**Chapter 180: Meeting the Master**

Within the ancient Flamewind Empire, in the capital city of Chu, stood the Imperial Chu Palace.

Inside a grand and ancient hall, a towering figure opened his eyes. He murmured to himself, “To thoroughly comprehend a complete Origin Great Dao… it is far too difficult. No wonder the ‘Enlightened Ones’ lineage holds the most esteemed position.”

Ceasing his cultivation, Emperor Chu glanced around. He could perceive the workings of all surrounding laws without exception, and he also detected a shift within one of the many strands of karma entwined with his being.

The reason he focused on this particular karmic thread was due to its profound entanglement. It was the karma he shared with his personal disciple, Luo Feng!

In the Origin Continent, the relationship between master and disciple was no less significant than that of blood relatives; the entanglement of karma was therefore immense.

“Luo Feng… he has broken through?” Emperor Chu’s face revealed a smile. He could sense that the other end of their karmic entanglement, ‘Luo Feng,’ had grown significantly stronger. “From the karmic connection, he is far more powerful than before, comparable to a God-King of the second realm.”

Naturally, Emperor Chu was pleased that his disciple had become so powerful.

“Luo Feng, come and see me immediately,” Emperor Chu transmitted his voice through the karmic connection.

“Yes, Master,” Luo Feng responded through the same karmic link. In the past, Luo Feng had not possessed the ability to transmit his voice through karma, but after becoming a God-King, his control over the laws governing the universe had strengthened significantly, deepening his understanding of karma.

Soon, Luo Feng arrived at the Imperial Chu Palace.

“Master,” Luo Feng said respectfully as he entered the main hall, bowing immediately.

This clone of his contained one-thousandth of the World Body’s energy reserves, and merely with this clone, he could be considered invincible among God-Kings of the first realm.

“The gap between me and Master is still vast.” Luo Feng sensed it even more clearly this time. In his perception, his Master, Emperor Chu, was like an embodiment of the complete Dao of Destruction, an unshakeable, boundless world, and every action exuded infinite destructive power.

While this clone of Luo Feng possessed greater life-saving abilities than even the Snow Realm Ancestor, Luo Feng sensed that if his Master were to attack, this clone would likely be completely annihilated within two or three moves.

“Excellent!” Emperor Chu’s eyes gleamed with a dark light, as he observed his disciple from every conceivable angle. He praised, “Luo Feng, I did not expect that you would cultivate the Great Dao of Life and the Great Dao of Matter to such profound levels so soon after becoming a God-King. Furthermore, you’ve combined the two with exceptional skill, resulting in such a powerful physical body.”

“Master overpraises me,” Luo Feng said, feeling a hint of shame.

He had not cultivated the Great Dao of Matter.

What he had truly cultivated simultaneously was the Great Dao of Life and the Great Dao of Destruction.

“No need to be modest,” Emperor Chu said admiringly, “In the entire Origin Continent, there are only a handful who achieve invincibility in the first realm of God-Kings without relying on external forces! And you have reached this stage as soon as you became a God-King… Haha, no amount of praise is excessive!”

“What does Master think of this body of mine? What should I pay attention to in the future when facing formidable enemies?” Luo Feng inquired, knowing that his master possessed far more knowledge and experience than he did.

“Your body is resilient, dense, and exudes the mysteries of the ‘Great Dao of Matter,'” Emperor Chu stated, “Furthermore, the Great Dao of Life is also integrated within. I have a feeling… that even if I unleash a single attack with all my strength to obliterate you, this body of yours could still recover from the void, its vitality is exceedingly strong.”

“I fear I would have to unleash several attacks in succession, each shattering the cage’s membrane and annihilating everything, before I could completely eradicate this physical body of yours,” Emperor Chu said, “Below the level of Emperor Lords, I fear no one could erode your flesh.”

Luo Feng understood.

Both the Great Dao of Life and the Great Dao of Matter are difficult to extinguish. When combined, their effects naturally amplify.

However, the World Body places too much strain on the mind. Ordinarily, he couldn’t perform intricate techniques. Only when controlling the clone containing ‘one-thousandth’ of the reserves could Luo Feng execute refined techniques.

