Chapter 237 Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, Plot Correction
"That black metal plate has a hardness of at least F-grade metal, yet no information about it can be found within the Virtual Universe Company. It's not any known F-grade metal!"
Luo Feng was slightly surprised by Xu Xin's words.
Do such things still exist on Earth?
It has at least F-grade metal hardness, but it's not any known F-grade metal. Could it be an F-grade alloy?
The mechanical race is immortal; their bodies are made of F-grade alloy.
"Wait a minute! A black metal plate?"
Luo Feng immediately thought of the "promise" he had made with Ye Yang.
As one of the conditions for him to possess the Golden Horned Beast:
"Third, if you ever find a black metal plate, of unknown material and indestructible, on Earth or in space, and encounter significant resistance when trying to penetrate it with your telekinesis, you must immediately stop!"
"Because if I use my telekinesis to penetrate it, I might be pulled into a series of illusions. Once I break through the illusions, this black metal plate will be useless to me."
Remembering what Ye Yang had said, Luo Feng quickly asked Xu Xin, "Where is that metal plate?"
"In the family's No. 1 treasure vault."
"So that's Earth?" Luo Feng immediately jumped up. "Take me there quickly!"
In the Luo family's No. 1 treasure vault, Xu Xin opened a hidden compartment and took out a pure black metal plate.
Luo Feng took it and first weighed it in his hand. The palm-sized metal plate wasn't heavy, about the weight of a pencil.
Luo Feng had the intelligent life form Xiao Jiu use his privileges to search for qualifications, but found nothing. He also searched through the Golden Horned Beast's inherited memories, but still found nothing relevant.
It's truly an enigmatic item.
Upon closer inspection, its surface still has patterns, and there are traces of cracks along the edges.
"Are you sure its strength is comparable to F-grade metal?" Luo Feng asked.
Xu Xin nodded: "After many experiments, despite its seemingly damaged appearance, we have tried every means possible but have been unable to peel off any fragments. The fragments that look like they are about to fall off are simply immovable."
Luo Feng nodded, immediately picked up the metal plate, and tried his best with both hands, but still couldn't deform the metal plate even slightly!
He was already a ninth-level Domain Lord, and destroying the surface of a planet was something he could do with ease. But in front of this black metal plate, it was like a gentle breeze, unable to budge it in the slightest.
"It truly is indestructible. What about its psychic power?"
Luo Feng tried to probe the metal plate with his mental energy, but he could see that the metal plate was nothing and entered it smoothly. Metal usually has an obstructive effect on mental energy, but this metal plate had no such effect at all!
I sensed a slight obstruction from within.
"There's something inside!" He used his mental power to transform into even finer threads, which seeped into the contents.
As one mental obstacle after another was easily breached, Luo Feng soon encountered an obstacle that he could not overcome no matter what.
He couldn't help but feel a surge of competitiveness, but then he remembered his promise to his older brother and forcibly suppressed this intense urge to break through the barrier.
"Why do I feel like I'm overly concerned about this metal plate?" Luo Feng frowned, examining himself. His mind was like a mirror, pointing straight to his true self, so he could naturally perceive his own abnormality.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xin asked.
"No." Luo Feng shook his head, it seemed that it was just a whim of his.
"This metal plate is exactly what you're looking for, brother. You've helped me a lot along the way," Luo Feng said.
Xu Xin smiled and said, "I understand. I only kept this item out of curiosity. It would be better if you delivered it to your older brother yourself." The next morning, Luo Feng took this "gift" and went to North America on the other side of the world to visit Ye Yang's clone.
"Brother, I heard from Xu Xin and Xiao Hai that your kids are all exceptionally talented," Luo Feng said to Ye Yang with a slightly envious expression.
Over the decades, Ye Yang's 30 children have all grown up and, through his illusionary trials, ventured into the universe.
Among them, the three brothers Ye Siyuan, Ye Sicheng, and Ye Sizheng actually ended up associating with Luo Hai, who was also adventuring in the universe.
Because of Ye Yang's orders, the three brothers have been suppressing their levels and have remained at the ninth level of the Hengxing star.
So Luo Hai, the "eldest brother," led his three brothers on adventures everywhere.
Ye Yang laughed and said, "It's mainly because of my high genetic foundation. I had some fortuitous encounters back then. Theoretically speaking, I am already a new bloodline that has been transformed from the bloodline of Earthlings, and it is the most powerful bloodline among the countless races of the current human population."
"Master Chaos City Lord did not want to see this bloodline disappear when I break through to the Realm Lord level in the future, so he bestowed a treasure upon me, and that's how these children came to be."
After briefly explaining the situation, Ye Yang added, "Actually, regarding their future marriages, I don't plan for them to marry alien races, but rather pure-blooded Earthlings."
"Huh? Why?" Luo Feng was taken aback. Shouldn't they combine with those powerful alien bloodlines to create a powerful alliance and enhance the aptitude of their offspring?
"Because my lineage is already the strongest human bloodline, any mating with it would cause dilution and downgrading. I would rather they mate with pure-blooded Earthlings, at least the foundation of this bloodline is Earth humans, evolved from Earth humans, which can guarantee a certain degree of purity."
