"Demon mountain actually has treasures the virtual universe would desire?" Luo Feng thought within.

The history of demon mountain was extremely ancient. It had existed long before the Virtual Universe company had taken control of the absolute beginning region. A naturally formed mountain as such would definitely have treasures that were out of the ordinary. It would be normal for them to allow undyings to explore it.

However, are there really such treasures?

Luo Feng frowned.

"Very likely!"

"The aboriginals of 9 star ocean all call demon mountain the Inheritance forbidden land for hundreds of millions of years. They definitely wouldn’t call it as such for no reason, there’s definitely a meaning behind it!" Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed more, "And Babata’s scan showed that the old man said it with full confidence that there were frequent undyings that explored the mountain, this were probably verified information too."

"Undyings entering here, for what?"

"For something to attract the undyings, these must not be normal treasures at all."

"That old man said that the Virtual Universe company frequently arranges for high level beings and undyings to enter, he probably has me mixed up with their high level beings. They don’t know that im currently just on a training mission." Luo Feng smiled, suddenly he was stunned.

"No!" Luo Feng stared wide eyed, a look of fear.

"Training mission?"

"Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!" His mind flashed with thoughts, he instantly guessed a few of the mysteries. "Only a bystander can see the picture clearly! Indeed this is true…Those of us undergoing these training missions mostly haven’t understood this. However the aboriginals have seen the truth!"

"Training mission?"

"If it were purely for risk, the Virtual Universe company could completely create a risk environment specially for the geniuses to do it in. Why would they need to send them to such a far away naturally produced mysterious place?" His eyes gleamed, "While we are to train on one side, the more important thing is…for us to get the opportunity to evolve even further in a huge burst!"

"From the Blood River world mission, I can see how the virtual universe plans its nurture."

"The Blood River crystal of that world is a contraband item, however, they still let us do the mission. Why? For us to get the chance to absorb the crystals, raising both our comprehension and strength." His eyes glowed, "Right, just like that!"

"The training missions aren’t simply for training. There should still be other miraculous encounters awaiting us geniuses." Luo Feng squinted his eyes.

In his mind the many memories of the dangerous level missions flashed.

During the 1st Blood River world mission, he had a miraculous encounter and gained much from it. However obviously…this was an opportunity supplied by the Virtual Universe company.

The 2nd Dragon tower planet mission, as he hunted each dragon then, he found it strange, the number of types of dragons there was simply too many and extremely powerful. For an ancient planet to produce so many powerful dragon types, that was simply unbelievable. On top of that, the sacred land of the planet was a majestic tower…named dragon tower, there were too many powerful dragon types surrounding that tower. He simply finished the mission back then without actually going to explore in.

The 3rd Space Void mission, an endless cliff floated in space, and in between were peculiar thick chains. This existence was simply too peculiar, Luo Feng was extremely cautious then, only entering a few 1,000 km into its depths, collecting the required mission items before leaving immediately.

...

5 dangerous level missions.

This 6th mission was the impossible level mission. The mission seemed simple with its requirements for completion, as there were only two of them. One, was to survive 3 months (100,000 points) and the 2nd was to survive for 3 years (300,000 points).

"These places, none of them are that simple!"

"Just testing and training alone, the Virtual Universe company which has everything doesn’t need to go to such lengths, they could totally create a dangerous environment to train its people. Rather than send them to such crazy secret region places. And like the blood river crystals, they are contraband!" Luo Feng frowned, "I’m sure these places still have some secrets! And these secrets…some of them should have great benefits for us!"

What was the aim of the Virtual Universe company?

To train, and to nurture ofcourse!

But, the miraculous encounters these places had, were actually the true hidden rewards for the missions.

"Indeed!"

"It should be like that!"

"Otherwise, there’d be no need for us to go to such dangerous places just to gain experience. No such need at all! Letting us go to Blood River world, they are probably wishing for us to become blood warriors and even black warriors! Heading to dragon tower, space void, they probably had some other motives."

"By letting absolute geniuses enter demon mountain, they probably wish too that we’d acquire the inheritance of the forbidden land." Luo Feng nodded. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed right. This was the true thought process of their nurture and training, giving them additional opportunities while training.

