## Chapter 16: Seated Mountain Guest’s Anticipation

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

Luo Feng glanced at the black-robed woman and nodded. “You may leave.”

“Su Ya takes her leave,” the black-robed musician Su Ya respectfully withdrew.

Luo Feng ignored Morosa and the green-clad attendant serving beside him, instead drinking alone.

For a time, both Morosa and the green-clad attendant dared not utter a sound within the immense hall.

Luo Feng silently drank his wine, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

His will was currently enduring the tempering of the *Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method*.

Like steel forged through countless hammer blows, a living being needed to experience repeated setbacks to gradually mature.

The will was the same.

It needed to undergo constant refinement! The more intense the refinement, the stronger the will would become if it did not collapse!

The *Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method* was unique, using various emotions to temper one’s will. As the secret art circulated, intense emotions surged into his heart, constantly assaulting his will.

“I have cultivated for too long; my emotions have become deeper and more restrained. Who would have thought that here, in this Dream Flower Pavilion, I would be brought back to a time when my emotions were at their most intense?” Luo Feng’s eyes held a trace of reminiscence.

“Within the *Lie Yuan Technique*, there are many secret methods for cultivating the will. I had long chosen the *Great Destruction Heart Refining Method* to temper my will. I have already practiced it many times during my secluded cultivation for over one Epoch. That secret method has a high enough upper limit, while the *Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method* is ultimately limited. After all, I cannot remain in a constant state of emotional turmoil, or I would surely go mad,” Luo Feng thought.

The *Great Destruction Heart Refining Method* used the artistic conception of the great destruction of all things in existence to grind away at one’s will!

Luo Feng’s task was to resist with his will!

Because Morosa possessed the innate mastery of the ‘Source of Destruction,’ Luo Feng could observe it directly and attempt to condense the artistic conception of great destruction, making the secret method exceptionally efficient.

The Source of Destruction was equivalent to the ‘Source of Life’ in the original universe! By enslaving a World Beast, one could directly observe the ‘Source of Destruction,’ so naturally Luo Feng would primarily focus on the *Great Destruction Heart Refining Method*.

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

“Is this musician Su Ya the most skilled at influencing emotions through illusions in your Dream Flower Pavilion?” Luo Feng suddenly asked.

The green-clad attendant, hearing the question, immediately replied, “Naturally, the most skilled in illusions in our Dream Flower Pavilion is the Pavilion Master. However, the Pavilion Master only occasionally holds a Hundred Flower Banquet, which only invited guests can attend. Among the other musicians, there are more than ten who are close to Su Ya’s level.”

Luo Feng nodded. “Have them come and perform for me.”

“Yes,” the green-clad attendant replied, though a hint of confusion arose in their heart. Why would an Eternal True God be so concerned with a Void True God’s illusionary arts?

In Hu Yang City, there were some Eternal True Gods who favored the Dream Flower Pavilion Master, and even a few who were madly infatuated with her. But… it was unheard of for an Eternal True God to be particularly fond of Void True God-level illusionists.

However, Luo Feng had given the order, so the green-clad attendant naturally went to arrange it immediately.

…

While practicing the *Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method*, Luo Feng successively experienced the illusions of these musicians. Although they came from the same lineage, each had their own specialties. Some even created illusionary worlds, making Luo Feng a part of the story within those worlds.

“Honored guest, are you satisfied with these musicians?” the green-clad attendant said. “Our Dream Flower Pavilion has other interesting little diversions as well. The musicians’ illusionary arts are just one aspect.”

“Tonight, my interest is exhausted! I will come again in the future!” Luo Feng stood up and glanced at the petite woman covered in leaves. The woman, named A Luo Ya, was somewhat shy. She was a plant lifeform from the Origin Continent, and her music possessed a special charm, having the strongest effect on Luo Feng’s emotions, far surpassing the other musicians. “This musician, A Luo Ya, is very talented.”

With that, Luo Feng casually tossed a seemingly ordinary grain of sand onto the table. However, the sand instantly attracted the attention of many beings present.

“Cosmic Sand?” the green-clad attendant exclaimed in surprise, immediately saying, “Honored guest, the Dream Flower Pavilion will cover all your expenses tonight, you don’t need…”

“I do not like taking advantage,” Luo Feng said as he walked out.

Morosa waved his hand to collect the wine pots nearby, then quickly followed, unable to resist glancing at the grain of Cosmic Sand left on the table. “My master has given it, so you should quickly accept it.”

Only then did the green-clad attendant pick up the grain of Cosmic Sand, and upon seeing a nascent universe contained within, the attendant was astonished.

The expenses for the night were only a little over two thousand Chaos Crystals, but Luo Feng’s grain of Cosmic Sand far exceeded that value.

“A Luo Ya, the honored guest was very pleased with your music. Here are 10 Chaos Crystals as a reward,” the green-clad attendant said.

“Thank you, Manager Yu Luo!” The plant lifeform, A Luo Ya, happily bowed in gratitude. The other musicians could only watch with envy, as they only received the basic service fees. A Luo Ya was clearly the one who had gained the favor of that Eternal True God.

Deep within the Dream Flower Pavilion, protected by multiple arrays, was an inconspicuous small building.

A figure in loose robes stood there, her gaze encompassing most of the Dream Flower Pavilion.

“Pavilion Master,” the green-clad attendant respectfully said, “That Eternal True God has left. He even paid with a grain of Cosmic Sand.”

The Dream Flower Pavilion Master nodded slightly. “Tell me everything you know about him in detail.”

