On the third day in Chengfeng City, Luo Feng arrived at Emperor Bosiu’s cavern abode. Bosiu, Bai Yin, Chi, and Luo Feng together welcomed City Lord Feng Qiao and his group of peak-level experts.
“City Lord!” Emperor Bosiu greeted with a smile.
City Lord Feng Qiao, who resembled a rock giant, observed Luo Feng and said with a smile, “So this is Emperor Luo Feng.”
“To gather the resources for this transaction, we haven’t rested much over the past two or three days,” Feng Qiao explained. “The total value of the transaction is 300 billion Hunyuan Crystals, along with a significant amount of bloodlines and military merits. Even for an influential force like ours, led by peak Emperor Feng Qiao, it took two or three days to prepare.”
“You’ve worked hard, City Lord!” Luo Feng replied with a smile.

City Lord Feng Qiao carefully observed the black-clad, black-haired man. On the surface, he didn’t seem like a schemer, but Feng Qiao knew well that one couldn’t judge a cultivator by appearances.
“We’ve just learned some news about Emperor Luo Feng,” City Lord Feng Qiao exclaimed in admiration. “In just over two thousand epochs, he grew from an ordinary Emperor in Yulan City of the Nine River Saint Realm to the peak level! Truly remarkable!”
Such a growth rate was exceptionally rare even in the Dark Saint Realm. Other peak-level experts also expressed their admiration, all carefully observing Luo Feng and his reactions. They were somewhat curious whether Emperor Luo Feng’s growth over two thousand epochs was genuine or a deliberate disguise.
Bosiu interjected, “Let’s finish the main business first.”
“Good, let’s proceed with the transaction!” City Lord Feng Qiao nodded.
Luo Feng also nodded, then flipped his hand to reveal a storage bracelet, releasing its seal and allowing the guests present to inspect it.

City Lord Feng Qiao and his group’s minds permeated the storage bracelet, probing the countless, densely packed corpses of low-grade Hunyuan creatures stored within. They couldn’t help but be astonished. “Seeing these with my own eyes is still quite exhilarating!” Feng Qiao exclaimed. “To successfully harvest hundreds of thousands of low-grade Hunyuan creature corpses in one go! Truly impressive, truly impressive!”
City Lord Feng Qiao then declared, “We will first provide Brother Luo Feng with ten million military merits, along with the auxiliary treasures Brother Luo Feng purchased, various Hunyuan bloodlines, and their corresponding materials, plus 512 billion Deep Army Origin Crystals. As for the remaining twenty million military merits Brother Luo Feng has reserved, we estimate we will gather all of them within a thousand epochs and deliver them then.”
Luo Feng nodded.

Each ten million military merits required one trillion Hunyuan Crystals. This meant he would need to prepare another twenty-six trillion Hunyuan Crystals for the future handover, but that was a matter for later.
“The Hunyuan bloodlines and auxiliary cultivation treasures I need should be sent to Transference Sacred Mountain,” Luo Feng stated, as his clone was already waiting there.
City Lord Feng Qiao smiled slightly. “Then they will be sent to Transference Sacred Mountain!”
Luo Feng’s clone was seated cross-legged by a dimly lit lake, patiently waiting. When City Lord Feng Qiao in Chengfeng City stated that the items would be sent immediately, Luo Feng’s clone saw a spaceship flying in the distance. In just a few breaths, it landed beside the mountain-top lake.
“Emperor Luo Feng!” Three peak-level experts emerged from the group. They were a small team, specifically responsible for escort. They had just exchanged high-grade Hunyuan bloodlines and corresponding materials from a large Hunyuan Hall. Their combined strength was enough to handle most dangers in the Dark Saint Realm. After all, it was cargo worth over 600 billion Hunyuan Crystals; they could not afford to be negligent.
“Thank you for your trouble, sirs!” Luo Feng stood up to greet them. Confirmation of the handover was then made between Chengfeng City and Transference Sacred Mountain. After Luo Feng received the items, he briefly scanned them with his mind to confirm everything was correct, then waved his hand.
Luo Feng immediately leaped into the nearby teleportation lake, locking onto the spatial coordinates of the Origin Continent in the Source World, and returned at once.

