Hunyuan City was vast and majestic, and a spaceship was flying in mid-air.

“This Hunyuan City is truly extraordinary.”

Luo Feng observed the outside world from within the spaceship. Having governed Yulan City and resided in Chengfeng City for thousands of epochs, he immediately noticed the difference between Hunyuan City and other cities; this city felt much more formidable and substantial.

Beside him, God-Emperor Bai Yin said, “This city was established by Senior Yuan and others. Countless treasures are stored here, including seven ‘World-level Primordial Life corpses.’ Hunyuan City is naturally indestructible; even if there are vast numbers of lower-level Primordial Lifeforms, they cannot breach its defenses.”

Luo Feng nodded.

“Although it’s very safe, residing permanently in Hunyuan City isn’t easy,” Bo Xiu said with a smile. “There are no living expenses here, but you must own your own cultivation dwelling. The prices for these dwellings are unparalleled throughout the entire Dark Saint Realm. Of course, for peak-level beings, purchasing one is quite simple.” Luo Feng nodded.

He could sense that the two ancestral founders of the Origin Continent resided in Hunyuan City! This indicated that the two ancestral founders from the Source World were relatively wealthy.

“The cultivation dwellings within the Great Primordial Hall are the most expensive. Furthermore, they cannot be rented, only purchased,” said the red-robed youth, Chi Zheng.

Luo Feng gazed into the distance. Even from afar, he could clearly see the vast and majestic Great Primordial Hall, which resembled an octagonal city and covered an immense area.

“The Great Primordial Hall.”

Luo Feng murmured to himself. His primary reason for coming to the Dark Saint Realm was this Great Primordial Hall.

…The moment Luo Feng and the other three entered the Great Primordial Hall, an invisible wave enveloped all four of them.

“Cultivator Luo Feng, what service do you require?” A gentle voice resonated, simultaneously transmitting all the service information the Great Primordial Hall could provide.

“I wish to purchase a cultivation dwelling within the Great Primordial Hall,” Luo Feng replied.

“One cultivation dwelling costs 1 million battle merits. Are you sure you wish to exchange?” the gentle voice responded.

“Confirm exchange.”

Luo Feng’s first objective in coming here was this cultivation dwelling. To put it in perspective, a city like Yulan City costs only 2 million merit points! For a single cultivation dwelling to be so expensive meant that even among peak-level beings, only a few were willing to purchase one.

“Cultivator Luo Feng, you have exchanged for Dwelling B-9! From this moment forth, the space-time of Dwelling B-9 will be entirely under your command,” the gentle voice stated.

Luo Feng immediately sensed that a distinct space-time deep within the Great Primordial Hall had established a connection with him.

“Brother Luo Feng.”

Bo Xiu, Bai Yin, and Chi Zheng looked at Luo Feng. “We haven’t purchased a dwelling in the Great Primordial Hall,” Bo Xiu said. “We all reside permanently in Chengfeng City, and in Hunyuan City, we only bought an ordinary dwelling.”

“We won’t disturb you here,” God-Emperor Bai Yin added.

“Brother Luo Feng, do you need our help to continue acquiring life-and-death secret treasures?” asked the red-robed youth, Chi Zheng.

“Yes.”

Luo Feng replied, “Acquire five exquisite secret treasures; that will be enough.”

His most urgent priority now was for his Path of Life and Death to reach the Half-Primordial level, at which point he would be summoned. The importance of these life-and-death secret treasures had already significantly decreased. However, Luo Feng was wealthy enough. God-Emperor Mixu and the others would soon deliver another 7.5 trillion Primordial Crystals, so Luo Feng certainly wouldn’t be stingy.

“We understand.”

“If Brother Luo Feng has any instructions, feel free to contact us at any time.” With that, Bo Xiu, Chi Zheng, and Bai Yin took their leave.

Luo Feng watched them depart, then followed his senses and flew towards Dwelling B-9.

Inside the Great Primordial Hall, it was like a labyrinth of space and time. Luo Feng flew following his senses, encountering no obstacles along the way, until he arrived at the space-time he had perceived.

“A single dwelling is an independent space-time? And it contains the origin of heaven and earth, with its own natural rules?” Luo Feng was astonished. No wonder it sold for such a high price; as the dwelling’s owner, he was naturally the master of this space-time.

As the master of this space-time, its primordial power could be easily converted into his own strength. Primordial power could give birth to all things and all life, with no hindrance during the conversion process.

“The primordial power nourishes my body and soul, increasing my thought speed by more than ten times, and it’s incredibly comfortable.” Luo Feng felt the wonder of the primordial power of heaven and earth. “This is truly a treasure land for cultivation.”

“First, absorb energy to reach 1.2 billion times.” Luo Feng began absorbing with all his might.

No matter how much primordial power Luo Feng absorbed, the power of this space-time showed no signs of diminishing. Luo Feng’s conversion speed almost reached the limit his mind and consciousness could withstand.

“Two million times, three million times, ten million times… fifty million times… three hundred million times…”

Luo Feng sat cross-legged in this space, his body growing progressively larger until it finally reached 1.2 billion times its original size before stopping completely.

“It only took a moment to reach 1.2 billion times?” Luo Feng was astonished by the absorption speed. The power from the World Origin Pearl had taken him three days to fully convert, and that was only a million times his energy reserve. Yet, within the cultivation dwelling of the Great Primordial Hall, a 1.2-billion-fold energy reserve was achieved in mere moments, without even causing a significant stir.

“A 1.2-billion-fold perfect divine body energy reserve does bring a considerable burden!” Luo Feng felt his physical body at that moment. It was too heavy.

