“To comprehend higher-level Chaos bloodlines and achieve a breakthrough truly shows exceptional talent,” Luo Feng remarked.

“Perhaps because of his immense talent, he’s also somewhat arrogant,” the thin elder chuckled.

A gold-clad woman nearby added, “Tianlang Ke usually looks down on us and rarely interacts with us! But overlooking us is one thing; this time, when all of us higher-level Chaos Beings from the Dark World Group collectively came to pay respects to Dao Brother Luo Feng, he was the only one who didn’t come! That was simply too much!”

“We messaged him more than once, trying to persuade him,” other higher-level Chaos Beings complained.

“No need to insist,” Luo Feng said, glancing around. “Please, everyone, don’t stand. Take a seat.”

Luo Feng, of course, paid no mind to the minor issue of Tianlang Ke. For him, his own cultivation was paramount. The attitude of a somewhat talented higher-level Chaos Being was merely a small embellishment in his cultivation life.

“Dao Brother Luo Feng, please.”

Teng and a few others gathered around Luo Feng. Only after Luo Feng took his seat did the other ten thousand-plus higher-level Chaos Beings gradually sit down. Everyone relaxed, drinking and conversing freely.

Those who genuinely chatted with Luo Feng were Teng and a few of the strongest among them. “What do you higher-level Chaos Beings typically do?” Luo Feng inquired.

“We do all sorts of things,” Teng explained with a smile. “All the myriad trivial matters within the cultivator faction in the infinite Chaos Space ultimately fall to us higher-level Chaos Beings to manage.”

The gold-clad woman, with three purple scales on her brow, chuckled, “Guarding sacred realms, nurturing living beings in countless worlds, as well as patrol missions, long-term vigilance missions, treasure-seeking missions, and mining and excavation tasks in the infinite Chaos Space – almost all tasks are our responsibility as higher-level Chaos Beings.”

“We’re too busy to handle everything ourselves, so for many arduous tasks, we dispatch avatars to supervise the subjugated higher-level Chaos Beings,” the grey-robed man chimed in.

Luo Feng understood.

The cultivator faction had only a little over eighty million higher-level Chaos Beings, yet the subjugated higher-level Chaos Beings exceeded fifty billion! Even with their life cores refined, these subjugated beings still required ‘overseers’ to monitor them.

The higher-level Chaos Beings from the cultivator side effectively served as these overseers.

“The territory governed by our cultivator faction is simply too vast,” Teng stated. “Without relying on those innate Chaos Beings, we wouldn’t be able to cope.”

“Indeed, it’s not easy,” Luo Feng nodded.

The seven Lords, standing aloof, could not possibly handle such trivial matters. The Lords were responsible for the overall security of the entire cultivator faction, resisting external invasions!

The 237 World-level Chaos Beings could not attend to every detail personally.

And cultivators who had not yet transcended were unable to enter the ‘infinite Chaos Space.’ The real work was primarily carried out by the eighty million higher-level Chaos Beings and over fifty billion subjugated ones.

“Our group of higher-level Chaos Beings from the Dark World Group is not highly regarded,” Teng said with a sigh. “Tianlang Ke, the most promising individual in our group, is a recluse and completely ignores us. Our lives are not easy; we’re often left with the dirty and arduous work.”

Luo Feng listened and nodded, then asked, “How strong are the higher-level Chaos Beings in our Dark World Group?”

“We struggle to advance by excavating our bloodline potential,” Teng explained. “Our strength is generally in the early to mid-stages of ‘higher-level Chaos Being.’ Very few reach the ‘late’ stage.”

“Only Tianlang Ke and the three of us here have reached the ‘complete’ stage of higher-level Chaos Being,” Teng said, looking at his two companions.

“Dao Friend Teng is stronger than us,” the gold-clad woman said. “Dao Friend Teng refined a World-level Chaos bloodline, reaching ‘higher-level Chaos Being complete,’ and has the potential to become a World-level Chaos Being. Wu Yan and I reached the complete stage by excavating higher-level Chaos bloodlines. After refining a new World-level Chaos bloodline, with both bloodline wills and memory contamination within us, it’s unlikely for Wu Yan and me to reach World-level Chaos Being.”

“My hope of becoming a World-level Chaos Being is also very slim,” Teng shook his head. “Only Tianlang Ke! He comprehended the bloodline, which is why he quickly reached higher-level Chaos Being complete. Among those who comprehend the bloodline, one out of dozens of them can become a World-level Chaos Being.”

Luo Feng nodded. Based on his understanding, nearly a hundred of the 237 World-level Chaos Beings had cultivated their way up from higher-level Chaos Beings.

“By the way, how much do you know about the Lords?” Luo Feng inquired.

Teng, the gold-clad woman, and the grey-robed man paused slightly.

The Lords?

They dared not speak too much about the lofty Lords.

“We are all under Lord Yuan,” Teng said with a smile. “Lord Yuan is quite tolerant of us, and Lord Xingmang and Lord Wu Lan are similarly tolerant of their subordinates. As for the other Lords, they each have their own requirements for their subordinates.”

Luo Feng understood.

Lords Yuan, Xingmang, and Wu Lan were indeed very lenient in their management.

The remaining four must be much stricter.

“The other four Lords also have varying dispositions, with Lord Minghuang being the most benevolent,” the gold-clad woman added briefly, then said no more. Having resided in the Primal Land for a long time, higher-level Chaos Beings would exchange information and naturally understood the styles of the seven Lords! But no one dared to speak ill of a Lord, for a single word would create karma, and the Lords would know.