Inside a Star Tower within a quiet room of the Huyang City Lord’s Mansion on the Origin Continent, Luo Feng had gathered all the low-grade Hunyuan bloodlines related to the entire world group and life destruction, centered around the Dark Saint Realm. He had also collected a total of 73 types of high-grade Hunyuan bloodlines that combined creation and destruction.
In the center of this layer of the Star Tower, all the Hunyuan bloodlines were neatly arranged, each accompanied by ten sets of corresponding materials. Low-grade Hunyuan bloodlines were indeed more finely categorized (Early Emperor, Mid Emperor, Late Emperor, Perfected Emperor, Transcendent level), whereas high-grade Hunyuan bloodlines had much coarser classifications.
“All creation and destruction type bloodlines are at most a combination of creation and destruction, never a fusion of them!” Luo Feng gently shook his head. Innate Hunyuan creatures birthed bloodlines that contained the profound mysteries of various Great Daos—be it time, space, life, darkness, or destruction. These were the most primordial and pure Daos; there had never been a naturally occurring fused Dao. This was also why the difficulty of comprehending fused Daos was exceptionally high.
“I hope I can find a way to break through my bottleneck from these Hunyuan bloodlines.” Luo Feng opened his Eye of Creation and Destruction on his brow and began observing carefully. Learning from innate Hunyuan bloodlines and the bodies of Hunyuan creatures was the path of cultivators.
*Crunch!* Luo Feng flipped his hand and took out a red fruit. He consumed it in a few bites, and an invisible energy nourished his soul. His consciousness and thought speed surged a hundredfold, while also feeling incredibly ethereal and comfortable. With Luo Feng’s current wealth, he could afford to consume these common auxiliary treasures long-term.

