Morosa said as he flew, “We just went to a relatively cheap snack bar. Next, we’re going to one of the top entertainment venues in the entire Huyang City.”

“One of the best entertainment venues in Huyang City? Where?” Luo Feng asked curiously.

“Dreamflower Pavilion,” Morosa said, feigning mystery.

“Practitioners from myriad races usually conceal their true forms to appear similar, but in reality, they belong to different ethnic groups,” Luo Feng said. “Some don’t even have a gender, and their preferences vary wildly. How can this Dreamflower Pavilion attract practitioners from all races?”

Morosa replied, “You’ll see in a moment, Master.”

As they chatted and laughed, a majestic complex of buildings appeared before them. These buildings occupied a vast area and were covered by a formation. They could faintly see numerous attendants flying everywhere, and the sounds of laughter, musical instruments, and roars faintly carried over.

“That’s Dreamflower Pavilion ahead,” Morosa exclaimed with emotion. “Everything about it is good, except it’s expensive!”

A figure in green robes flew over to greet them, speaking very humbly: “It is an honor for our Dreamflower Pavilion to have your esteemed presence here.”

In Huyang City, Eternal True Gods are the most powerful beings; they are the ‘heavens’ of Huyang City! They each have their own affairs, and Dreamflower Pavilion only occasionally has the honor of hosting an Eternal True God.

“This is my first time here, you handle the arrangements,” Luo Feng instructed.

“Yes,” the green-robed attendant replied, a hint of allure in their smile. “I will arrange the most prestigious Orchid Star Hall for your esteemed presence.”

With that, they flew ahead, leading the way, and Luo Feng and Morosa followed.

The entire formation of Dreamflower Pavilion was like a vast labyrinthine world. Morosa watched in amazement: “I’ve been here many times, but I’ve never ventured this deep into Dreamflower Pavilion. It seems this is truly a place reserved for distinguished guests.”

Luo Feng suddenly frowned slightly, looking into the distance. As a perfect divine body, his perception range was wide and sensitive. At this moment, he sensed something he detested happening in a hall ahead.

The hall was very spacious, filled with distinguished guests from various races. This group of guests was eating, drinking, and chatting, watching a life-and-death struggle unfolding in the center of the hall.

Two True Gods were trying everything they could to kill their opponent!

The center of the hall was bloody, with over ten True God corpses already present, all having reverted to their original forms after death.

“Kill him, kill him, kill him for me! If you lose, your whole family will be buried with you!” roared a green-robed guest.

“Congqu Mountain, in this Ten Absolutes Battle, you’ve only got one servant left out of the ten you sent. And I still have three servants who haven’t even entered the arena yet,” another eight-armed guest said with a leisurely smile. “It seems this time the stakes will be mine.”

“Hmph, it’s not over yet. My guard is exceptionally talented and can certainly kill all your remaining servants,” the green-robed guest retorted angrily.

“Is that so?” The eight-armed guest raised their wine cup.

The other distinguished guests were also extremely excited.

“Congqu Mountain, I bet on your side to win, but your servant isn’t doing well; there’s only one left!”

“My servant will definitely win, he will definitely win!” The green-robed guest’s face was somewhat distorted, while the two True Gods fighting in the center of the hall grew increasingly frantic in their eyes. They had no way out.

Each side sent out ten servants, and the battle would only end when one side’s servants were all dead.

How could they be willing to participate in such a cruel gamble?

But they had no choice!

“I left my tribe and came to Huyang City only to seek opportunities. I received a legacy and became stronger. But today, I’m going to die here. I wonder how my sister is doing in the tribe now?” A bald True God was clearly at a disadvantage and looked like they couldn’t hold on much longer.

“Finish him!” the green-robed guest roared fiercely. “Kill the remaining three, and I’ll reward you handsomely!”

“Ridiculous,” the eight-armed guest said, full of confidence.

At this moment, Luo Feng, Morosa, and the attendant flew by in the distance. Luo Feng cast a glance at the scene.

Huyang City regulations prohibited killing.

However, considering that True Gods pursue greater strength and some crave battle, Huyang City would not intervene as long as both parties signed a life-and-death contract and voluntarily engaged in combat.

But Luo Feng understood at a glance that the True Gods fighting in the center of the hall were clearly “volunteered” into the battle.

“Buzz—”

Luo Feng merely glanced.

An invisible aura swept over all living beings in the grand hall. The distinguished guests, who had been reveling and gambling, suddenly felt an incredibly terrifying presence staring at them.

The two True Gods, originally engaged in a life-and-death struggle, had their thoughts halt and minds go blank under this terrifying aura.

These extraordinary guests were almost all Void True Gods, yet they remained utterly silent, not daring to utter a sound.

“Esteemed one,” the green-robed attendant, who was flying, exclaimed in surprise and immediately stopped.

“My mood was quite good today,” Luo Feng said calmly, a hint of murderous intent in his brows. “Who would have thought I’d see such a thing? It truly stains my eyes and spoils my mood.”

The green-robed attendant trembled with fear and quickly said, “It’s our Dreamflower Pavilion’s oversight. Such life-and-death gambling matches are not permitted here. It’s our fault for spoiling your mood, esteemed one. All your expenses tonight will be covered by Dreamflower Pavilion.”

“Let’s go to Orchid Star Hall,” Luo Feng said.

“Yes,” the green-robed attendant continued to lead the way.

Morosa, however, glanced at the hall in the distance and let out a strange chuckle: “A bunch of little brats.” Then he followed Luo Feng to Orchid Star Hall.

