Luo Feng looked at the Infinite Space Treasure Vault, where even more information about various treasures was displayed.
“I don’t have complete confidence. My own realm is still at the God Emperor stage, yet my mind and will are already trying to break free from the cage,” Luo Feng thought. “So, the 250,000+ reward points might be all the reward points I’ll ever have.”
“I have to reserve enough reward points to use when I reach the half-Chaotic Source level in the future.”
Luo Feng pondered. His current realm is low, and he doesn’t know what he needs most to break free. It would be best to exchange for treasures when he reaches the half-Chaotic Source level.
“I’ll buy a relatively inexpensive one.” Luo Feng scanned the cheaper treasures and immediately locked onto a target!
“Exchange for the secret treasure, Heart of Immortality.” Luo Feng immediately exchanged.
The secret treasure, Heart of Immortality, is indestructible, has infinite vitality, and can bless the body and condense an additional powerful battle body. It is suitable for cultivation in the paths of life and destruction. It requires 43,000 reward points to exchange.
Among items costing under 100,000 reward points, this is the only secret treasure suitable for both life and destruction paths. The weapon secret treasures sold in Rain Ripple City are generally refined by God Emperors. Even if they are God Emperor Perfect level secret treasures, when Luo Feng himself reaches the half-Chaotic Source level, his realm might be stronger than the refiner, so those secret treasures will be of little help.
The secret treasures in the Infinite Space Treasure Vault, judging from their characteristics, are all refined by existences who have broken free from the cage.
After the exchange, Luo Feng’s reward points in the Infinite Space dropped to 211,093.03 points. According to Luo Feng’s cultivation plan, he would wait until he reached the half-Chaotic Source level to exchange again. Inside the Star Tower, in the quiet room of the City Lord’s mansion in Huyang City, Origin Continent.
The Ancestors of both countries would build closed-door cultivation places, but Luo Feng didn’t need them, because the interior of the Star Tower was the safest place.
“Heart of Immortality.” Luo Feng sat cross-legged, looking at the cyan treasure pearl in his hand. The Eye of Creation and Destruction opened in the center of his brows, revealing the endless secret patterns contained in the cyan pearl, which were extremely profound and vast, no less than the remains of a special life form. He vaguely saw a drop of fiery blood, from which all the mysteries of the secret patterns originated.
“This pearl should have been refined with a drop of blood as its core.”
“Judging from the profoundness of that drop of blood, it should be a drop of blood from a world-level Chaotic Source life form, which is why this pearl has endless vitality and is indestructible.” Power originating from a world-level Chaotic Source life form is naturally an inexhaustible source of vitality at the God tier, and being indestructible is normal. “This Heart of Immortality is enough for me to comprehend before breaking free from the cage.” Luo Feng was very satisfied.
The two most suitable secret treasures for him in the Infinite Space Treasure Vault, the Eye of Creation and Destruction and the Heart of Immortality, he had both exchanged for.
Of course, there are also some cultivation aids in the Infinite Space. For example, there are saplings. Planting a tree and cultivating under it can bring moments of inspiration, making one day equivalent to a thousand or ten thousand days of ordinary cultivation, and occasionally even entering a state of enlightenment.
For example, there is the Wisdom Tree, which can analyze all things, research the Great Dao, and assist in one’s own cultivation, which is much stronger than the Eye of Life.
Luo Feng discovered these after his reward points reached over 250,000. “Treasures are infinite, but reward points are limited. I must know how to use my reward points more effectively.” Luo Feng was very calm.
“Heart of Immortality, Eye of Creation and Destruction, Star Tower, from low to high… I can also better understand how creation and destruction combine. Only after understanding how to combine, can I comprehend how to fuse.”
Luo Feng flipped his hand and took out a Chaotic Source Crystal. After consuming a Chaotic Source Crystal, he began to comprehend the dense materials of low-level Chaotic Source life forms. With the Eye of Creation and Destruction, these low-level Chaotic Source life materials had no secrets before Luo Feng and were completely understood.
