Luo Feng sat cross-legged in this section of Star Tower, observing the Primal Chaos bloodline of ‘Heavenly Fire Shadow’ with his Eye of Life and Death. As he watched, he exclaimed, “How could I not have thought of this before?”

“Given my mastery of the path of life, every life unit contains infinite spirituality and can generate self-awareness,” Luo Feng thought. “With the immense size of a half-Primal Chaos Life-Death Body, the number of life units it possesses is immeasurable. Theoretically, a half-Primal Chaos Life-Death Body’s mass is far greater than that of a primal universe, resembling the form of some high-level Primal Chaos life forms to a certain extent. Of course, while the form is grand, there’s still a gap in life essence. But with such a massive form, the number of fundamental life units is billions of times more than the dust particles in a primal universe. Since every single life unit can generate its own awareness, it’s clear how many sub-consciousnesses are produced by a half-Primal Chaos Life-Death Body. These countless sub-consciousnesses, sharing the same memory, naturally merge, converging into Luo Feng’s complete and incredibly vast mind and consciousness!”

“The life form of my theoretical ‘half-Primal Chaos Life-Death Path’ is immeasurably more complex than a primal universe.”

“These myriad sub-consciousnesses, though seemingly unified in memory, actually originate from different parts of the life form, and their instincts will have varying tendencies.”

“Some sub-consciousnesses prefer contemplation.”

“Some enjoy combat.”

“Some prefer slumber.”

“Some favor joyous emotions.”

“Some are drawn to anger.”

“Some intensely dislike anger.”

“When all these sub-consciousnesses unify, there’s a significant loss, potentially ninety percent or more.”

Luo Feng understood this point.

It’s like how everyone possesses intelligence. But an army of ten thousand, an army of a hundred thousand, or an army of a billion—the larger the number, the more difficult the army is to command.

The sheer number of Luo Feng’s sub-consciousnesses was so vast that even his current realm made it difficult to quantify. Not all of these sub-consciousnesses enjoyed combat, nor did they all enjoy cultivation.

Some simply preferred immense ease. Some enjoyed absorbing energy to continuously generate more life units. Others preferred to eliminate weaker life units.

The massive body, based on the Life-Death Path, was constantly eliminating weaker life units and nurturing new ones.

“If my body were smaller, given my current realm, it would be much easier to control.”

“However, I pursue an extremely vast body size, so naturally, I encounter this bottleneck.”

Any super-massive life form in the cultivator camp would face this challenge.

Without resolving this issue, such a large body type cannot be controlled.

“The mind’s control over the physical body is essentially about establishing a ‘mind-consciousness system’ to truly unify sub-consciousnesses more efficiently and reduce loss,” Luo Feng thought. “Reducing some of that loss would allow the complete mind-consciousness formed to be ten times, or even more, powerful.”

Luo Feng continued to observe with his Eye of Life and Death. He clearly understood that his Life-Death Path, in the late God-Emperor stage, had reached a bottleneck and was still quite far from perfection. This gap was due to the absence of a ‘mind-consciousness system.’ Only by integrating this vast mind-consciousness system could his Life-Death Path truly reach the half-Primal Chaos level!

“The principle is simple, but the mind-consciousness system is incredibly vast and complex. As I observed the Primal Chaos bloodline of ‘Heavenly Fire Shadow,’ the intricacies of its mind-consciousness system were abundant. At my level, there are billions of layers of consciousness networks spread throughout my body, governing all sub-consciousnesses from different planes. This consciousness network is something I naturally possess, having cultivated to this realm. This network is already quite perfect; it’s sufficient if I don’t pursue an extremely massive body. To significantly enhance it beyond this foundation, the difficulty is unimaginable.”

“One problematic aspect is that my Eye of Life and Death cannot fully discern the deeper mysteries of a high-level Primal Chaos bloodline,” Luo Feng frowned. The mind-consciousness system he observed was incomplete, lacking its deepest core. “Relying solely on these incomplete parts to perfect the mind-consciousness system would take an extremely long time,” Luo Feng realized. “It could be hundreds of millions of epochs, or even hundreds of billions.”

“I must find a way to clearly see the complete high-level Primal Chaos bloodline!” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. “Right, there’s a treasure in the Infinite Space that can help me. The reward points I’ve accumulated on the lake island in Infinite Space—it’s time to use them.”

Luo Feng sat cross-legged. “My accumulated reward points—it’s time to use them at this critical juncture.” Luo Feng was extremely familiar with the Infinite Space treasury and, without hesitation, immediately redeemed one of the needed treasures.

“Redeem the Book of Wisdom!” Luo Feng promptly redeemed the secret treasure, ‘Book of Wisdom,’ which required 2,000,000 reward points.

This was a precious book crafted from parts of a Primal Chaos Ancestor’s body, its value far exceeding that of the Eye of Life and Death. It could analyze all things, study the Great Path, and aid in one’s cultivation. The Eye of Life and Death primarily focused on observing the ‘vitality’ and ‘destructive weaknesses’ of all things, making it relatively less adept at observing Primal Chaos bloodlines.

The Book of Wisdom excelled at studying the bodily materials of Primal Chaos life forms and analyzing Primal Chaos bloodlines. Its capabilities in this regard were naturally far superior to the Eye of Life and Death.

The Book of Wisdom was also forbidden from being taken out of the source world.

“Reminder, Trial Taker: After redemption, you can use the Book of Wisdom permanently. However, should the Trial Taker die, the Book of Wisdom will automatically return to Infinite Space. Please confirm if you still wish to redeem it.”

“Redeem!” Luo Feng was already experienced in this.

“Redemption successful! Trial Taker Luo Feng, this is the ninth redemption of the ‘Book of Wisdom.’ Among the previous eight redeemers, three have transcended the cage and become high-level Primal Chaos life forms.”