Inside the hall where the life-and-death gamble took place:

“Everyone, please leave quickly,” the attendant responsible for serving urged. “That unfamiliar Eternal True God clearly dislikes these life-and-death gambling matches.”

“Quickly, quickly!” the green-robed guest, Congqu Mountain, immediately said. “Everyone, let’s go!”

“Consider yourself lucky,” the eight-armed guest dared not linger. He ran the fastest, quickly disappearing outside the hall surrounded by three guards, and all the other distinguished guests also quickly fled.

The two True Gods who had been fighting looked at each other.

“We actually escaped this ordeal,” they both said. They collected their companions’ bodies and then quickly departed.

Deep within Dreamflower Pavilion, in the most central hall, ‘Orchid Star Hall’.

“Even though Dreamflower Pavilion is one of the top entertainment venues in Huyang City, Eternal True Gods only visit occasionally,” Morosa said, sitting beside him. “The usual guests are mainly Void True Gods, and they play very wildly. The attendants don’t dare to stop the children of those great clans.”

The green-robed attendant stood by, pouring wine and serving.

“There’s too much impurity in the world, how can I manage it all?” Luo Feng said leisurely. “The wisp of aura I released was merely a warning to them.”

“What if they ignored your warning, Master, and remained there?” Morosa asked.

“Then they would be disrespecting me and slapping my face! In that case, they would have no one to blame but themselves for their deaths,” Luo Feng said.

Upon hearing this, Morosa quickly said, “Master is truly kind-hearted, still giving them a chance to live.”

The green-robed attendant serving them secretly trembled in their heart.

Many of the distinguished guests in that hall earlier came from several top clans in Huyang City. Would this unfamiliar Eternal True God really kill them just like that? Or was he merely speaking casually?

“Hmm?” Luo Feng saw a woman in black walk in from outside the hall. After entering, she bowed slightly.

“Esteemed one,” the green-robed attendant helped introduce. “This is ‘Musician Suya,’ the direct disciple of our Pavilion Master.”

Morosa also added from the side, “Eternal True Gods skilled in illusion techniques are few and far between in the entire Huyang City. And among those willing to use illusion techniques to entertain guests, there’s only the Dreamflower Pavilion Master.”

Luo Feng nodded.

He himself also cultivated the “Nine Nightmares World,” and was considered to have just entered the Eternal True God level. Illusion techniques, if not used for combat but for entertaining the masses, indeed had remarkably good effects.

“Begin,” Luo Feng said, quite curious about what kind of illusion technique Dreamflower Pavilion used to attract practitioners from myriad races.

The woman in black sat there alone. With a wave of her hand, various musical instruments appeared before her.

As divine power was infused into the various instruments, a medley of sounds immediately arose. Many of these instrument sounds possessed the ability to affect the mind, and their combination instantly drew Luo Feng into past memories.

His emotions began to burn intensely.

Luo Feng seemed to see the scene from Earth’s past, where countless people bravely stepped forward, one after another, to confront the Golden-Horned Beast.

“Using instruments as a guide, illusion techniques as a foundation, to influence emotions…”

“Stirring! Exhilarating! Burning!”

“For those of us who have cultivated for countless years, our minds become increasingly tranquil, like a vast land with hardly any fluctuations! It’s too difficult to make my emotions fluctuate intensely,” Luo Feng thought. He offered no resistance, actively allowing himself to be influenced by the musical illusion.

But his mental willpower was too strong; a Chaos-level peak will simply could not be swayed by such an illusion technique.

It merely made Luo Feng recall some memories from Earth.

That passionate, burning era!

“Right,” Luo Feng thought. “Among the secret arts of ‘Array Yuan Technique’, there are various methods for cultivating mental willpower, including one called ‘Seven Emotions Refining Heart Method’.” As various fervent memories from his past surged, he also remembered the ‘Seven Emotions Refining Heart Method’.

“The ‘Seven Emotions Refining Heart Method’ actively amplifies one’s mental perception! It makes one easily moved, joyful, furious, sorrowful… Afterwards, these emotions serve as nourishment to refine mental willpower.”

As the thought arose, Luo Feng began to perform the “Seven Emotions Refining Heart Method.” As the technique began to operate, Luo Feng’s mental perception rapidly magnified.

The musical illusion, which had previously only caused a slight resonance and recall of past memories for Luo Feng, instantly became intensely more powerful, by many, many times.

“Boom!!!”

Luo Feng momentarily returned to the past.

“Sit down, close your eyes, and remember, do not resist,” Luo Feng said in a low voice.

“Understood.” Mohan Darsen, Easter, Tripathi Singh, Jia Yi, and Sokolov were sitting in their corresponding positions according to the “Six Star” secret technique. They looked at each other, strange smiles appearing on their faces.

It was precisely the scene where the six of them sacrificed themselves to confront the Golden-Horned Beast.

A fervent thought burned in Luo Feng’s heart, transcending life and death, with only the singular desire to kill the Golden-Horned Beast.

Aided by the “Seven Emotions Refining Heart Method,” this fervent emotion was so intense that Luo Feng’s eyes welled up with tears.

The musical illusion was meant to serve guests, so it evoked only beneficial emotions.

Burning passion, love, undying vows, brotherhood through life and death…

After a long while, the black-robed female musician stopped. She was somewhat surprised by the expression of this unfamiliar Eternal True God, as Eternal True Gods generally did not become too immersed in their illusion techniques.

Luo Feng’s eyes were faintly moist with tears as he slowly opened them.

“Good, good,” Luo Feng said softly. “Very good.”