Ye Yang was helpless. He didn't want to be bound by bloodline, but to be honest, that's just how reality is.
"I don't care who they fall in love with while they're out there, or how many alien spouses they have, but everyone should have at least one Earthling spouse—forget it, this is a headache, I'd better not talk about it." Ye Yang waved his hand.
"Haha, every family has its own problems."
Luo Feng sat down cross-legged and said with a smile, "Brother, I brought a gift with me this time. Want to guess what it is?"
Ye Yang was taken aback, but with a slight thought, he already guessed what it was.
Although he was burning with passion, he forced himself to remain calm and composed, maintaining the demeanor of an elder brother.
"That's so kind of you, you even brought a gift?" he asked with a smile. "Is it that black metal plate?"
Luo Fengran: "You guessed it right away?"
"Really?"
Ye Yang raised an eyebrow, while Luo Feng had already taken out the pure black metal plate.
"This is the Heavenly Soul Crystal that records the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Manual'?!" Ye Yang examined it, secretly shocked.
His Earth Martial Arts Association and Polaris Corporation have been in charge of Earth terraforming projects for over 200 years, yet they still can't find this thing.
But as soon as Luo Feng returned to Earth, it appeared in his hands. It has to be said, this plot correction is truly atrocious.
"My university professor taught me that the only way to overcome the power of plot-driven cultivation is to 'break it with force,' and this 'force' doesn't refer to physical strength, but rather to the 'influence' exerted in the right direction."
"I started exerting influence a long time ago in order to obtain the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Manual'. The Earth Martial Arts Association and Polaris Corporation are in charge of the Earth terraforming project, which involves the large-scale recovery of extraterrestrial relics and items. If executed well, there is still a very small chance of finding them directly."
"If I had the technology to detect the Heavenly Soul Crystal and the powerful detection capabilities, I could scan the entire Earth and find it directly, then destroy it by force."
"But I don't have that ability. By influencing Luo Feng, the 'protagonist of the story,' the Nine Tribulations Manual ultimately ended up in my hands."
Feeling the light weight of this Heavenly Soul Crystal, Ye Yang couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"From helping Luo Feng possess the Golden Horned Beast, to sharing the inheritance of Meteorite Star, Metal No. 001, material assistance, secret techniques, and the blood of the Beast God, I have continuously exerted my influence."
"Given Luo Feng's character, in order to uphold his principles, he will do his utmost to fulfill the promises he makes."
"With all these combined influences, even the world, fate, or some other mechanism cannot bring the plot back on track."
Luo Feng chatted with Ye Yang for a while about other things, including the Zerg hive, without asking what the black metal plate was for.
Then he took his leave.
"Brother, I will be staying on Earth for a period of time, ranging from a few decades to a hundred years. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."
Watching Luo Feng gradually disappear into the distance, Ye Yang silently closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking deep into the distance.
"really!"
When he received the detailed information from the Gate of All Heavens, his expression darkened.
Just now, the Gate of All Heavens harvested 10826 Fate Points from the Devouring World (10 times the return for a candidate to take control)!
Obtaining the Heavenly Soul Crystal, just like taking away the Meteorite Star's inheritance, has caused a huge disruption to the subsequent plot of the entire dungeon world!
If Ye Yang hadn't taken Luo Feng into the Meteorite Star lineage in time last time, taught him secret techniques, and helped him possess the Golden Horned Beast, there would probably have been one trouble after another.
In order to get the "plot" back on track, the whole world will not let it go.
"Devouring the world is my foundation; I must manage it well and not ruin it."
Ye Yang silently used the extraction and delivery function to transfer the Heavenly Soul Crystal to his first clone in the Purgatory Abyss through the main world.
"The Secret Book of Nine Tribulations!"
Ye Yang suppressed his excitement and slowly probed the Heavenly Soul Crystal with his mental power.
The hundreds of strands of psychic energy, both tough and fine, encountered layers of obstacles inside the black metal plate, yet easily broke through them.
Finally, Ye Yang's psychic power encountered an exceptionally strong barrier that he could not penetrate under normal circumstances.
His entire aura instantly changed, and his innate secret technique 'Resonance in Space and Time' was activated! The first Golden Horn clone's innate secret technique 'Enhancement' was activated!
3600 times the amplitude of mental power, 2 times the amplitude of consciousness!
This time, breaking through that barrier will be a breeze!
Subsequent obstacles were also overcome one after another.
Rumble~
"My child!" A majestic yet calm voice resounded in Ye Yang's mind, and countless illusions were born one after another.
Once Ye Yang breaks through one illusion, countless more illusions will be created, seemingly without end, inspiring despair.
However, Ye Yang's will remained unmoved, easily causing one illusion after another to collapse and dissipate. Soon, tens of thousands of illusions collapsed, and all the interconnected illusions automatically disintegrated.
One text message after another appeared and entered Ye Yang's mind.
These are all the characters of the Yan God Clan, which Ye Yang had already learned beforehand, so he could understand them instantly:
『Nine Tribulations XX』
"Flesh-and-blood life primarily consists of the body and soul, both of equal importance. This text mainly studies the active evolution of the body's genes. Cultivation is dangerous; there are nine tribulations. Failure in each tribulation will result in the collapse of the soul and body, leading to instant death."