Because Luo Feng possessed at least 90% of the low-level Chaotic Source life forms that God Emperor early-stage cultivators of the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm used.
So many types allowed Luo Feng to glimpse various possibilities of the paths of life and destruction. “Life and destruction actually have such vast branches?” Luo Feng was somewhat shocked, and even felt a bit lost.
He had once been ambitious, determined to encompass all the mysteries of life and destruction and integrate them into his own Great Dao of Life. But when he truly saw the massive number of mysteries, with various mysteries intertwined and even many being diametrically opposed,
Luo Feng felt somewhat lost and hesitant. Was it possible to completely encompass and perfectly fuse them into one path?
Could he do it?
“The more you understand, the more you realize how high and wide the sky truly is.” Luo Feng smiled!
“That’s what makes it interesting, isn’t it?” Luo Feng’s eyes burned with passion. “This path is infinitely long, meaning I can constantly move forward and climb higher.”
“Then let’s take it step by step!”
“Let’s walk the path of continuous improvement. The process of getting stronger is also fascinating.” Luo Feng instantly calmed his mind. Meals had to be eaten one bite at a time for proper digestion. Luo Feng then began to carefully study these materials, analyzing each one in detail, categorizing some of the secret patterns and mysteries, and slowly absorbing those suitable for his own path.
By the 105th era since returning to the Origin Continent, Luo Feng’s path of life had naturally reached the God Emperor early-stage by pursuing the path of massive life forms.
By the 139th era, the path of destruction had also reached the God Emperor early-stage by pursuing the path of ultimate destruction. After both life and destruction reached the God tier early-stage, Luo Feng slowed down in both areas and focused on ‘Creation and Destruction Fusion.’ Because for him, cultivating the paths of life and destruction was providing the most basic resources for the Great Dao of Creation and Destruction.
Therefore, the direction taken by life and destruction should be determined based on the needs of the ‘Dao of Creation and Destruction.’
“The difficulty of life and destruction reaching the God tier early-stage is 1. If the fusion of creation and destruction is to reach the God tier early-stage, the difficulty is at least 10.” Luo Feng felt the arduousness of the fusion process. The ‘Great Dao of Creation and Destruction’ at the God King Ultimate realm was formed by the fusion of nine branches; this was the seed.
The stronger the seed, the larger and more majestic the tree that grows. Unknowingly, it was already the 269th era, and Luo Feng’s Dao of Creation and Destruction was still plagued by many doubts and had not reached the God tier early-stage. At this time, Emperor Qing had already begun to invite Luo Feng to hunt once again.
“Hunting? I’ll prepare for a little while, and we can set off within one era.” Luo Feng replied to Emperor Qing’s invitation. Emperor Qing naturally had no objections.
His exit meant that he was ready to hunt, but it didn’t mean that Luo Feng was also fully prepared. Being able to set off within one era was already fast enough on Luo Feng’s side.
Whoosh. On the Origin Continent side, Luo Feng carried a ‘perfect divine body’ with a full 390 times the energy reserve and the storage secret treasure Mirage Labyrinth, and began his return journey.
As for the ‘Heart of Immortality’ exchanged in the Infinite Space, Luo Feng did not carry it. His own strength was still relatively weak, and carrying too powerful a secret treasure might attract trouble. Furthermore, going out hunting repeatedly while weak made it easy to die.
It would be much safer to bring the Heart of Immortality when he could match a God Emperor Perfect-level low-level Chaotic Source life form. By then, his strength might be close to that of the three Palace Masters, and even if he couldn’t defeat them, he would be able to protect himself. “Absorbing energy is still faster on the Origin Continent side with the help of the miniature universe,” Luo Feng finally returned to Rain Ripple City after spending a lot of time carrying a body with a huge energy reserve.
Going back and forth between the Origin Continent and the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.
On the one hand, he could send many resources to the Origin Continent, which he could observe with the Eye of Creation and Destruction. On the other hand, he could also have the energy reserves absorbed by the Origin Continent sent over. All he had to pay was the travel fee.
