Babata looked at Luo Fan on the spaceship's screen, his eyes full of frustration.
He had been waiting for Luo Fan for several days.
This had caused him to waste over a hundred Mu Ya crystals.
Originally, he thought Luo Fan would not come.
So, Babata had already taken Luo Feng as disciple in Hu Yan Bo's stead.
His plan was to first accept Luo Feng as Hu Yan Bo's disciple.
Then, later, he would try to lure Luo Fan into joining the Ink Star lineage.
However, the Inheritance Soul Seal was only one.
Luo Fan would have to transform his own spiritual force in order to cultivate the exclusive secret techniques of the Ink Star lineage.
In Babata's eyes, with the resources Hu Yan Bo had left behind, whether it was Luo Feng or Luo Fan, at most they could be nurtured to the Domain Lord level.
Beyond that, it would depend on themselves.
For the Domain Lord level, a brain width of 22 or 26 made little difference.
Since Luo Fan had never shown up, he might as well cultivate Luo Feng.
By then, Luo Feng, as the younger brother, could even become the elder brother Luo Fan's senior disciple.
Thinking of this, the frustration Babata had felt over Luo Fan's absence instantly vanished, replaced by delight.
But just when he had already given the only Mo Yun Vine and the Inheritance Soul Seal to Luo Feng...
Luo Fan appeared.
At this moment, Babata was unbearably depressed.
Luo Feng also saw Luo Fan and Fang Xueyi on the screen.
A flash of joy instantly appeared on his face.
"Babata, that's my big brother!"
"Right, my big brother's talent is also very good. Can't you let him join the Ink Star lineage as well?"
Babata had not told Luo Feng about Luo Fan's situation.
After all, Luo Feng was already Hu Yan Bo's disciple now.
He could not just bluntly tell Luo Feng that he was only a backup.
Hearing Luo Feng's words, Babata's eyes shifted, and with a proud expression he said:
"We'll talk about it later. I'll first see what his aptitude is like in the future."
"If it's good, I can consider letting him enter the Ink Star lineage."
When Luo Feng heard this, joy stirred in his heart.
After putting the spaceship away, Babata entered Luo Feng's optical computer.
Luo Feng then began to fly upward along the same path as before.
Very soon, Luo Feng arrived above the lake.
He flew straight toward Luo Fan.
"Brother, where have you been these days?"
"I've been calling you but you never answered."
Hearing this, Luo Fan smiled and said:
"I went into seclusion. I heard you broke through?"
Upon hearing this, a faint smile also appeared on Luo Feng's face.
"Yes, brother, I finally caught up to you."
As Luo Feng chatted with Luo Fan, he also asked Babata in his mind:
"Babata, how many Mu Ya crystals do you still have?"
"I want to take some to help my brother cultivate."
Babata was just about to speak when he suddenly noticed Guang Yi and Guang Er behind Luo Fan.
"Luo Feng, use your optical computer to scan the two people behind your brother!"
Hearing this, Luo Feng froze for a moment, but still obeyed.
The next instant, the results on the optical computer shocked him.
"Star-level, ninth rank!"
Through Babata's explanations, Luo Feng had already learned about the realms above Warlord.
Babata had also told him that Hong and Thunder God were only at Planetary-level sixth rank and Planetary-level seventh rank.
Yet the two people behind his elder brother were both Star-level ninth-rank experts.
He knew he must not act recklessly now, no one on Earth could be their match.
"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, those two behind you are…?"
Luo Feng pulled Luo Fan and Fang Xueyi slightly closer to his side, asking cautiously.
Even if the two were Star-level ninth-rank experts...
According to Babata, as long as they hid inside the spaceship, those two would have no way to touch them.
Luo Fan noticed Luo Feng's small movement and revealed a meaningful smile.
"Them? You could say they're my bodyguards. They're with me, no need to worry."
"I'll explain after we return."
Hearing this, Luo Feng was momentarily stunned.
"Then, Big Brother, let's head back now."
"There aren't many Mu Ya crystals left in the lake. I obtained quite a lot this time, I'll share some with you when we return."
Luo Fan nodded at his words.
He hadn't come here for Mu Ya crystals anyway.
"Let's go, my warship is up there."
Saying this, he lifted Fang Xueyi into his arms and flew with Luo Feng toward the spaceship above.
Guang Yi and Guang Er silently followed behind the three.
Although Luo Fan had said they were his bodyguards...
Luo Feng remained extremely cautious along the way.
He was prepared at any moment to immediately summon his spaceship and hide inside with Luo Fan and Fang Xueyi.
Very soon, the three arrived at the spaceship's entrance.
Outside, the ship maintained optical invisibility.
At this moment, it looked like a floating passage in midair.
Luo Feng stared wide-eyed at the passage before him.
"Brother, are you sure this is a warship?"
"Come in, this is my cosmic spaceship."
Luo Fan entered first with Fang Xueyi.
Luo Feng had no choice but to follow.
Once inside, he discovered there were more than a dozen Guanghua clansmen.
Scanning with his optical computer, he immediately learned their cultivation levels.
There were actually twenty Star-level experts here!
At this moment, Luo Feng couldn't help but swallow hard.
His throat suddenly felt dry.
Babata also realized the strength of these people.
He hadn't expected that such individuals existed on Earth.
Previously, although he had activated the detectors of the Ink Star ship.
The detectors only had a range of twenty kilometers.
And the Ink Star ship was buried about fifteen thousand meters underground.
Meanwhile, Luo Fan's spaceship was hovering over ten thousand meters in the sky.
So Babata had not detected this ship or the people inside it.
"All right, no need to be so cautious."
"These are all my bodyguards."
"You don't need to worry."
Then, Luo Fan briefly told Luo Feng and Fang Xueyi about his journey into the universe this time.
When he mentioned the Treasure Pavilion, a small devil suddenly appeared in front of the three.
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"The dark universe coordinates near Earth were hidden by my master's secret technique."
"You could leave, but how could you possibly return to Earth?"
At this moment, Babata's face was full of confusion.
Originally, he hadn't intended to meet Luo Fan so soon.
But when Luo Fan said he had successfully returned from the universe, Babata could no longer hold back.
Luo Fan revealed a surprised expression.
"Who are you?"
"Who is your master?"
After reaching the Planetary-level, Luo Fan's control over his facial muscles and expressions had become excellent.
If it were before his transmigration, he would surely have won an Oscar!
"I am the great Lord Babata!"
"My master is a mighty expert acknowledged by the origin laws of space itself, a being close to Immortal Marquis!"
Babata spoke with an air of supreme pride.
"Your younger brother Luo Feng has already taken my master as his teacher."
"Hurry and tell me, how did you return to Earth?"
"Could it be that my master's secret technique has failed?"
Hearing Babata's words, Luo Feng also looked at his elder brother with curiosity.
After listening to Babata's descriptions of the universe before, Luo Feng's blood had already been stirred.
He could hardly wait to head into the universe himself.
But he never expected that his elder brother had already been there.
