Eastern Emperor Ancestor read the enormous amount of information he had with his eyes closed.
North True Star Master was anxious. He knew how much the ancestor valued that deal, and it would be a problem if something went wrong. "Ancestor rarely shows up, yet he showed up quite a few times for the inheritance of Duan Dong River, and he said a couple of times that he's willing to trade everything. I hope the memory stone will satisfy the ancestor!"
After a while, Eastern Emperor Ancestor was skimming through the information much faster than Luo Feng. He ignored all the experience at the bottom and started from the levels higher than universe supreme masters.
It was completely silent in the palace.
"Humph!" Eastern Emperor Ancestor opened his eyes, and his eyes glinted fiercely.
"Ancestor?" said North True Star Master.
"Damn it! That goddamn human Milky Way!" Eastern Emperor Ancestor clenched his teeth.
"Ancestor, what about this memory stone?" North True Star Master grew anxious.
"This memory stone does contain the information superior to universe supreme masters." The ancestor sneered. "And there's a lot. However, the training experience in this memory stone is less sophisticated than mine! It's just a unique way of training! It hasn't even reached my level! It's useless!" The Ancestor's voice shook the space around him.
North True Star Master said furiously, "Ancestor, that human Milky Way dares to trick us! We'll make him regret it!"
"How?" The ancestor looked at North True Star Master. "Are you going to the original universe?"
North True Star Master couldn't respond to that. None of the great beings from other universe eras—including the two holy lands—dared to trespass in the original universe, as they would die if they did.
"Then, we'll just let him have the two supreme true treasures?" asked North True Star Master.
Eastern Emperor Ancestor was thinking in silence. Perhaps North True Star Master felt distressed for the two supreme true treasures; they were nothing to the ancestor. What the ancestor did care about was that he'd been looking forward to the memory stones that contained more sophisticated training experience for so long, yet the training level in the memory stone couldn't even match his level.
His hope was gone! He couldn't just let it go! Could he simply be blunt about it with Luo Feng?
He understood that Luo Feng couldn't read the training experience superior to the universe-supreme-master level, which meant Luo Feng did want to give a memory stone recording sophisticated training experience,. Yet he wasn't sure how sophisticated the training experience was.
"Perhaps it's just bad luck? Perhaps Luo Feng has memory stones that have more sophisticated training experience." Eastern Emperor Ancestor still had hope.
A token showed up on his palm. It was a communication token.
The Ancestor transmitted the message. "Luo Feng!"

Inside the city leader's palace, Luo Feng sat in a quiet palace, drinking. At one end of the palace were railings, and the entire Primal Chaos City was in sight when someone leaned against the railings.
He looked relaxed, yet actually, 99 percent of his mind was in the space of inheritance in the Boat of Mausoleum. An avatar of godly power was comprehending the path of beast god. The avatar of godly power in the ninth abyss had already crumbled, as the so-called top techniques in the ninth abyss could be found in the inheritance of Duan Dong River, and he could find more detailed and comprehensive engravings.
The best way to improve his power was to become a universe master as soon as possible. However, even if he hit the threshold and had cultivated enough, it might take him a long time to make the breakthrough—perhaps dozens of eras. If he was lucky, he could succeed in one shot, but Luo Feng hadn't reached the threshold yet.
The time in the space of inheritance was 10,000 times faster than the time outside! Luo Feng thought. One year equals one era outside! No matter how long it takes, I'll become a universe master within decades.
"Huh?" Luo Feng frowned. "The token given by North True Star Master? Why is he contacting me now? Is it something about the memory stone?"
All the three memory stones prepared for the deal had training experience superior to universe supreme masters. However, they weren't qualified to be included in the core inheritance, so it meant it was not sophisticated. At least it was weaker than Duan Dong River. Training experience at Duan Dong River's level was included in the core inheritance.
He waved his hands, and a token showed up.
A message was sent. "Luo Feng."
"North True," Luo Feng responded.
"I'm Eastern Emperor," the messaged continued.
