## Chapter 13: The First Secluded Cultivation

Within a layer of the Star Tower, the space was boundless and ancient. Luo Feng sat cross-legged, his form beginning to expand.

“Larger! Larger! Larger!”

From his initial height, barely that of a common True God – a single *ren* tall – Luo Feng swelled in the blink of an eye, dwarfing even the elegant mountain range in his own dwelling, which stood over ten thousand kilometers high. That mountain would scarcely reach the size of one of Luo Feng’s little toes.

“The spacetime of the Origin Continent is incredibly stable, with immense suppression. True Gods are generally only about a *ren* tall. Now that I fully manifest my true form, I am merely 120 million kilometers in height!” Luo Feng surveyed his towering self, sighing, “The suppression of the Origin Continent is indeed too strong. If this were the regions surrounding the Primal Universe, my divine body would be countless times larger.”

The time flow and spatial suppression between the two regions were drastically different.

In the Primal Universe, True Gods possessed enormous physiques.

“Back then, I broke through from True God to Eternal True God in a short period. My perfect divine body has not yet reached its limit,” Luo Feng knew full well. His miniature universe constantly absorbed chaotic currents, transforming them into divine power to fuel the growth of his divine body.

He was growing taller every moment!

A height of 120 million kilometers was simply a stage in his development!

“After countless years of accumulation on the Origin Continent, there are still quite a few who possess infinite divine bodies,” Luo Feng had extensive information on infinite divine bodies; past incarnations of Duan Dong River included two such beings.

How tall could a perfect divine body grow at the Eternal True God stage? Luo Feng did not know, as there were no precedents.

But he knew the height of an infinite divine body!

“An ‘infinite divine body’ at the Eternal True God level can reach a maximum height of 3.6 billion kilometers in the Origin Continent environment,” Luo Feng mused, “I have a perfect divine body; my growth limit… should be even higher!”

“I should just let it develop slowly for now.”

Luo Feng closed his eyes in meditation, beginning his study of the *Chaos Great Strength Diagram*.

Possessing a perfect divine body, Luo Feng naturally had to capitalize on his advantage. He carefully sifted through the vast inheritances he had acquired and selected the body refinement technique known as the *Chaos Great Strength Diagram*.

“Cultivating the divine body until it is akin to a treasure weapon – a weapon a hundred kilometers tall versus one hundreds of millions of kilometers tall – even if their refining principles are similar, their power is vastly different,” Luo Feng meticulously studied and comprehended the refinement technique.

The *Chaos Great Strength Diagram* appeared to be an ordinary Chaos Realm body refinement method, but it was perfectly suited for those with enormous divine bodies.

This method was divided into six layers.

The first three were for the Eternal level.

The last three were for the Chaos Realm level.

“The first layer of the *Chaos Great Strength Diagram* is ‘Foundation Building’.” Luo Feng summoned a small amount of forging materials and began to melt them, using his secret technique. With the strength of Luo Feng’s perfect divine power, melting the materials was easy.

However, even after understanding the forging techniques, he needed to experiment repeatedly.

“Refining weapons is not easy! Refining an ‘Eternal True God-level weapon’ is even harder.” Luo Feng learned the various refining techniques described in the secret method, naturally encountering difficulties along the way.

The properties of the materials, their combination, the inscription of formations, how to combine different formations…

He encountered difficulties one after another, then resolved them.

“Fortunately, I became an Eternal True God through comprehending laws, fully understanding their essence,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but remark as he studied the weapon refining method, “Those who cultivated into Eternal True Gods through bloodlines know what to do, but not why. Without understanding the essence of the laws, learning weapon refining methods would be much more difficult for them.”

In truth, any top-tier secret technique was difficult!

Even if one obtained a secret technique, they might not necessarily master it.

The path of cultivation grew more difficult the higher one went!

Only those who comprehended the essence of the laws and took solid steps at every stage could hope to reach the God King level.

Time flowed on.

