## Chapter 131: Awe

Luo Feng left Emperor Chu’s palace and returned to his dwelling.

“Master,” Morosa greeted, having waited for him.

Luo Feng smiled at him. “I have officially become the Emperor’s disciple.”

Morosa immediately showed his delight. Although it had been virtually certain when General Xuanjiao came to invite Luo Feng, Morosa had still worried about unforeseen circumstances. After all, he was a World Beast and feared implicating his master.

“I’m going into seclusion now,” Luo Feng instructed. “For a while, don’t bother me unless it’s something truly important.” He planned to consume the Chaotic Origin Crystal Spirit Fruit, which naturally required his complete focus on cultivation.

Besides his master, Emperor Chu, he would sever all contact with the outside world. Of course, Morosa could still contact him telepathically.

During his seclusion, the Original Ancestor, Moyu Qingyan, and Emperor Chu Yu would temporarily be unable to contact him.

“Don’t worry, Master,” Morosa replied.

Luo Feng also sent messages to the Original Ancestor and others.

Immediately, Luo Feng headed to his quiet chamber.

“Master has become the Emperor’s disciple!” Morosa was greatly excited. As a World Beast, he felt constant apprehension on the Origin Continent. After all, throughout the history of the Origin Continent, all World Beasts, except for the one in Tianmu Kingdom, had perished.

“Once I become a peak World Beast, and with the Emperor backing my master, my situation shouldn’t be worse than that World Beast in Tianmu Kingdom,” Morosa thought.

“If I could get some more powerful Chaos Realm corpses, perhaps I could even become a God-King.”

The corpse of Grand Saint Beiyu had greatly advanced Morosa’s strength!

However, the bottleneck between the Chaos Realm and God-King status was incredibly difficult to break through. For Morosa, it required a qualitative change in the ‘World’ within his body.

The quiet chamber was located in one of the Star Tower’s internal spaces.

Luo Feng gazed at the pale red fruit before him. Just its faint fragrance made his soul feel incredibly joyful and relaxed, and his thought process accelerated by several times.

“This is a rare treasure bestowed upon my master by Ancestor Yanfeng, a marvel that cannot even be conceived within the Source World itself,” Luo Feng understood the immense value of such a treasure.

For his master, Emperor Chu, who already stood at the pinnacle of the Origin Continent and was backed by Ancestor Yanfeng, they possessed knowledge of the Origin Continent’s entire past, could even glimpse traces of the future, understand many truths about the Source World, and learn many secrets beyond it.

Emperor Chu’s vision extended very far, even considering what would happen after the Source World’s eventual end.

But for Luo Feng, time was still infinitely long!

Even a single cycle era in the Original Universe was vast, and tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of such eras were merely a period of time under the supreme rules governing the Source World. Luo Feng didn’t look as far ahead as Emperor Chu; he currently only focused on taking each step carefully.

First, he would progress step by step, reaching the peak of the Origin Continent. This would also allow him to repay his master’s kindness and help his former master, Sitting Mountain Guest, exact revenge.

“Now that I’ve come to Chudu, I finally understand the taste of top-tier resources,” Luo Feng mused to himself.

Before arriving, he had been too poor, lacking even a suitable God-King level legacy.

Now, he possessed the “Eight Calamity Life Body” and “Seventy-Two Severing Blades” legacies, both of which surpassed the God-King Ultimate Realm, created by beings of extremely high cultivation.

As for auxiliary cultivation resources, imperial elites, direct disciples of God-Kings, and others regularly used such aids. Luo Feng had never even encountered these types of resources before.

“Such a rare treasure,” Luo Feng muttered, looking at the pale red fruit. “Time to try it.”

He took a gentle bite. The pulp was slightly tough, but with the strength of Luo Feng’s divine body, he naturally chewed and swallowed it with a crunch. In just a few bites, Luo Feng completely consumed the fruit. Once the pulp entered his body, it gradually decomposed, and its energy began to spread, affecting his soul.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng felt a change within himself.

With his perfect divine body, Luo Feng’s soul was already powerful. Coupled with his God-King Second Stage mind and will, his thought speed was already exceptionally fast.

However, now, nourished by the fruit’s energy, his soul’s thinking speed easily reached over twenty times its previous level. His soul also felt much more ethereal, and as he briefly pondered the ‘Chapter of Life Spirituality’ within the first calamity of the “Eight Calamity Life Body,” past confusions quickly became clear to him.