“I know that you also excel in the art of clones,” Emperor Chu smiled, “At your current stage, even if Emperor Lords and Monarchs wish to kill you, they must use their true bodies to instantly destroy one of your clones, giving your other clones enough time to perform the art of reincarnation.”

Luo Feng knew, however, that his life-saving capabilities were even more remarkable than his Master imagined.

The World Body’s true form possessed a thousand times the energy reserves of the clone! Even if Emperor Lords and Monarchs were powerful, it would still take them some time to destroy it… Of course, it would only consume slightly more time.

“Looking at the entire Origin Continent, there are only four who can truly kill you,” Emperor Chu stated.

“Which four?” Luo Feng asked.

“The two Ancestors, the Ancestor of the Eastern Territories, and Emperor Qing,” Emperor Chu said, “They have all transcended the ultimate realm of God-Kings.”

Luo Feng’s heart trembled. In the past, his Master had not spoken in detail about the most supreme levels of power in the Origin Continent, but this time, there was no concealment.

Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng, “Now that you have cultivated to your current level, you should understand the truly terrifying existences of the Origin Continent.”

“These four are all transcendent, you won’t provoke them anytime soon,” Emperor Chu smiled, “The day you can provoke them, the gap between you and them will probably be small.”

Luo Feng was startled, only to find Emperor Chu looking at him with a smile, “Have confidence, perhaps one day you can be stronger than the two Ancestors. As cultivators, how can you lack confidence?”

“Yes,” Luo Feng responded.

“Regardless, you should still avoid the Emperor Lords and Monarchs,” Emperor Chu said, “Especially those who cultivate the Primal Chaos bloodline, they are constantly polluted by Primal Chaos blood, and their tempers are not good.”

“Disciple understands,” Luo Feng responded. The Thunder Ancient Kingdom even had a Monarch-level powerhouse who was half out of control. Although other Emperor Lords and Monarchs were not out of control, their vile nature was entirely understandable.

Luo Feng had already witnessed Chu Yuanhou’s irritability. “The path of cultivation is difficult, and you will feel it even more clearly when you become a God-King of the second realm,” Emperor Chu said, “It’s like how easily one can comprehend ten basic laws, but to fuse those ten laws into one and comprehend the ‘Chaos Law’ is many times more difficult. The same applies to comprehending several branches of the Great Dao easily, but to perfectly fuse them into one… to comprehend a complete Great Dao, is extremely difficult.”

“Even I cannot do it,” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng.

“The Emperor Lords and Monarchs are all God-King ultimate realm life forms, but almost all of them rely on external forces,” Emperor Chu said, “The ones who have truly comprehended a complete Origin Great Dao… in this current cycle of the Origin Continent, only Emperor Qing and the Lord of Myriad Realms have achieved it.”

Luo Feng nodded.

The two Ancestors and the Eastern Territories Ancestor who had transcended the God-King ultimate realm were all from previous cycles.

Emperor Qing was indeed formidable. As one of the two unparalleled powerhouses in the current era who had comprehended a complete Origin Great Dao, he had even surpassed the ultimate realm in this era. No wonder he was so transcendent among the thirteen Emperor Lords.

“There are three paths to advance to the God-King ultimate realm in terms of life level,” Emperor Chu carefully explained to his disciple.

“The first path is to comprehend a complete Origin Great Dao! This path is the most difficult, and Emperor Qing and the Lord of Myriad Realms followed this path.”

“The second path is the one your master is taking. By relying on a powerful inheritance, and comprehending the ‘ultimate realm Life Form Secret Technique’ at the peak of the second realm of God-Kings. With this secret technique, supplemented by precious Primal Chaos materials, one can completely elevate their life to the God-King ultimate realm level. After the life transformation, every action will possess endless power.”

“The next option is the Primal Chaos bloodline, excavating the potential of the Primal Chaos bloodline to transform one’s life form to the God-King ultimate realm! This path is relatively easier and has a higher upper limit, but has significant drawbacks,” Emperor Chu said.

Luo Feng understood.

