do you know how valuable Meteorite Star is? Once it's discovered by powerful beings in the universe, Earth is doomed." Babata kept shouting, showing none of the composure expected of an intelligent life form.