“In the past, flashes of insight were rare during my cultivation,” he mused.

“But now, my comprehension has greatly increased, and many past confusions are no longer perplexing. And my thought process is over twenty times faster.”

“Is this the auxiliary cultivation effect of truly top-tier resources on the Origin Continent?”

Luo Feng stopped pondering and began to focus on comprehending the legacies.

In the core region of the Original Universe’s Source Land, Luo Feng’s divine power avatar directly faced the majestic and vast Great Dao of Life Origin.

“The Great Dao of Life Origin…” Luo Feng observed. Because he had consumed the Chaotic Origin Crystal Spirit Fruit, his conscious observation of the complete Great Dao of Life Origin had become much sharper, and his thought process had greatly improved. The Great Dao of Life Origin he observed had also transformed.

In his eyes, the Great Dao of Life Origin initially appeared as a winding dragon with twenty-four claws.

However, upon closer inspection, he saw a deeper essence.

“The manifest form of this Great Dao of Life Origin actually contains six major branches,” Luo Feng clearly saw. Each branch was profound and mysterious, and their perfect combination made the entire Great Dao even more vast and complex.

It was like the ten fundamental laws: individually, they were simple, and many could be comprehended even below the True God level.

However, to integrate the ten fundamental laws into one, forming ‘Chaos Law,’ was something only a Chaos Realm expert of the Law-lineage could achieve!

The same principle applied!

Comprehending any one of the six branches of the Great Dao of Life Origin to perfection meant reaching the God-King First Stage.

Comprehending all six branches to perfection was not difficult either.

But to fully integrate all six branches into one… the difficulty immediately soared by an unknown magnitude. Only by thoroughly merging them into a single entity could one be said to have grasped the complete Great Dao of Life Origin and be considered a God-King Ultimate Realm expert.

“The gap between the God-King First Stage and the God-King Ultimate Realm is truly immense,” Luo Feng now understood the distinction among the ancient beings on the Origin Continent.

The imperial elites of the two ancient kingdoms had also consumed many resources, some of which were no less potent than the Chaotic Origin Crystal Spirit Fruit.

However…

The effect of resources also depended on who consumed them.

In an environment like the Original Universe, where Luo Feng’s perception of laws was vague, he could still reach the Eternal True God level. His comprehension could be imagined. Now, after consuming the Chaotic Origin Crystal Spirit Fruit and observing the Great Dao of Life Origin, he felt various insights continuously surge into his mind.

All six branches of the Great Dao of Life Origin were progressing.

Time flowed on.

Luo Feng simultaneously faced the Great Dao of Life Origin while comprehending the first calamity of “Eight Calamity Life Body” and “Seventy-Two Severing Blades.” Occasionally, he also had Morosa display the mysteries of his Great Dao of Destruction Origin.

During this cultivation period, Emperor Chu Yu, the Original Ancestor, and Moyu Qingyan did not disturb Luo Feng.

Finally, the effects of the Chaotic Origin Crystal Spirit Fruit completely dissipated.

Luo Feng felt his soul become much heavier and turbid, and his thought process slowed down. Having grown accustomed to the previous rapid thinking and greatly increased comprehension, Luo Feng felt somewhat unaccustomed to the change now.

“This single Chaotic Origin Crystal Spirit Fruit lasted for a little over one era,” Luo Feng said, stopping his cultivation, somewhat awestruck. “In just over one era, I actually improved this much?”

All six branches of the Great Dao of Life Origin and all six branches of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin had made comprehensive progress.

However, because cultivating the Great Dao of Destruction Origin required Morosa to display its mysteries, its progress was much slower than that of the Great Dao of Life Origin.

“All twelve branches have made comprehensive progress.”

The first calamity of the “Eight Calamity Life Body” recorded three lineages: Life Body, Life Source, and Life Spirituality. The first volume of “Seventy-Two Severing Blades” recorded two lineages: Sky-Splitting and Dark Sky.

With these legacies, the progress of these five lineages was naturally faster.

“The Sky-Splitting and Dark Sky lineages of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin have both reached the peak level of the Chaos Realm.”

“The Life Body and Life Source lineages of the Great Dao of Life Origin have also reached the peak level of the Chaos Realm.”

“And the Life Spirituality lineage has reached the pinnacle level of the Chaos Realm.”