Luo Feng was stunned. Eastern Emperor? That was the most ancient being in Universe Ocean! And judging from the size of the miniature universe, he must have been the most powerful being in Universe Ocean as well.
"I can't believe Eastern Emperor Ancestor contacted me directly and called my name. It's my honor," said Luo Feng.
The great beings from other universe eras often called him "human Milky Way." Only a few of them called him "Luo Feng."
"How are the two supreme true treasures?" asked Eastern Emperor Ancestor.
"Fantastic," answered Luo Feng. "The only thing is, one of them is an attack type true treasure. It'll be better if it's a palace type or a domain type true treasure."
"I've met your requirements; however, you didn't meet mine," Eastern Emperor Ancestor replied via a message. "Although the memory stone you gave me does have training experience superior to the universe supreme master level, there's too little of it, so it's useless to me."
Luo Feng said, "Sorry. I can't read the material superior to universe supreme masters, so I have no idea how sophisticated it should be. I can't argue with anything you said."
"Are you saying I lied?" Eastern Emperor Ancestor sounded furious.
"No," said Luo Feng. "I'm just saying that the experience in the memory stone does surpass the level of universe supreme masters."
"I guarantee you, by my reputation, that the training experience in the memory stone is lower than my level," said Eastern Emperor Ancestor. "It's completely useless to me. I require you to give me another memory stone, and I won't pledge it with any supreme true treasures."
Luo Feng was shocked. Why did the ancestor talk about his reputation? He understood now that Eastern Emperor Ancestor didn't want to trade his supreme true treasures for memory stones anymore.
"I can't do that," said Luo Feng. "Firstly, I don't know whether you're telling the truth or not. I can't just give you the second memory stone without getting anything in return! Besides, we had a pact before. The first memory stone requires two supreme true treasures, and the second one requires four supreme true treasures."
"Your first stone is useless to me!" said Eastern Emperor Ancestor. "Why would I lie to you?"
Eastern Emperor Ancestor was infuriated. If it weren't for the superior training experience, he wouldn't have wasted so much time talking to Luo Feng. He was very aloof, and Luo Feng wasn't even worth his time. The only thing he valued was the inheritance of Duan Dong River.
"I don't care whether you lied or not," said Luo Feng. "If you want the second memory stone, give me four supreme true treasures."
"Humph!" Eastern Emperor Ancestor was furious and cut off the communications.
Luo Feng glanced at the token, smiled, and put it away.
"Eastern Emperor?" Luo Feng sneered. "An old guy who can never step out of the holy land? Your reputation means nothing to me! Do you really think you can get the second memory stone without paying anything?"
Just wait and see, Luo Feng thought.
He could tell that the ancestor wanted more advanced experience. As long as he really wanted it, he would say yes.
Let's just see who's more patient, Luo Feng thought.

At a membrane of the original universe.
Hong!
A towering being rushed out of the membrane, and a hole appeared. The towering being had two horns on his head with bloody hair. There were green scales on his body and black scales on his chest. He had six eyes, and another pair of tiny ears were hidden under his larger, pointy ears. He was carrying a strange weapon.
Bar Lion Master looked around and whispered, "It's better to rush out from my god country out of the original universe. That giant black hole is too far. Okay, I'll head to Tilted Peak Sector now."
Shua!
He teleported himself.
After only half an hour, Bar Lion Master stopped among the chaos airflow. He saw the towering miniature universe.
"This is the miniature universe of Huge Axe," Bark Lion Master whispered. "I saw it every time when I went to Tilted Peak Sector. Why does it look different this time?"
He was far from the miniature universe, and it just started to crumble. The surface was still intact, and the space cracks were small, but the inner space had completely crumbled.
However, it felt different this time. The miniature universe had been forceful and vivid in the past. This time, however, it looked dead. Bar Lion Master sensed that something was wrong.
"Huh?" Bar Lion Master teleported himself to beside the small universe. "Ah!"
Bar Lion Master was shocked. He saw the cracks in the miniature universe, and the chaos airflow kept penetrating it. He could even see some destroyed lands.
"Huge Axe? Dead?" Bar Lion Master was bewildered.