Luo Feng stood up. He walked step by step within this independent space-time, each step incredibly heavy. This weight, if unleashed outside the Great Primordial Hall, would be enough to cause a vast area of space-time to collapse.

“My current mind and consciousness system can perfectly control an 8-million-fold energy reserve. Beyond that, my strength cannot increase. The absolute limit I can control is a 300-million-fold energy reserve. Beyond that limit… my strength begins to decline.”

The difference between perfect control and extreme control was still significant. Exceeding extreme control offered no benefits and was, in fact, detrimental.

“Just like now, every step I take is arduous.”

“My mind and consciousness system still has many flaws; what I need is to perfectly control 1.2 billion times the energy!”

With a thought, Luo Feng directly contacted the Great Primordial Hall, as his dwelling was located within it. “Cultivator Luo Feng, what service do you require?” the gentle voice asked.

“I’ve found that within the Great Primordial Hall, there are 65 types of high-level Primordial lifeblood of the ‘life’ category and 83 types of the ‘destruction’ category,” Luo Feng inquired. “How many of them are exceptionally large in physical size for their respective levels?”

“High-level Primordial Lifeforms of the ‘life’ category are generally larger in size. High-level Primordial Lifeforms of the ‘destruction’ category are generally smaller. Among those considered exceptionally large for their level, there are nine types in the ‘life’ category and one type in the ‘destruction’ category. You can review the detailed information carefully.” The gentle voice also transmitted a large amount of detailed information.

Luo Feng understood. “I’ll buy all of them, paying with Primordial Crystals. For each high-level Primordial lifeblood, I’ll need twelve corresponding body materials.”

“The 148 types of high-level Primordial lifeblood and their corresponding materials will cost a total of 1.0059 trillion Primordial Crystals,” the gentle voice stated.

Soon, all these high-level Primordial lifebloods and materials were delivered to Luo Feng’s dwelling.

“They need to be sent back,” Luo Feng knew clearly. These Primordial lifebloods and materials could only truly be effective when combined with the Book of Wisdom and the Eye of Life and Death.

“Whoosh.” Luo Feng sat cross-legged and immediately separated a clone. This clone, possessing a full 8-million-fold energy reserve, quietly left the Great Primordial Hall and Hunyuan City with the treasures, heading straight for the Teleportation Sacred Mountain.

“With ample resources in the Great Primordial Hall, I must undergo a proper secluded cultivation this time.”

His previous seclusion had lasted only a thousand epochs because his body’s energy reserve was too small, insufficient for practical application. This time, with abundant energy reserves and access to various rare cultivation-aiding treasures available for purchase at any time within the Great Primordial Hall, he could naturally calm his mind and enter a long period of seclusion.

“Such an enormous physical body?”

Inside the Great Primordial Hall, two high-level Primordial Lifeforms were observing Luo Feng. They paid little attention to the fact that the Great Primordial Hall effortlessly provided all the energy Luo Feng absorbed. After all, the Great Primordial Hall imprisoned so many ‘Zeyuan Prisoners’! It even held seven ‘World-level Primordial Life corpses’! The immense power required to maintain this was self-evident. Moreover, both of these high-level Primordial Lifeforms had been cultivating here for a long time, and their energy absorption speed was far greater than Luo Feng’s.

“He hasn’t even leaped out of the cage yet, but his physical body alone is already a tenth of mine,” the woman in the fiery red robe couldn’t help but exclaim. “Once he does leap out of the cage, that will be a qualitative change! He might surpass me by more than hundreds of millions of times! If he becomes a high-level Primordial Lifeform, his sheer physical size alone would immediately reach the extreme limit of a high-level Primordial Lifeform, wouldn’t it?”

“How is that possible?” The silver-haired, silver-browed man shook his head. “He cultivates the Path of Fusion; how could he refine high-level Primordial lifeblood? Even if he chose to, the Lords probably wouldn’t agree.” “That’s right, he looks down on high-level Primordial Lifeforms,” the woman in the fiery red robe said with complex emotions. She had spent endless effort and only achieved ultimate bloodline awakening to become a high-level Primordial Lifeform through a fortunate chance.

But this cultivator Luo Feng? He disdained high-level Primordial Lifeforms.

“He will definitely choose ‘World-level Primordial lifeblood’ first. With his comprehension, and under the Lords’ guidance, as long as he comprehends over 70% of the World-level Primordial lifeblood, he will successfully refine it and become a World-level Primordial Lifeform,” the silver-haired, silver-browed man said. “After becoming a World-level Primordial Lifeform, his life essence will transform, and his thought speed will be immeasurably faster than before leaping out of the cage. Only then can he contemplate the Grand Dao with the hope of becoming a Primordial Lord.”

“Six of the seven Lords in our cultivator faction first became World-level, then became Lords.”

“Only one directly became a Lord immediately after leaping out of the cage.”

The silver-haired, silver-browed man stated, “Becoming World-level first, then a Lord, is also the most established path. Cultivators who open up the Path of Fusion have the highest potential and generally follow this route.”

“How many have actually become Lords?” the woman in the fiery red robe gently shook her head.

A Lord represents the ultimate pinnacle of the boundless Primordial Space!

“He will most likely become World-level. If he refines his home Source World, he will become its master,” the silver-haired, silver-browed man sighed, feeling both envy and admiration.

High-level Primordial Lifeform, World-level Primordial Lifeform, Primordial Lord! These are three major tiers.

The gap between these tiers is immense! This also means that each tier’s advancement eliminates a vast number of cultivators. Therefore, directly becoming a ‘Primordial Lord’ from the ‘Half-Primordial Realm’ is incredibly difficult, almost inconceivable! To this day, only one individual in the entire boundless Primordial Space has achieved this.
