The two separated a wisp of their consciousness to check it.
After reading the contents of the email, Luo Feng looked at True Yan Venerable with curiosity.
"Teacher, what is the Highest Council?"
Although Luo Feng's authority was now very high, he had only obtained these permissions not long ago and had not carefully studied them.
Moreover, something like the Highest Council only convened once in countless eras.
Hearing Luo Feng's words, True Yan Venerable could not help but be stunned for a moment.
Soon, he reacted.
Since Luo Feng had already obtained the qualification to build a palace halfway up the Central Mountain Range on Thunder Island, it was normal that he would also gain the authority to participate in the Highest Council.
True Yan Venerable had remained at the Invincible King level for countless eras.
Previously, he was already comparable to an ordinary Venerable.
However, his authority had never been raised.
Therefore, he still knew some things about the Highest Council.
"The human race has two kinds of Highest Councils."
"One is attended by all experts at the Venerable level and above."
"The other is attended only by the upper echelon of the human race, that is, existences at the Universe Master level."
"The one we are attending this time should be the first kind."
After explaining the Highest Council to Luo Feng, True Yan Venerable stood up and said,
"Let's go. Teleport to the Mountain of the Gods."
Hearing this, Luo Feng nodded.
The Temple of the Gods on the Mountain of the Gods was where the human race held the Highest Council.
When the Highest Council was held on the Mountain of the Gods, all Human Venerables and great existences would attend.
After the Virtual Universe sent emails to the Human Venerables, the Mountain of the Gods would open directly.
Normally, it remained closed.
…
Virtual Universe, within a mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist.
Figures of Human experts appeared one after another.
The auras emitted by these figures were extremely powerful.
If an existence below the Immortal level were here, they would feel suffocated.
Even some Immortals would feel terrifying pressure here.
After all, there were simply too many powerful beings present.
The several thousand Human Venerables were basically all here.
Upon reaching the Venerable level, splitting off a wisp of consciousness to enter the Virtual Universe would hardly affect the true body in reality.
Therefore, almost all Human Venerables had come to attend the Highest Council.
At this moment, Luo Feng and True Yan Venerable also arrived here one after the other.
This was the first time both of them had come here.
Even True Yan Venerable, although he had once been comparable to a Venerable, was not actually a Venerable before, so he had never attended the Highest Council.
The two looked around curiously at everything.
At this moment, quite a few people noticed Luo Feng and True Yan Venerable.
Some people who were familiar with True Yan Venerable stepped forward to greet him.
"True Yan, you came too."
"Long time no see, True Yan. Congratulations on finally breaking through to the Venerable level."
Many people knew True Yan Venerable.
After all, even before he broke through, when he was still King True Yan, his strength was already comparable to that of a Venerable.
Even among the Invincible Kings, King True Yan had been among the very top.
Therefore, even though everyone here was a Venerable, quite a few people were still acquainted with the newly advanced True Yan Venerable.
In fact, this was normal.
With King True Yan's previous strength, after breaking through to become True Yan Venerable, his strength was still considered powerful.
Usually, figures at the Invincible King level were far stronger than ordinary beginner Venerables once they broke through.
However, compared to True Yan Venerable, almost no one came forward to greet Luo Feng.
After all, not many people here knew him.
Even those who did know him felt displeased that Luo Feng, merely an Immortal, was standing on equal footing with them.
True Yan Venerable also understood this situation, so he did not take the initiative to introduce Luo Feng to the other Venerables.
Luo Feng did not yet possess battle achievements that matched his status.
If he introduced Luo Feng to others and they learned that Luo Feng was only an Immortal, it might instead produce the opposite effect.
Luo Feng did not mind.
With his current state of mind, he did not care about such things at all.
He simply stood there quietly observing everything around him.
After some time passed,
"Boom!"
Suddenly, heaven and earth roared.
Luo Feng and the surrounding Venerables looked up at the sky simultaneously.
They saw that within the clouds and mist of the previously empty sky, two enormous gates emitting dazzling golden light suddenly appeared.
These two gates slowly opened.
Many strange patterns and a brilliant starry sky were carved upon them.
The surrounding clouds also began to disperse.
A palace slowly emerged.