Luo Feng was amazed.

Even with powerful legacies, a Chaos Realm expert with sufficiently high talent might still need tens of thousands of eras to reach the peak of the Chaos Realm.

Luo Feng estimated that without the Chaotic Origin Crystal Spirit Fruit, it would have taken him one or two hundred eras of focused cultivation to reach his current level.

“One Chaotic Origin Crystal Spirit Fruit is worth a hundred times the effect?”

“Most importantly… the increase in comprehension! When encountering a bottleneck, an increase in comprehension makes breaking through it easier.” Luo Feng understood that the Chaotic Origin Crystal Spirit Fruit was more suited for use when breaking through bottlenecks.

Luo Feng clearly felt at this moment that he had already understood all the mysteries of the ‘Life Spirituality’ branch. What he needed now was the final step: perfectly integrating them into one to form a complete branch, only then could he become a God-King.

“There are many Chaos Realm peak experts on the Origin Continent; even peripheral nations have quite a few such beings. Some who obtain top-tier resources can even cultivate to ‘Chaos Realm transcendence.’ Yet, they simply cannot become God-Kings.”

“This is because perfectly integrating all mysteries into one is far more difficult than merely comprehending all of them,” Luo Feng understood the difficulty.

Comprehending all mysteries was part of the learning process; by slowly learning, one would continuously progress.

But integrating them into one was a qualitative change!

“I have ten fruits in total. As per my master’s instructions, I am to use five in the Chaos Realm and five in the God-King First Stage,” Luo Feng thought. “Based on the effect of the first fruit…”

“With the help of the first fruit, my realm greatly improved, and my strength also increased significantly.”

“Next, I need to be patient, allowing my various branches to gradually accumulate and slowly comprehend them on my own to reach the peak of the Chaos Realm.”

“Once all five major branches from the first calamity of ‘Eight Calamity Life Body’ and the first volume of ‘Seventy-Two Severing Blades’ have reached the peak of the Chaos Realm, I will then consume the second fruit.” Luo Feng was well aware of the difficulty of becoming a God-King.

Therefore, such Chaotic Origin Crystal Spirit Fruits must be used at the most crucial moments.

Only by reaching the peak of the Chaos Realm without relying on external objects in daily cultivation could one hope to advance further with external aids.

“Whoosh.”

Luo Feng emerged from the quiet chamber. He looked at the surrounding scenery, seeing the flowers and plants seemingly infused with endless vitality, growing rapidly. The branches and leaves of the large trees were also full of boundless life, swaying as if about to come alive.

“If I advance further, I might be able to easily imbue these ordinary flowers, plants, and trees with sentience,” Luo Feng thought.

Morosa, the Original Ancestor, and Moyu Qingyan all rushed over, as Luo Feng’s seclusion had lasted for an exceptionally long time this time. When they saw Luo Feng, they noticed that the surrounding plants and flowers were blooming, and the entire space was filled with the power of life.

“Master,” Moyu Qingyan felt his master was different, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint how.

Morosa, with his sufficiently high cultivation, could sense that Luo Feng’s life aura was terrifyingly stronger than before, even more formidable than his own as a World Beast.

“How can Master’s aura be so terrifying?” Morosa secretly wondered.

The Original Ancestor looked at Luo Feng. He felt Luo Feng’s invisible aura, which even affected the operation of the ‘Illusory Universe’ he had constructed within his body. “An individual who is too powerful naturally influences the operation of heaven and earth, even affecting the illusory universe within me. The current Luo Feng feels much stronger than before his seclusion.”

“Master, are you about to become a God-King?” Morosa couldn’t help but ask.

“Far from it,” Luo Feng replied with a chuckle. “After such a long seclusion, I’ve lost my appetite for anything. Come on, let’s go have a meal at Yu Jiufang’s place.”

“Alright, alright!”

Morosa was overjoyed, and the Original Ancestor and Moyu Qingyan’s eyes also lit up.

Yu Jiufang was a Chaos Realm expert who had entered the path through culinary arts! His dishes were no less precious than some rare natural treasures, and the Original Ancestor and Moyu Qingyan were very much tempted. As the most skilled chef in Chudu, it wasn’t easy to get him to cook. Only when God-Kings and Chaos Realm Transcendent beings personally requested it would Yu Jiufang warmly entertain them.