However, Lords generally did not bother to pursue such matters.

To these higher-level Chaos Beings, the seven Lords were omniscient and possessed infinite power, protecting the entire cultivator faction.

While the Lords had different personalities and occasionally some conflicts among themselves, it was not for these higher-level Chaos Beings or World-level Chaos Beings to question.

Luo Feng listened.

Yuan, Xingmang, and Wu Lan were tolerant of their subordinates.

Lord Minghuang was benevolent.

What about the other three, including Lord Jin?

“Lord Xingmang is the only one who transcended through sheer power,” Luo Feng asked. “Do you know how long it took Lord Xingmang to achieve that breakthrough?”

“I was already a higher-level Chaos Being before Lord Xingmang transcended,” Teng said with a chuckle. “So I know the exact time clearly. Back then, Lord Xingmang was at the ‘invincible tier,’ and also a fusion path cultivator, who was brought to Chaos Island. He resided in the cave mansion atop that high mountain.” Luo Feng nodded.

“He lived there for a very, very long time—a full twelve trillion epochs before breaking through. He should be, historically, the fusion path cultivator who resided on Chaos Island the longest,” Teng said.

“Twelve trillion epochs?” Luo Feng gasped in surprise upon hearing that.

This was the time as perceived externally. If Lord Xingmang hadn’t used the time acceleration in the cave mansion’s quiet room back then, it might have taken even longer.

The current permanent one-million-times time acceleration in the cave mansion was established by Lord Xingmang! Before Lord Xingmang transcended, the time acceleration must have been far less effective than it is now.

“Yes, during his stay, another fusion path cultivator appeared. At that time, a second high mountain emerged on Chaos Island, and a new cave mansion was built,” Teng recounted.

From the time it took, Luo Feng could discern the difficulty of ‘breaking through with sheer power.’

It was incredibly difficult for a being before transcendence to comprehend the ‘Chaos Spacetime Dao,’ taking an immense amount of time.

“What else do you know about Lord Xingmang’s breakthrough through sheer power?” Luo Feng inquired. Having lived in the Primal Land for a long time, they should know many rumors.

“I heard that before Lord Xingmang transcended, he already had a way to reincarnate into other origin worlds,” the gold-clad woman said. “He seemingly lived in the Chaos Island cave mansion for twelve trillion epochs, but most of that time was likely spent reincarnating into various origin worlds.”

“I also heard that Lord Xingmang once applied for a World-level Chaos Being servant, specifically a subjugated World-level Chaos Being,” the grey-robed man stated. “The news of his application for a World-level Chaos Being servant only came to light after he broke through. That servant… was a subjugated innate World-level Chaos Being, and now that World-level Chaos Being servant is highly valued by Lord Xingmang.”

“It’s the World-level Chaos Being Kaitu,” Teng also nodded. “I know about this too; Kaitu is highly regarded by Lord Xingmang!”

“Why did Lord Xingmang apply for a World-level Chaos Being servant back then?” Luo Feng asked.

The ‘World-level Chaos Being servants’ applied for were, of course, those who had been captured and then subjugated. However, the cost of application was still extremely high, requiring a full 5 million reward points.

Even fusion path cultivators would hesitate before exchanging for one.

“I heard it was for going into the infinite Chaos Space.”

“Before Lord Xingmang transcended, he was very curious about the infinite Chaos Space and reportedly visited many highly special and mysterious places. Weaker servants were unable to go, so he specifically chose a ‘World-level Chaos Being servant.'”

“Kaitu was also skilled in spacetime abilities.”

Teng and the others elaborated. These matters were secrets early on, but after Lord Xingmang’s breakthrough, they gradually came to light.

From these clues, Luo Feng could deduce some of the methods Lord Xingmang used to achieve his breakthrough through sheer power.

“He could reincarnate into origin worlds multiple times on his own? He dispatched avatars and his World-level Chaos Being servant, Kaitu, to explore and cultivate in the infinite Chaos Space for extended periods?” Luo Feng pondered.

“And he still took a total of about twelve trillion epochs to finally achieve a breakthrough through sheer power.”

Luo Feng was certain in his mind.

Some information was not recorded in the official data of the Primal Land. However, these higher-level Chaos Beings, having resided there for so long, had heard many rumors.

Luo Feng drank and chatted with them for a long time, finally gaining a comprehensive understanding of the entire cultivator faction.

The functioning of its order was perfectly clear to him. He also learned about the conflicts between the cultivator faction and the innate Chaos Being faction, as well as some past wars. Luo Feng even gained a clearer perception of the temperaments of the seven Lords.

Luo Feng returned to his cave mansion atop the high mountain on Chaos Island.

“Lord Xingmang took twelve trillion epochs to achieve his breakthrough through sheer power. If I want to do the same, I must first have sufficient patience and not rush,” Luo Feng now had a more adequate psychological preparation.

He was ready for a long period of cultivation.

“The foundation must be solid enough.”

Luo Feng sat cross-legged in the quiet room. “Out of the over eight hundred million types of low-level Chaos bloodlines, those categorized as life-based, destruction-based, and those possessing both life and destruction, total 56.03 million types of low-level Chaos bloodlines and their corpse materials.”

“I will start from scratch. For each of these 56.03 million types of low-level Chaos bloodlines and their corresponding materials, I will meticulously ‘complete the secret patterns’ and thoroughly study them.”

Luo Feng was not in a hurry to create the ‘Chaos-level Dao of life and destruction.’ Instead, he began by researching the weakest ‘low-level Chaos bloodlines,’ thus commencing his first period of secluded cultivation in the Primal Land.