“Still no breakthrough!”
It was no use. With Luo Feng’s current realm and the aid of the secret treasure, the Eye of Creation and Destruction, he could completely see through even transcendent-grade Hunyuan bloodlines. Although he hadn’t studied them in detail, a quick glance was enough for Luo Feng to realize that none of the Hunyuan bloodlines contained a method for controlling a colossal physical body. He was somewhat disheartened that none of the low-grade Hunyuan bloodlines offered a solution for “controlling a massive physical body.” He had anticipated that his semi-Hunyuan Creation and Destruction Dao body would be far more immense than even low-grade Hunyuan creatures, so perhaps it was normal not to find the answer among them.
“Now, for the high-grade Hunyuan bloodlines!” Luo Feng looked at the 73 types of high-grade Hunyuan bloodlines, focusing on the one with the largest physique. This particular high-grade Hunyuan bloodline was carefully preserved, its crystalline, crimson liquid faintly shimmering with a strange phenomenon, as if a fiery red great bird was spreading its wings on its surface, ready to take flight. “This is my first time observing high-grade Hunyuan bloodlines,” he mused. “The leap from low-grade to high-grade Hunyuan life is an unprecedented qualitative change. Billions or even trillions of low-grade Hunyuan creatures would simply be fodder before a high-grade one!” In the face of such a vast difference, sheer numbers became meaningless.
*Buzz!*
Luo Feng’s Eye of Creation and Destruction on his brow observed the high-grade Hunyuan bloodline. This Hunyuan bloodline possessed an incredibly potent vitality. Its creation-aspect mysteries accounted for about 50%, its destruction-aspect mysteries about 30%, and the remainder comprised various other mysteries like “matter.”
“The observation difficulty is far too high!” Luo Feng frowned slightly. “Even with my Eye of Creation and Destruction, there are still some areas I can’t discern clearly.” With the aid of the Eye of Creation and Destruction, Luo Feng’s observational abilities were comparable to those of a normal high-grade Hunyuan creature. Even high-grade Hunyuan creatures couldn’t fully perceive all the mysteries of another’s high-grade Hunyuan bloodline. Seeing the shallow and mid-level mysteries was already good; the deepest levels were invisibly obscured.
“High-grade Hunyuan bloodlines are still more suitable for my comprehension. The bloody scale from the Star Tower is too high-level; I can only observe its shallowest outer layers… (The Eye of Creation and Destruction itself is a World-Creating Hunyuan creature, so its level is still considered high). With Luo Feng’s current realm, he could attempt to comprehend high-grade Hunyuan bloodlines and didn’t find it impossibly difficult. Historically, there have been cultivators who comprehended high-grade Hunyuan bloodlines and then achieved ultimate bloodline awakening, breaking free from their cages!” Luo Feng thought, “If they can achieve ultimate awakening, then it’s normal for me to comprehend parts of these bloodlines, perhaps even permanently.”
Luo Feng patiently continued his comprehension, and time passed day by day.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, Luo Feng’s Eye of Creation and Destruction, observing a particular set of mysteries, saw a system for controlling a massive physical body with one’s mind and consciousness—something he had yearned for.
“I found it, finally found it!” Luo Feng was incredibly excited.
Clearly, high-grade Hunyuan creatures possessed this, but one needed to painstakingly search for the right direction.
“This high-grade Hunyuan bloodline is called ‘Shadow of Heavenly Flame,’ and its physique is extremely vast!” Luo Feng’s heart stirred. High-grade Hunyuan creatures generally had enormous bodies, but their sizes still varied. Luo Feng quickly scanned the other high-grade Hunyuan bloodlines, spending over a hundred days roughly examining them to find similar mysteries regarding mind-consciousness control over a vast physical body. “Among these 73 types of high-grade Hunyuan bloodlines, only three contained the mystery of ‘mind-consciousness control over a massive physical body,’ and all three belonged to high-grade Hunyuan creatures with exceptionally large physiques!” Luo Feng smiled.
With these three high-grade Hunyuan bloodlines as reference and guide, he now had hope of breaking through his bottleneck! Fortunately, three of the high-grade Hunyuan bloodlines he purchased contained the mysteries of mind-consciousness control over the physical body. If he hadn’t been able to acquire them, he didn’t know how long he would have had to grope in the dark on his own. Such was cultivation: when an innate Hunyuan creature unveiled the path ahead, following it became much easier. However, not every bottleneck could be resolved by finding a path from an innate Hunyuan creature.
“These three high-grade Hunyuan creatures are named Shadow of Heavenly Flame, Nether Prison Disaster Beast, and Nine-Headed Chaos Beast. Among creatures of the same level, their bloodlines are known for exceptionally massive physiques!”
“Study them one by one!” Luo Feng continued to research the Shadow of Heavenly Flame’s high-grade Hunyuan bloodline. The Shadow of Heavenly Flame was an avian creature. Its sheer enormity made it seem like an endless celestial fire, impossible to discern its full form. When it spread its wings, its shadow alone heralded infinite disaster.
Mind-consciousness control over a massive physical body!
Luo Feng’s Eye of Creation and Destruction observed meticulously. As he studied, Luo Feng encountered obstacles. This was because the mysteries contained within the bloodline were not isolated; instead, countless mysteries intertwined. To comprehend the mind-consciousness control over a massive physical body, Luo Feng needed to untangle these mysteries. Fortunately, the high-grade Hunyuan bloodlines he purchased primarily combined creation and destruction, allowing Luo Feng to untangle most of them.
As time passed, the mysteries of mind-consciousness control over a massive physical body gradually revealed themselves. “So this is how the Shadow of Heavenly Flame controls its massive body!” Although Luo Feng only perceived a small portion, he understood the fundamental principle.