“Yes,” the green-clad attendant respectfully replied. “His servants have been here many times before, but this unfamiliar Eternal True God came for the first time. While at the Dream Flower Pavilion, he only cared about the music and illusionary arts.” “Those musicians are only Void True Gods, so normally they would have little influence on an Eternal True God,” the green-clad attendant said. “But he seemed to enjoy it very much.”

“He even shed tears while listening, which is indeed a bit incomprehensible,” the green-clad attendant admitted, also confused. “And according to what he said, he will come again.”

The Dream Flower Pavilion Master smiled gently. “Billions of living beings each have their own peculiarities. Perhaps this unfamiliar Eternal True God is simply more susceptible to emotional fluctuations.”

“If those musicians’ illusionary arts have such an impact on him, then if the Pavilion Master personally intervened…” the green-clad attendant whispered, “He might become fanatically infatuated with the Pavilion Master.”

The Dream Flower Pavilion Master looked out the window.

Over the long years, there had only been two Eternal True Gods who were truly infatuated with her. After all, Eternal True Gods possessed extraordinary will. Even if they were momentarily immersed, they would recover once the illusions ended. In the end, only a very few were truly infatuated with her.

“When he comes again next time, tell him that I will be hosting a ‘Hundred Flower Banquet’ in ten days and invite him to attend,” the Dream Flower Pavilion Master said softly.

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

…

A day on the Origin Continent was very long. In the following days, Luo Feng, between cultivating, was also taken by Morosa to many places and various establishments, broadening his horizons.

When he came to the Dream Flower Pavilion again, Luo Feng received an invitation.

“Honored guest,” the green-clad attendant said enthusiastically, “Our Pavilion Master will be hosting a Hundred Flower Banquet in ten days. Many Eternal True Gods from the entire Hu Yang City will be invited, and the Pavilion Master has also invited you to attend.”

“The Dream Flower Pavilion Master’s Hundred Flower Banquet?” Luo Feng asked in surprise. “It’s in ten days?”

“Yes, it’s in ten days! The Pavilion Master might not hold another Hundred Flower Banquet for several Epochs after this one,” the green-clad attendant said.

Luo Feng smiled. “Since I have been invited, I am naturally happy to attend. I look forward to witnessing the Pavilion Master’s skill in illusionary arts.”

“May I ask for your esteemed name? The Hundred Flower Banquet requires some advance preparations,” the green-clad attendant said.

“Luo He,” Luo Feng replied.

The green-clad attendant immediately firmly memorized the name.

This Hundred Flower Banquet was actually for the person in front of them. If this Eternal True God, ‘Luo He,’ became fanatically infatuated with the Dream Flower Pavilion Master, then the Dream Flower Pavilion Master’s influence in Hu Yang City would naturally increase even further.

In the area surrounding the original universe.

Seated Mountain Guest was reclusive, rarely interacting with other True Gods. At this moment, Seated Mountain Guest left his own miniature universe alone and flew towards Luo Feng’s miniature universe.

“I have only been gone from the Origin Continent for a little over ten thousand Epochs, but the time flow rate of the original universe area is more than ten thousand times faster than that of the Origin Continent. I have been waiting here for far too long!”

“Over such a long time, I am still only a True God! My strength has not improved much either,” Seated Mountain Guest’s ancient face held a hint of desolation. “I can only suffer the torment of the passage of time.”

As he thought, Seated Mountain Guest continued to rush towards Luo Feng’s miniature universe. Finally, he could see the enormous miniature universe in the distance.

“Hmm?” Seated Mountain Guest was startled. He widened his eyes and carefully observed Luo Feng’s miniature universe.

“The speed at which it absorbs chaotic airflow has greatly decreased,” Seated Mountain Guest said with some excitement. “It seems that Luo Feng’s godly body has finally reached its limit.”

“His miniature universe, with a diameter of over a hundred billion light-years, absorbs a vast amount of chaotic energy every moment! This has continued for so long… Accumulatively, his godly body on the Origin Continent should be between 15 billion kilometers and 20 billion kilometers tall,” Seated Mountain Guest, as the former Jin God-king, was very accurate in judging energy scale.

“Good, good, good.”

Seated Mountain Guest’s eyes held excitement. “Such a massive godly body far surpasses those of the same level. When he becomes a God-king in the future, simply in terms of godly power advantage, even ten or eight God-kings working together would be far from comparable to him.”

“With Luo Feng around, I have hope of avenging myself.” Seated Mountain Guest’s heart was filled with endless hatred. Everything he cared about most in his life had been destroyed by the three Nation Leaders of Shi Country.

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

Everything was gone.

From that day on, Seated Mountain Guest had only one thought in his mind: revenge!

For this, he would pay any price!

Everything he did in the original universe was for this goal. He was fortunate that he had nurtured Luo Feng!

“My strength is much weaker than that of the Sky Kun Nation Leader, who is the head of the three Nation Leaders of Shi Country. I was only able to escape with my life back then due to secret treasures. A direct confrontation would be impossible,” Seated Mountain Guest was very clear about this. “Only when Luo Feng grows stronger will I have any hope of revenge.”

“Just based on the huge advantage of his godly body alone, Luo Feng should be able to overpower the three Nation Leaders of Shi Country!” Seated Mountain Guest said silently.

After Luo Feng ventured into reincarnation and headed to the Origin Continent, he continued to stay in the original universe area to understand the godly power reserves of Luo Feng’s godly body.

Now, Seated Mountain Guest could rest assured.

“It’s time to prepare to venture into reincarnation. I have been away from the Origin Continent for far too long,” Seated Mountain Guest immediately flew towards his own miniature universe, beginning the final preparations and arrangements before venturing into reincarnation.