Luo Feng smiled.

The proportion of Book of Wisdom redeemers who transcended the cage was significantly higher than those who redeemed the Eye of Life and Death. Furthermore, there was no mention of the three high-level Primal Chaos life forms who redeemed the Book of Wisdom having died; they should still be alive. Yet, even while alive, they returned the Book of Wisdom to Infinite Space.

“I only have 1,109,303 reward points left,” Luo Feng sighed slightly. His long-saved Infinite Space reward points were finally spent.

“Redeeming this Book of Wisdom was worth it.”

Luo Feng had felt the urge to redeem the Book of Wisdom when he realized that studying Primal Chaos bloodlines and materials was most beneficial to his cultivation of the Great Path. But he had always held back. Even when he hit a bottleneck, he continued to resist, until he discovered that his Eye of Life and Death couldn’t fully discern a ‘high-level Primal Chaos bloodline.’ It was only then that Luo Feng spent the 2,000,000 reward points, using them precisely where they were most needed. This was that critical moment!

In a quiet room within the Huyang City Lord’s Estate on the Origin Continent, inside Star Tower.

Luo Feng looked at the black book in his hand. It appeared ordinary, but its price of 2,000,000 reward points attested to its value. As an invisible power permeated it, Luo Feng understood how to use it.

“Let’s try it!”

With a thought, Luo Feng activated the book.

An invisible wave from the book enveloped the high-level Primal Chaos bloodline of ‘Heavenly Fire Shadow,’ and in just an instant, the analysis was complete.

Luo Feng was astonished. He opened the cover of the black book and saw the pages within.

The pages were crystal clear, subtly containing countless spatial layers.

Luo Feng looked closer and saw layers of profound secret patterns, like a great tree, permeating through the spatial layers of the pages.

This great tree seemed alive, slowly changing.

Everything was incredibly clear before Luo Feng’s eyes.

“This is the complete picture of a high-level Primal Chaos bloodline! It exists simultaneously across numerous spatial layers and constantly changes along the timeline. To fully comprehend its entirety, one must study it separately from different spatial layers and different time periods. Of course, even with the complete picture laid out, it remains incredibly profound. It’s like a profound book: even if every word is translated into a known language, grasping the entire book remains arduous.”

Luo Feng’s Eye of Life and Death opened. Under its gaze, he instantly discovered the vitality nodes and destructive weaknesses within the originally immensely complex secret pattern. With these many crucial ‘nodes’ revealed, Luo Feng’s understanding of the secret pattern became much more profound.

“The Book of Wisdom thoroughly analyzes the Primal Chaos bloodline.”

“The Eye of Life and Death can observe many crucial nodes within the bloodline’s secret pattern. Combining the two vastly increases my comprehension efficiency.”

Of course, the Book of Wisdom’s value was far greater. Without it, the ‘deeper parts’ of a high-level Primal Chaos bloodline would be impossible to discern. Now, however, they were completely unveiled before Luo Feng, without the slightest concealment.

“Let’s begin,” Luo Feng said calmly, settling down to study the three high-level Primal Chaos bloodlines that contained mind-consciousness systems: ‘Heavenly Fire Shadow,’ ‘Abyssal Prison Calamity,’ and ‘Nine-Headed Chaos Beast.’

Luo Feng was temporarily residing in the grotto-mansion of his friend, God-Emperor Boxiu, in Chengfeng City. In fact, God-Emperor Baiyin and God-Emperor Chizheng were also staying there.

“My energy reserves are too low,” Luo Feng frowned slightly. His body’s energy reserves had just barely exceeded 4,000 times that of a perfect divine body. “I need more energy reserves to test my mind-consciousness system.”

During the process of comprehending the mind-consciousness system, repeated practical application was naturally required. Only through practice could the efficacy and profundity of the mind-consciousness system be proven.

Luo Feng’s cultivation time was short, so his energy reserves were not extensive.

“Brother Boxiu,” Luo Feng immediately sent a message to him.

“What is it?” God-Emperor Boxiu was very enthusiastic; the three of them were quite willing to assist Luo Feng now.

“I need to quickly increase my energy reserves,” Luo Feng messaged. “Do you have any good methods?”

“The best method, of course, is to go to a large Primal Chaos Hall in Primal Chaos City! The cultivation grotto-mansions within a large Primal Chaos Hall offer an unlimited supply of life energy for absorption—you can absorb as much as you can bear,” God-Emperor Boxiu said. “However, Brother Luo Feng, it’s not suitable for you to leave Chengfeng City right now. So, we’ll need to rely on some treasures.”

“The quickest way is to buy a World Source Pearl! World Source Pearls can be used to open up ‘miniature source worlds’ within one’s body and act as the core of that inner world. You can refine a World Source Pearl, and it becomes a part of you, rapidly replenishing your power,” Boxiu explained. “World Source Pearls are relatively common in Chengfeng City. With a slight premium, it’s easy to acquire one.”

“Please buy one for me,” Luo Feng said. He had no need to worry about a slight premium.

God-Emperor Boxiu responded just moments later: “It’s been settled. My friend, God-Emperor Yuhe, sold it to you for 5.5 billion Primal Chaos crystals, with no markup whatsoever. He’ll deliver it personally shortly; he also greatly admires you, Brother Luo Feng!”

World Source Pearls were consistently sold at large Primal Chaos Halls, each costing 50,000 battle merits. God-Emperor Yuhe resold it for 5.5 billion Primal Chaos crystals, making no profit at all.

While some factions sought to plunder Luo Feng and make a substantial profit, there were also some God-Emperors who wished to follow him, though they had not yet found the opportunity.
