Chapter Eighteen

“Master?” Morosa also felt that Luo Feng was too heavily affected, considering it was merely an illusion cast by a Void True God.

Luo Feng glanced at the woman in black and nodded, “You may leave now.”

“Suya bids farewell.” The musician Suya, dressed in black, respectfully withdrew.

Luo Feng paid no mind to Morosa or the green-clad attendant serving nearby; he simply drank his wine alone.

Inside the vast hall, Morosa and the green-clad attendant dared not utter a sound for a while.

Luo Feng silently drank his wine, his gaze profound.

His will was currently undergoing the tempering of the “Seven Emotions Soul Refining Technique.”

Like steel being forged through a hundred refinements, it requires repeated hammering. A living being needs to experience setbacks repeatedly to gradually grow.

It was the same for one’s will.

It needed to undergo trials repeatedly! The stronger the tempering, the more powerful the will would become, provided it didn’t collapse!

The “Seven Emotions Soul Refining Technique” was quite unique; it used various emotions to temper one’s will. As the secret technique operated, intense emotions surged through his mind repeatedly, constantly impacting his will.

“I’ve cultivated for too long, and my emotions have become deeper and more internalized. Who would have thought that in this Dream Flower Tower, I would return to a time when my emotions were most intense?” Luo Feng’s eyes held a look of reminiscence.

“Among the ‘Primordial Arts,’ there are various secret techniques for cultivating will. I had long chosen the ‘Great Annihilation Soul Refining Technique’ to temper my will. During the eon-plus time I spent in seclusion, I had already practiced it multiple times. The upper limit of this secret technique is high enough, whereas the ‘Seven Emotions Soul Refining Technique’ ultimately has its limits. After all, I can’t constantly be under emotional impact; that would drive me mad,” Luo Feng thought.

The “Great Annihilation Soul Refining Technique” used the concept of the great annihilation of all things to grind away the will!

What Luo Feng needed to do was to resist with his will!

Because Morosa inherently controlled the ‘Source of Annihilation,’ Luo Feng could directly observe it and attempt to condense the profound concept of great annihilation, making this secret technique highly efficient.

The Source of Annihilation was an equivalent existence to the ‘Source of Life’ in the Primal Universe! By enslaving a World Beast, one could directly observe the ‘Source of Annihilation,’ so Luo Feng naturally prioritized the “Great Annihilation Soul Refining Technique.”

“However, those memories were indeed beautiful,” Luo Feng gradually calmed his emotions.

“Is this musician Suya the strongest at influencing emotions with illusions in your Dream Flower Tower?” Luo Feng suddenly asked.

The green-clad attendant nearby quickly replied upon hearing the question, “Naturally, the strongest illusionist in our Dream Flower Tower is the Tower Master. However, the Tower Master only occasionally holds the Hundred Flowers Feast, and only invited esteemed guests can attend. Among the other musicians, there are more than ten who are comparable to Musician Suya.”

Luo Feng nodded, “Let them play some music so I can hear.”

“Very well,” the green-clad attendant replied, though a hint of doubt arose in his mind. *Why would an Eternal True God be so interested in illusions cast by Void True Gods?*

In Huyang City, some Eternal True Gods admired the Dream Flower Tower Master, and a very few were even madly infatuated with her. However… it was unheard of for Eternal True Gods to have a particular fondness for Void True God-level illusionists.

But since Luo Feng had given the order, the green-clad attendant naturally proceeded to make arrangements immediately.

While employing the “Seven Emotions Soul Refining Technique,” Luo Feng consecutively experienced the illusions of these musicians. Although these musicians belonged to the same lineage, each still had their own specialties. Some even created illusory worlds, making Luo Feng a part of the story within these illusionary realms.

“Venerable One, are you satisfied with these musicians?” the green-clad attendant asked. “Our Dream Flower Tower also has other interesting amusements; the musicians’ illusions are just one of them.”