One day, two days, three days…

Each day on the Origin Continent was equivalent to roughly one year in the Primal Universe. Considering that the Primal Universe had a faster time flow, with one second there equaling 10,081 seconds here,

Therefore, one day on the Origin Continent was equivalent to a staggering 10,081 years, or one Epoch, in the Primal Universe!

Luo Feng’s miniature universe, with a diameter of 100 billion light-years, frantically absorbed chaotic currents to condense divine power, connecting to Luo Feng’s True God heart and fueling the growth of his divine body.

Within the Star Tower, Luo Feng, standing at 120 million kilometers tall, slowly grew taller.

130 million kilometers, 140 million kilometers… 200 million kilometers… 300 million kilometers… As his height increased, so did the amount of divine power he needed, and the speed of his growth slowed.

Immersed in his study of the *Chaos Great Strength Diagram*, Luo Feng forgot about time.

“Hahaha, trades are like mountains! Fortunately, my understanding of the laws is deeper, and fortunately this is just the first layer of the *Chaos Great Strength Diagram*, ‘Foundation Building’. I’ve finally grasped it completely!” Luo Feng laughed.

“Oh?” Luo Feng then noticed he had grown taller. “My height has reached 800 million kilometers?”

Luo Feng didn’t pay much attention to this height. After all, according to the information he had, infinite divine bodies could reach a height of 3.6 billion kilometers at the Eternal True God stage.

“The divine body is still growing. Refining it is best once it has fully stabilized,” Luo Feng thought, otherwise, refining his body while it was still growing would be a waste of materials.

“I should study other secret techniques,” Luo Feng was now completely absorbed in cultivation.

Having just become an Eternal True God, cultivating various secret techniques would naturally improve him in all aspects.

This feeling of constant growth was highly addictive.

“*Boundary Breaking Nine Blades*, *Lie Yuan Art*, *Extinction*, *Eastern Flower*, *Nine Nightmares Realm*…” In a state of seclusion, Luo Feng became completely immersed in them.

He could also sense the Chaos Laws manifesting in the adjacent ‘Chaos Ruins’ at any time. Studying various secret techniques while observing the Chaos Laws filled Luo Feng with inspiration. The collision of different secret techniques, coupled with Luo Feng’s extraordinary talent, made his rapid progress only natural.

To cultivate into an Eternal True God in the Primal Universe! To cultivate a perfect divine body in such an environment, and to possess a will reaching the peak of Chaos! There was no doubt about Luo Feng’s talent.

…

Immersed in cultivation, time continued to pass.

Just as Luo Feng was making significant progress in several secret techniques, his increasingly towering divine body suddenly stopped growing one day.

“Buzz~~~”

Far away in the Primal Universe, his miniature universe, which had been absorbing chaotic currents at its limit, suddenly slowed its intake.

Luo Feng’s divine body also trembled, halting his cultivation.

“My divine body is no longer growing?” Luo Feng sensed new divine power accumulating within his True God heart, but it could no longer make his divine body grow. “It has finally reached the limit of the Eternal True God stage.”

“Unknowingly, I have been on the Origin Continent for over 1.2 billion days, more than one Epoch,” Luo Feng mused.

One Epoch on the Origin Continent was a billion days!

Luo Feng had been in seclusion for slightly over one Epoch, and 1.2 billion Epochs had passed in the Primal Universe. His miniature universe’s continuous absorption of energy for so long had finally allowed Luo Feng’s divine body to reach its limit.

“My current divine body height…” With a slight sensation, Luo Feng knew his current height. “It has grown to a height of 18 billion kilometers! Five times the 3.6 billion kilometer limit of an infinite divine body.”

His height was five times greater.

The vastness of his divine power was more than a hundred times greater.

“I’ve reached a height of 18 billion kilometers in the Origin Continent spacetime! I’m even taller than the walls of Huoyang City. The walls of Huoyang City would probably only reach my knees,” Luo Feng thought, “With such a colossal divine body, even those Chaos Masters without ‘infinite divine bodies’ shouldn’t be as tall as me.”