All three paths allow one’s essential life form to reach the ultimate realm.

Even with the path his Master was taking, Luo Feng could recognize the difficulty. First, one must possess an inheritance that records the ‘ultimate realm Life Form Secret Technique,’ and comprehend a secret technique at the ultimate realm level at the God-King second realm! Secondly, it requires a supply of precious resources to succeed.

“In terms of strength, we Emperor Lords and Monarchs are weaker than those like the ‘Lord of Myriad Realms’ who have comprehended a complete Great Dao, as their secret techniques are more refined,” Emperor Chu laughed, “However, we have powerful weapons and treasures bestowed by the Ancestors, and with these treasures, we are naturally sufficient to contend against the Lord of Myriad Realms, and contend against that World Beast.”

Luo Feng understood.

The thirteen Emperor Lords of the Flamewind royal family, the weakest are at the ‘World Beast’ level! And they are skilled in different abilities, when they cooperate with each other, they become even more terrifying.

Then there was Emperor Ming, Emperor Fu, and Emperor Qing, each more dazzling than the last.

Of course, behind the royal family, there was also the Flamewind Ancestor, who does not participate in the struggles of the Origin Continent.

“This is the strength of the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom royal family.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. No wonder the two royal families occupy the majority of resources. The strength of the two royal families is overwhelming in the Origin Continent.

Even the Lord of Myriad Realms and the World Beasts of the Timber Country must find ways to befriend the two ancient kingdoms. The Eastern Territories can only shrink into a corner of the continent.

“The Monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom are also terrifying,” Emperor Chu said, “Because the Thunder Ancestor himself took the path of the Primal Chaos bloodline, all of the Monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom cultivate the Primal Chaos bloodline, and the strength they can display… is more troublesome and terrifying than our Flamewind Ancient Kingdom’s Emperor Lords who cultivate the Primal Chaos bloodline.”

“Apart from the two great ancient kingdoms, there are also scattered God-Kings,” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng, “The other beings of the Origin Continent make up the vast majority, and the number of God-Kings in the second realm they have nurtured is far more than our royal family.”

Luo Feng naturally understood. The Reincarnation Tower had quite a few God-Kings in the second realm.

“Among this group of God-Kings in the second realm, there are also some with extraordinary talent. Their talent may even surpass your master,” Emperor Chu said, “They have cultivated multiple Great Daos simultaneously, and cultivated unique inheritances. Even if their essential life has not crossed over, they can still be comparable to us by relying on numerous powerful secret techniques…”

“These scattered God-Kings in the second realm also need to cultivate, they also want to become stronger, and they also want to reach the ultimate realm. Naturally, they will compete for resources with our two royal families,” Emperor Chu laughed, “They want to compete, and the royal family also wants to compete, so there will naturally be conflicts, and there will be hatred.”

“In the Origin Continent, there are also some foreign races stirring up trouble in the dark,” Emperor Chu shook his head, “Luo Feng, as your strength grows stronger, you must be cautious in everything you do. Don’t be foolishly used without even realizing it.”

With that, Emperor Chu reached out his hand, and a streak of light flew toward Luo Feng.

After touching Luo Feng, numerous pieces of information were transmitted over.

Luo Feng was shocked.

Information about the foreign races in the dark, information about some terrifying existences in the Origin Continent, information about numerous treasure lands, information about some opportunities left behind by ‘Yuan’, detailed information about numerous terrifying powerhouses…

Apart from the extremely limited descriptions of the four who had ‘transcended the God-King ultimate realm’—Emperor Qing, the Eastern Territories Ancestor, and the two Ancestors—all other powerhouses were recorded in detail, even some imprisoned, crazy existences were recorded.

Each piece of information would have been extremely expensive to buy, but now all of it was given to Luo Feng.

“Thank you, Master,” Luo Feng said gratefully.

“I am your Master,” Emperor Chu said, “Also, in the Origin Continent, there are some God-Kings who cultivate the ‘Origin Great Dao of Karma’, and they have a deeper control over karma. They can also use karma to determine that your life has transformed. Therefore, the news of your becoming a God-King… will spread before long! You must be prepared.”