“Today, my enjoyment is complete! I shall return another time!” Luo Feng stood up and glanced at the petite woman covered in leaves. This shy, delicate woman, named A’Luoya, was a plant-based life form from the Origin Continent. Her music possessed a unique charm, and her ability to stir Luo Feng’s emotions was the strongest, far surpassing other musicians. “This Musician A’Luoya is excellent,” he commented.

As he spoke, Luo Feng casually dropped what appeared to be an ordinary grain of sand, yet it instantly captivated the attention of many beings present.

“Cosmic Sand?” The green-clad attendant exclaimed in surprise, quickly adding, “Venerable One, all your expenses tonight at the Dream Flower Tower are on us; there’s no need…”

“I don’t like taking advantage of others,” Luo Feng said as he walked away.

Morosa, with a wave of his hand, collected the wine pot from the side before quickly following. He couldn’t help but glance at the Cosmic Sand left on the table. “My master gave it to you, so you’d best take it.”

Only then did the green-clad attendant pick up the Cosmic Sand. Seeing the nascent universe contained within, he was also astonished.

The actual cost of the night was only a little over two thousand Chaos Crystals, but Luo Feng’s single grain of Cosmic Sand was worth far more than that.

“A’Luoya, the Venerable One was very pleased with your music, so he has awarded you 10 Chaos Crystals,” the green-clad attendant said.

“Thank you, Manager Yu Luo.” The plant-based life form, A’Luoya, bowed in delighted surprise. The other musicians could only look on with envy; they only received basic service fees, and A’Luoya had clearly gained the most appreciation from that Eternal True God.

In an inconspicuous small building, deep within the area shrouded by the Dream Flower Tower’s grand formation.

A figure in loose robes stood there. As far as her gaze reached, most of the Dream Flower Tower’s scenery was under her observation.

“Tower Master,” the green-clad attendant respectfully said, “That Eternal True God has left, and he paid with a Cosmic Sand.”

The Dream Flower Tower Master nodded slightly. “Tell me all the details about him carefully.”

“Yes,” the green-clad attendant respectfully replied, “His attendant had visited us many times before, but this unfamiliar Eternal True God was here for the first time. In the Dream Flower Tower, he was only interested in the musical illusions.”

“Those musicians are merely Void True Gods. Logically, their illusions should have very little effect on an Eternal True God,” the green-clad attendant explained. “But he seemed to enjoy them greatly.”

“He even shed tears while listening, which is truly baffling,” the green-clad attendant admitted, still somewhat perplexed. “And from what he said, it seems he intends to return.”

The Dream Flower Tower Master chuckled softly. “Billions of beings are unique in their own ways. Perhaps this unfamiliar Eternal True God is simply more susceptible to emotional fluctuations.”

“If the illusions of those musicians had such an impact on him, then if the Tower Master were to personally intervene…” the green-clad attendant murmured, “he might become madly infatuated with you, Tower Master.”

The Dream Flower Tower Master gazed out the window.

Over the long eons, only two Eternal True Gods had truly become infatuated with her. After all, Eternal True Gods possessed extraordinary wills; even if they were momentarily immersed, they would recover once the illusion ended. Those who genuinely became infatuated with her were ultimately very few.

“The next time he comes, tell him that I will be holding a ‘Hundred Flowers Feast’ in ten days and invite him to attend,” the Dream Flower Tower Master said softly.

“Yes, Tower Master,” the green-clad attendant respectfully replied.

A day on the Origin Continent was very long. Over the next few days, besides cultivating, Luo Feng was also taken by Morosa to various places for different expenditures, which broadened his horizons.

The next time Luo Feng visited the Dream Flower Tower, he also received an invitation.

“Venerable One,” the green-clad attendant enthusiastically said, “My Tower Master will be holding a Hundred Flowers Feast in ten days. Many Eternal True Gods from across Huyang City will be invited, and the Tower Master extends the same invitation to you.”

“The Dream Flower Tower Master’s Hundred Flowers Feast?” Luo Feng was surprised. “Is it in just ten days?”