The location of this Highest Council was inside that palace floating above the Mountain of the Gods.
That palace was the Temple of the Gods.
"Human experts, assemble!"
A majestic voice resounded throughout heaven and earth.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
All the experts on the Mountain of the Gods instantly disappeared.
In a single moment, they were all teleported into the Temple of the Gods.
"Rumble!"
As everyone entered, the two golden gates slowly began to close.
…
Inside the Temple of the Gods stood an enormous round table carved with exquisite patterns.
At this moment, Luo Feng could only see part of the round table.
As for the other positions around it, they were obscured as if covered by clouds and mist, completely impossible to see clearly.
Countless thrones surrounded the round table.
There were so many that the end could not be seen at a glance.
At this moment, Luo Feng was seated on a throne two meters wide.
Behind Luo Feng's throne were the words "Blade River" written in the Human race's common language.
Other beginner Universe Venerables also sat on two-meter-wide thrones.
Intermediate Universe Venerables sat on thrones ten meters wide.
Advanced Universe Venerables sat on thrones fifty meters wide.
In the original story, the throne Luo Feng sat on belonged to intermediate Venerables and was ten meters wide.
However, because he had not yet achieved any major battle results and had not accepted many challenges within the Ancestral God Religion, his symbol in the Virtual Universe was still only that of a beginner Venerable.
Although the Chaos City Master had raised Luo Feng's authority to Venerable level, his designation remained beginner Venerable.
Within Luo Feng's field of vision, he could only see beginner, intermediate, and advanced Venerables.
As for Universe Overlords and Universe Masters, they were completely invisible to him.
The thrones around the round table were mainly divided into five levels.
They were two meters wide, ten meters wide, fifty meters wide, two hundred meters wide, and one thousand meters wide.
Each expert's divine body perfectly matched their throne.
Universe Overlords, including top Universe Overlords, sat on the two-hundred-meter-wide thrones.
At the highest position sat the Universe Masters of the human race.
Most of the thousand-meter-wide thrones were dazzling gold.
On these golden thrones sat towering figures.
At the very center were three black thrones emitting a solemn aura.
On one of these black thrones was carved a massive axe.
Sitting on it was the Giant Axe.
Another black throne bore the carving of a gigantic sphere, surrounded by a million figures.
The one sitting on that throne was Luo Fan.
This caused Luo Fan's throne to be black as well, the same as Giant Axe's.
One must know that although the other Universe Masters' thrones were the same size, they were all golden.
Between the two of them was an empty black throne.
Many Human experts might not know what this throne represented.
However, the upper echelon of the human race all knew that it belonged to the Original Ancestor.
As for Luo Fan's throne being the same as those of Giant Axe and the Original Ancestor, no one objected.
Everyone had long since accepted it.
Luo Fan had already proven that he possessed the qualification.
"This time, the opening of the Primal Stars should be very exciting."
"With Hun Yuan's incarnations present, how could it not be exciting?"
"Our human race is destined to become the protagonist of this Primal Star opening."
At this moment, these Human upper-level figures were chatting casually. As for making the Venerables below wait, it did not matter.
Besides discussing the Primal Stars, they also talked about some recent gains in the Universe Sea.
In reality, within such a short time, no one had obtained much.
At most, they had acquired some materials for supreme treasures.
The main topic was still the wormholes established by Luo Fan's incarnations.
Every once in a while, they would update the wormhole information on the human race's star map.
At this moment, the Chaos City Master suddenly thought of something and looked at Luo Fan.
"Should we begin granting the incarnation secret technique to Human Venerables?"
Although many Human geniuses had already been granted the secret technique before, aside from Luo Feng and the other two, along with some of Luo Fan's descendants, most of those geniuses were currently cultivating within Giant Axe's miniature universe.
The only ones who possessed the secret technique were the Universe Masters present.
Previously, secrecy had been maintained to prevent other races from learning about it.
However, this time the Human Universe Masters' incarnations would all go to the Primal Stars.
At that point, it would certainly become impossible to hide.
Although the other races did not know how the Human Universe Masters had obtained the incarnation secret technique, they would still realize that the human race possessed a method to acquire it.
Since that was the case, it was worth considering whether to grant the incarnation secret technique to Human Venerables as well.