“Let’s go, let’s set off.”
Both sides were well prepared, and Emperor Qing and Luo Feng began their second hunt as a small team. “What?”
“You’ve broken through?” Emperor Qing was shocked by Luo Feng’s power when he made a move while hunting the first low-level Chaotic Source life form.
Luo Feng killing his prey one-on-one was not surprising. But it was so easy, so casual, that Emperor Qing was a little dazed. “Have you reached the God Emperor mid-stage?” Emperor Qing looked at Luo Feng in disbelief.
The power Luo Feng had just displayed was no less than Emperor Qing using his array map. Emperor Qing had worked hard for so long and had already stepped into the God Emperor mid-stage with one foot, but the other foot was still stuck outside.
Breaking through seemed to be just a little bit away, but that little bit had troubled him for a long time. Luo Feng? He had only been in Rain Ripple City for a few hundred eras, and he was already at the God Emperor mid-stage?
“No.” Luo Feng shook his head and explained, “I cultivate the two Great Daos of Life and Destruction. Now that both Great Daos have reached the God Emperor early-stage, the power they unleash together is so strong.”
“Cultivating two Great Daos and still being able to coordinate them so exquisitely.” Emperor Qing completely understood. Those who cultivate two Daos are generally much stronger, but for the two Daos of the God Emperor early-stage to be comparable to a normal God Emperor mid-stage cultivator, the two Daos must be coordinated well enough. If they are not well coordinated, the strength improvement is limited.
Luo Feng had been comprehending the Dao of Creation and Destruction for so long and studying fusion methods, so their coordination was naturally very exquisite. “I always thought that I would need to help you a little when you first came to the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, Brother Luo Feng, but who would have thought that on the second hunt, you would be helping me instead.” Emperor Qing shook his head.
“The distribution of loot in our team also needs to be renegotiated.” “I don’t have any secret treasures, just this pair of gloves.” Luo Feng shook his head, “My strength is only slightly stronger than Brother Emperor Qing.”
Emperor Qing had been wandering around Rain Ripple City for a long time and was richer, and his secret treasure array map made up for some of Emperor Qing’s realm deficiencies. Emperor Qing looked at Luo Feng and smiled, “Alright, the next time we come out hunting, we will need to renegotiate the distribution ratio.”
He knew in his heart that even if he used the secret treasure array map to explode and achieve a power close to Luo Feng’s, Luo Feng had multiple clones, and the Life and Destruction paths were terrifying in power. During hunting, Luo Feng’s contribution had now greatly surpassed his, Emperor Qing’s. “We’ll renegotiate the ratio next time, but when the gap is even larger, we’ll probably have to separate,” Emperor Qing understood this.
He was still useful in the team now, and his array could still play a big role in hunting, so getting 30% of the loot wasn’t taking advantage of him.
But if Luo Feng’s strength were to improve further in the future, and Emperor Qing couldn’t play a role at all, there would be no meaning in teaming up. “Luo Feng should have reached the God Emperor early-stage a long time ago. Now it’s the two paths, and all of them being God Emperor early-stage is what caused such a transformation,” Emperor Qing thought, “If he wants to greatly improve his strength, it will probably take a long time, so there’s no need to think too much for now.”
He felt very complicated throughout this second hunt, as he had become the support. This hunt was unprecedentedly smooth, and they didn’t encounter any danger. They stopped after hunting nine God Emperor early-stage low-level Chaotic Source life forms.
“Hunting nine heads is the limit for us,” Emperor Qing said, “The risk will increase dramatically the further we go, and we might even be targeted by a God Emperor Perfect-level low-level Chaotic Source life form.” “Okay, then let’s return.” Luo Feng was very obedient. Although he was stronger now, Emperor Qing had much more hunting experience than him. Luo Feng felt that even just based on the other party’s seasoned experience, splitting the loot evenly was appropriate.