“Yes, in exactly ten days! The Tower Master’s next Hundred Flowers Feast might not be for several eons,” the green-clad attendant confirmed.

Luo Feng smiled. “Since I’ve been invited, I’m naturally pleased to attend. I look forward to witnessing the Tower Master’s mastery of illusions then.”

“May I ask for your esteemed name, Venerable One? Some preparations are needed for the Hundred Flowers Feast,” the green-clad attendant inquired.

“Luo He,” Luo Feng replied.

The green-clad attendant immediately committed the name to memory.

This Hundred Flowers Feast was essentially being held for this very person. If this Eternal True God, “Luo He,” were to become madly infatuated with the Dream Flower Tower Master, then the Tower Master’s influence in Huyang City would undoubtedly increase further.

In the vicinity of the Primal Universe.

Seated Mountain Guest was quite reclusive, having almost no contact with other True Gods. At this moment, Seated Mountain Guest left his mini-universe alone and flew towards Luo Feng’s mini-universe.

“I’ve only been away from the Origin Continent for a little over ten thousand eons, but the time flow in the Primal Universe region is tens of thousands of times faster than that of the Origin Continent. I’ve waited here for far too long!”

“After such a long time, I am still merely a True God! My strength hasn’t improved much,” Seated Mountain Guest’s ancient face showed a hint of desolation. “I can only endure the torment of time’s passage.”

As Seated Mountain Guest pondered, he continuously journeyed towards Luo Feng’s mini-universe. Finally, he could distantly see the massive mini-universe.

“Hmm?” Seated Mountain Guest paused, his eyes widening as he carefully observed Luo Feng’s mini-universe.

“The speed of absorbing chaotic airflow has significantly slowed down,” Seated Mountain Guest said, a touch of excitement in his voice. “It seems Luo Feng’s divine body has finally grown to its limit.”

“His mini-universe, with a diameter of hundreds of billions of light-years, absorbs an enormous amount of chaotic energy every moment! After such a long duration… accumulated, his divine body on the Origin Continent should be between 15 billion and 20 billion kilometers in height.” As a former God King of Jin, Seated Mountain Guest’s judgment on energy scale was highly accurate.

“Excellent, excellent.”

Excitement gleamed in Seated Mountain Guest’s eyes. “Such a massive divine body far surpasses others at the same level. When he eventually becomes a God King, purely in terms of divine power advantage, even ten or eight God Kings combined would be far from comparable to him.”

“With Luo Feng here, I have hope for revenge,” Seated Mountain Guest harbored endless hatred in his heart. Everything he cared about most in his life had been destroyed by the three Nation Lords of the Devour Kingdom.

His senior sister and wife, his close friends and brothers, his many fellow disciples…

All were gone.

From that day forward, Seated Mountain Guest had only one thought in his heart — revenge!

For this, he would stop at nothing!

Everything he did in the Primal Universe was for this goal. He was very fortunate that he had nurtured Luo Feng!

“My strength is much weaker than that of the Sky鲲 Nation Lord, the leader of the three Nation Lords of the Devour Kingdom. Back then, I could only escape by relying on a secret treasure. A head-on confrontation was completely impossible,” Seated Mountain Guest was well aware of this. “Only when Luo Feng grows stronger will I have hope for revenge.”

“Simply by virtue of his massive divine body, Luo Feng should be able to overpower those three Nation Lords of the Devour Kingdom!” Seated Mountain Guest silently thought.

After Luo Feng journeyed through reincarnation to the Origin Continent, Seated Mountain Guest remained in the Primal Universe, wanting to understand the divine power reserves of Luo Feng’s divine body.

Now, Seated Mountain Guest felt relieved.

“It’s time to prepare for the journey through reincarnation. I’ve been away from the Origin Continent for far too long,” Seated Mountain Guest immediately flew towards his mini-universe, beginning his final preparations before venturing into reincarnation.