With the incarnation secret technique, these Human Venerables would not only increase their strength, but their ability to preserve their lives would also greatly improve.
If they decided to do it, this Highest Council meeting would be the perfect opportunity to announce it.
At this moment, everyone's gaze turned toward Luo Fan.
This matter still required Luo Fan's approval.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Luo Fan said indifferently,
"As long as they pay a sufficient price, I have no problem granting the secret technique."
"So it doesn't matter to me."
As time passed, the size of his Primal Universe incarnation continued to grow larger.
The source energy of the Primal Universe incarnation would also increase.
This meant that Luo Fan's speed of absorbing chaotic airflow was constantly accelerating.
The consumption required to grant the secret technique depended on the target's cultivation level and strength.
However, as Luo Fan's Primal Universe incarnation became stronger and its source energy increased, its recovery speed also improved.
Previously, granting the secret technique to a Venerable might require an hour to recover.
Now it might only take fifty minutes.
So Luo Fan naturally did not mind.
His recovery speed was becoming faster, yet the price those Venerables had to pay remained the same as before.
For Luo Fan, it was obviously profitable.
These Human Venerables still possessed quite a few valuable items.
After all, when they obtained treasures they did not need, they would not immediately contribute them to the Human treasury.
If they contributed them to the treasury, the selling price was slightly lower than the purchase price.
Therefore they preferred to keep them first.
In the future, if they needed them, they would not have to buy them from the treasury.
Or they could directly trade with others.
For example, exchanging two items of equal value.
If both were contributed to the treasury, the contribution points obtained might not be enough for them to purchase what they needed.
But direct barter would work.
Unless someone urgently needed resources like certain kingdom lords, most people would keep their treasures for themselves first.
Seeing Luo Fan nod, the Chaos City Master pondered for a moment and looked at the others.
"What do you all think? Should we grant the incarnation secret technique to the Venerables now?"
Soon everyone expressed their opinions.
Most of them agreed.
The mortality rate of Human Venerables had recently been somewhat high.
If they continued to be targeted on the Primal Stars, quite a few might die.
With the incarnation secret technique, they would not keep dying like this.
Very quickly, everyone reached a decision.
After this Highest Council meeting, the authority for Human Venerables to apply for the incarnation secret technique would be opened.
Seeing that the discussion was almost finished, Giant Axe finally spoke.
"The other Venerables have been waiting for a while. Let's begin the meeting."
"The rest can be discussed later."
As he spoke, Giant Axe looked toward the Chaos City Master.
"Chaos, you should host this meeting again."
"Alright."
Chaos City Master nodded.
…
"Everyone!"
While the Venerables below were conversing with each other, a gentle yet majestic voice resounded throughout the Temple of the Gods.
All the Venerables instantly fell silent.
The entire Temple of the Gods became completely quiet.
Luo Feng, who had been speaking with nearby Venerables, also stopped.
The thrones in the Temple of the Gods had five ranks.
Each throne could only communicate with thrones of the same level or lower.
Previously, many people might not have recognized Luo Feng.
However, behind his throne were the two words "Blade River," his previous title.
Quite a few people knew the title King Blade River.
So the beginner Venerables around him assumed that Luo Feng had already broken through to the Venerable level and came over to chat with him for a while.
But after hearing Chaos City Master's voice, everyone stopped.
Luo Feng immediately recognized that the voice belonged to his teacher, Chaos City Master.
Chaos City Master continued speaking.
"This Highest Council meeting concerns two matters."
"The first matter is that the Primal Stars are about to open."
"The Primal Stars are about to open?"
The Venerables below revealed shocked expressions upon hearing this.
In an unknown corner, a certain advanced Venerable subconsciously trembled when he heard the words "Primal Stars."
"The Primal Stars are the core region of the Primal Universe, a battlefield contested by countless races."
"This opening will be the same as previous ones."
"Want to obtain heavy treasures or supreme treasures?"
"Want to contribute to your race?"
"Your opportunity has arrived."
"The detailed information has been sent to you."
As soon as Chaos City Master finished speaking, a screen appeared in front of every expert.
The screen contained a vast amount of information.
All of it was related to the Primal Stars.