According to the information he had, those who cultivated into Chaos Masters through bloodlines, no matter how special their bloodlines or how powerful their secret techniques, never exceeded 10 billion kilometers in height.

Of course, in terms of divine power quality, comprehension of Chaos Laws, and weapons and treasures, those Chaos Masters far surpassed him.

Even in terms of will techniques!

Will techniques, which were relatively rare on the Origin Continent, were easily obtainable for Chaos Masters. While they might not be as effective as the *Lie Yuan Art*, they had various applications.

Having cultivated to the Chaos Realm, their wills were already incredibly strong! Coupled with will techniques, it would be difficult for Luo Feng to severely injure them with his will alone.

“Compared to Chaos Masters, I am still lacking in many areas,” Luo Feng felt the vast divine power contained within his 18 billion kilometer tall divine body, “Now that my divine body has reached its limit, I can begin full-scale body refinement.”

With a thought, the massive amount of materials stored in the Star Tower flew out. Luo Feng began to melt the materials with great familiarity, precisely controlling the proportions and gradually integrating them into every part of his divine body.

Luo Feng had long been familiar with every step of the first layer of the *Chaos Great Strength Diagram*, ‘Foundation Building’, and had experimented with small amounts of materials. Now, performing full-scale body refinement was naturally smooth.

Days passed.

Refining a treasure as large as 18 billion kilometers was a tedious task, even with a complete understanding of all the steps. With his strong will, Luo Feng was meticulous in inscribing every formation without making any mistakes. Finally, after over three hundred days, he managed to completely finish the first layer of the *Chaos Great Strength Diagram*.

“I’ve finally completed the first layer,” Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief, “The refining materials that I spent ten thousand Universe Sand on are almost completely gone.”

Luo Feng was somewhat rueful.

“Just ‘Foundation Building’ consumed so many materials?” Luo Feng now realized the only downside of having such a large divine body: body refinement was terrifyingly expensive. “I thought I had prepared enough with ten thousand Universe Sand, but it was only barely enough to complete the simplest first layer.”

“How many Universe Sand will I need for the much more complex and expensive second and third layers? A million? Two million?” Luo Feng felt the pressure.

Even someone like Hei Duomo only had a treasure accumulation worth a little over ten thousand Universe Sand.

This time, he was lucky to have the immense wealth from the Heaven and Earth Treasure, the ‘Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower,’ which was just enough to complete the first layer of ‘Foundation Building.’

Luo Feng internally examined his divine body.

Within his towering 18 billion kilometer tall divine body, in addition to the original complex structure, was an extra layer of treasure structure. Dense arrays of secret patterns permeated every drop of blood, integrated into the depths of every bone.

“The cost was high, but the effect is good,” Luo Feng was very satisfied, “It’s time to come out of seclusion.”

With a thought, he stored the Star Tower and activated the formation seals of the underground palace.

Rumble~~~

The underground palace passage opened, and Luo Feng flew out, arriving at his dwelling.

It was night, and a cold wind howled. The entire dwelling was silent. Mo Luosa was not inside.

“After a little over an Epoch of seclusion, it is considered a short seclusion for an Eternal True God,” Luo Feng had decided to seclude himself after his first battle on the Origin Continent, where he was completely overwhelmed in close combat. He decided to compensate for his many shortcomings first.

In a little over an Epoch, Luo Feng had addressed his various deficiencies!

“You’re back quickly enough!” Luo Feng looked up. Thanks to their soul contract, Mo Luosa had immediately and rapidly returned upon his exit.

“Whoosh.”

A black streak of light flew into the dwelling. It was Mo Luosa, carrying a large jar of wine in one hand and a large piece of roasted meat in the other. From afar, Mo Luosa excitedly shouted, “Master, Master, you’ve finally come out of seclusion! I was getting impatient waiting!”