"Whether it’s a black warrior, or acquiring the inheritance, they’d both be very hard. Otherwise, there’d long be a genius legendary story of one who’ve acquired it over these trillion years. The Virtual Universe company wouldn’t then need to keep sending undyings in." Luo Feng nodded.

This ancient demon mountain most definitely has treasures!

And acquiring them would be extremely difficult. After all the Virtual Universe company only gave one chance to acquire them to each genius.

"Right."

"Definitely."

"Tian Shi palace is stationed above the Blood River world, and within it was such a level of absolute being! The space void too had undyings that trained hard within! This demon mountain base had large amounts of sector lords and undyings stationed too. Just from the majestic palace alone, one would know how many undyings were around!" Luo Feng thought and nodded. "It’s no secret, if it were just a training ground, why would they put so many undyings around?"

...

Luo Feng stood on the frozen ground and pondered, the more he thought, the more sure he was and he smiled excitedly.

"Luo Feng, 19.6km ahead of you there’s a 39m tall bear like creature, completely silver white beast, and It’s coming over." Babata’s voice resounded in Luo Feng’s mind.

"Hm?"

Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed and he scanned ahead. There, he saw a simple and honest silver white bear. It’s eyes were white too, and it almost looked like a huge ice statue slowly walking over. "Wild beast, one of the threats next to the demon notes."

Wild beasts were special life forms naturally formed in demon mountain.

They were formed in demon mountain’s extreme cold conditions. They had very little intelligence, and in terms of that, they probably couldn’t even compare to the cats and dogs of earth. They could be said to be….extremely stupid! However, because they were that way, they only knew one thing…if they discovered any other beast or life, they would immediately attack!

Any plan against their low intelligence was ineffective.

"From the natural energy it emits, its strength is at universe level 3." Babata’s voice resounded in his mind.

"Howl…" That white bear looked at Luo Feng and immediately let out a howl, rushing over.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

It’s speed was extremely fast, as it became a blur and reached right before Luo Feng.

"Such a cute beast." Luo Feng brandished his blood shadow blade and instantly flashed past the bear, simultaneously slicing its head.

Chi!

After its head was cut off, the solid ice chunks smashed against the stones on the walls. However the beast continued to attack, howling, "Howl…howl…" attacking Luo Feng.

"Chi! Chi!"

His blade flashed over and over. Luo Feng harmed it over and over, only after it was cut into 4 or 5 pieces did the countless ice chunks fall to the ground.

"What a peculiar life form. Its entire body is formed from the solid ice chunks. Even after I cut it up, it’s simple consciousness doesn’t dissipate." Luo Feng looked shocked and curiously at the countless ice chunks. He saw them slightly struggle, and two pieces swiftly began to fuse back together.

"So the information that said these beasts don’t die, it’s like that." Luo Feng shook his head, swiftly leaving. He didn’t have the patience to keep fighting against such a simple intellect beast that was akin to a cat or dog.

His luck was good this time, he met a weaker beast.

The strongest of the beasts were akin to a sector lord pinnacle, and they usually appeared in a group.

...

In this crystal like dark and deep stone pathway, a skinny black horned youth with black armor was present, and his eyes were burning with flames. He walked casually as though leisurely, simultaneously a formless world energy was spread throughout a 1,000km scanning.

"Hm?" His eyes gleamed.

Sou!

He immediately became a beam of light, with his sector lord level 6 strength he almost instantly followed the winding pathways and rushed 1,000km. There, a domain lord level 8 and a universe level 9 youth were carefully proceeding, chatting softly, "Grandpa, we just have to press on for another 2 days and it’ll be a month!"

"Hm, then we’ll be able to join the Virtual Universe company."

"Who’s there!"

The 2 of them immediately saw a flash flew over, their expressions changed and they fled.

Rumble!

The burning flame fiercely expanded over, engulfing the several km area. The domain lord level 8 old man and universe level 9 youth were instantly burnt to death.

"Hm?" The black horned skinny youth’s burning eyes scanned that universe level 9 youth’s body surroundings, "No cloud contact vine armor?" After which he waved his hand and acquired the space bracelet and ring, scanning them.

"No red tag!"

"Hmph!"

"This universe level 9 isn’t the target the god wants." The black horned youth shook his head. "I haven’t found the target even after acquiring over 1,000 black tags. I should continue!"

The black horned youth continued to search again, extending his world energy to over 1,000km in area.
