"A great opportunity is waiting for you below?"
Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Luo Feng was momentarily stunned. His gaze instinctively drifted toward the dark passage beneath Kirishima, his heart beating a little faster.
"What kind of opportunity?" he asked.
"There's an inheritance from an ancient civilization down there," Jiang Yan said with a faint smile, deliberately keeping things vague. "It belongs to a lineage of spiritual masters. And right now, your brain domain is the highest on Earth. In terms of compatibility, no one suits it better than you. Tell me—does that count as a great opportunity?"
Luo Feng's pupils shrank.
"An ancient civilization relic… beneath this foggy island?"
His breathing grew rapid. At that moment, everything made sense—the emperor-level monsters, the terrifying vine plant, and Kirishima's long-standing mystery.
"Brother Jiang…" Luo Feng hesitated, his voice tense. "These kinds of relics are usually extremely dangerous. Are you sure it's safe?"
He had read countless discussions on the Warrior Forum. Almost every ancient ruin was synonymous with death.
Jiang Yan waved his hand dismissively.
"Relax. I've already been inside. There's intelligent life controlling the place, and it's very friendly toward spiritual readers."
Only then did Luo Feng finally let out a breath of relief. His nervousness was quickly replaced by uncontrollable excitement.
He trusted Jiang Yan completely.
"Then let's not waste time," Jiang Yan said with a smile. "Let's go."
With that, he leapt into the passage first.
Luo Feng followed without hesitation.
Not long after, the two emerged into the interior of the Meteorite Star.
Before they could even speak, a scanning light swept over Luo Feng.
"Nineteen years old. Apprentice-level ninth stage physical fitness. Brain domain width: 21. The number of psychic threads in the sea of consciousness exceeds Jiang Yan's… This is within expectations."
Babata's cold, mechanical voice echoed through the hall.
"Hm. Barely qualified to become my master Hu Yanbo's direct disciple."
In the metal hall, Babata sat atop a morphing metal seat, resting its chin in its hand while nodding slightly.
"The hatch is entering stealth mode."
With a soft hum, the Meteorite Star vanished completely from perception. Even if someone followed the passage down ten thousand meters underground, special brain-wave interference would instinctively drive them away from this location.
Footsteps echoed.
Jiang Yan led a wide-eyed Luo Feng into the resplendent metal hall.
When Luo Feng saw Babata, his shock deepened.
"So this is… intelligent life?"
The technology of ancient civilizations was far beyond anything Earth possessed.
Jiang Yan looked at Babata and smiled.
"I've brought him."
Babata flapped the wings on its back and slowly circled Luo Feng.
"Correct. Luo Feng—nineteen years old, brain domain width twenty-one, spiritual reader. He meets the minimum standard to become my master's personal disciple."
Then Babata turned toward Jiang Yan.
"This is the cultivation technique you asked for—Thunder Forging God Method. It's sufficient to allow a spiritual master to break through to the planetary level."
A jade slip flew toward Jiang Yan.
With a snap of Babata's fingers, a new corridor unfolded beside them, leading straight to a cultivation chamber.
"There's a training room inside. Go study it first. I'll handle Luo Feng's apprenticeship. You're an outsider—best not be present."
"Understood."
Jiang Yan accepted the jade slip, his expression calm, though anticipation flickered in his eyes.
"I'll give you a reminder," Babata added coldly, a faint sneer on its face.
"What I gave you is only the introductory planetary chapter. The complete Thunder Forging God Method can be cultivated all the way to the immortal level. Its cultivation is extremely harsh—painful, dangerous, and capable of damaging the soul if you're careless. Whether you dare cultivate it is up to you."
"Huh? Immortal-level?"
Jiang Yan's heart surged with joy.
For anyone else, those words would sound like a warning.
For him, they were a gift.
His golden finger had only one real strength—completing techniques.
Just like the Ninefold Thunder Blade back then. He had only obtained the first three layers, yet the remaining forms had completed themselves naturally.
The golden finger couldn't create techniques out of nothing—but as long as the foundation existed, completion was inevitable.
"As long as I don't reach immortality, there's no real risk," Jiang Yan thought, thoroughly pleased.
Difficulty? Danger?
Those were meaningless in front of his golden finger.
"Thanks for the reminder," Jiang Yan said lightly. "I won't disturb you."
He turned toward Luo Feng and added with a smile,
"Just listen to it. It won't harm you."
Then he walked straight into the cultivation chamber.
Soon, only Babata and Luo Feng remained in the hall.
"Luo Feng," Babata said slowly, its eyes glowing faintly red.
"I've waited fifty thousand years for you."
"…What?"
Luo Feng was completely baffled.
Fifty thousand years?
What kind of joke was that?
What followed was straightforward.
Babata introduced itself, then launched into a long explanation of the Meteorite Star lineage—its glory, its fallen master, and the vast universe Luo Feng had never known.
The information hit Luo Feng like a tidal wave.
Then one sentence froze him in place.
"You're saying… Brother Jiang is currently stronger than Curator Hong?"
"That's right," Babata nodded.
"Jiang Yan—Planetary Level Eighth. Hong—Planetary Level Sixth. Lei Shen—Planetary Level Seventh."
"Because Jiang Yan and Hong both comprehend Domains, the true ranking is simple: Jiang Yan first, Hong second, Lei Shen third."
Babata snorted softly.
"Planetary-level Domain users are absurd monsters. If their spiritual master talent weren't mediocre—or nonexistent—I would've preferred them as heirs."
It paused briefly.
"According to my data, Jiang Yan is already your Extreme Martial Arts Gym's Global Chief Inspector. The announcement just hasn't been made yet."
Luo Feng stood there in a daze.
The man he once thought was merely an exceptionally strong senior… was already the strongest human on Earth?
Seeing Luo Feng's stunned expression, Babata sneered.
"Don't be shocked. No matter how strong they are now, without a true master or proper techniques, they'll soon fall behind you."
"The so-called Earth techniques like World Destroyer or Ninefold Thunder Blade?"
"In the universe, they're roadside trash. No one even bothers to look at them."
"Real entry-level techniques amplify the body by at least ten times—the 'tenfold force' you humans brag about."
Babata's voice was full of disdain.
"Earth is far too backward. But you're lucky. As the inheritor of the Meteorite Star lineage, you'll never lack techniques or cultivation resources again."
Luo Feng felt his worldview collapse.
The strongest techniques on Earth… were considered garbage?
Babata turned and gestured forward.
"Come, Luo Feng."
"It's time to meet your master."
