On the peak of Hunyuan Island, within the Primal Land, Luo Feng sat by a cliff edge, a wine pot beside him. His Eye of Creation and Destruction, located between his brows, was open, allowing him to clearly observe the lives of the invincible beings on Hunyuan Island. He could also see that most of the Primal Land was quiet and peaceful.

Luo Feng looked at the Primal Land, which could even be described as absolutely safe.

The Primal Land was originally a treasured land nurtured by the Infinite Hunyuan Space. After being refined and reinforced by several Lords, Starfall Lord had further relocated it to this special spacetime, making it impossible for numerous Hunyuan Ancestors to find it.

In contrast, the entire Cultivator Domain was under full assault. He heard that another World Cluster, the Jade River World Cluster, had fallen.

While news of a World Cluster’s fall was difficult for cultivators within the Cage to fully ascertain, within the Primal Land, the collapse of each World Cluster quickly spread among the World-level Hunyuan beings and High-level Hunyuan beings. After all, every World Cluster required a large number of High-level Hunyuan beings to guard it. The news of their avatars falling in battle could not be concealed. The Cultivator Domain once encompassed a maximum of 3600 World Clusters.

Luo Feng was also aware that this number only nominally accounted for some peripheral regions, which had been constantly under attack by the Innate Hunyuan Life faction.

For instance, the Dark World Cluster, being in the core heartland, was relatively safe, but World Clusters in the peripheral regions were continuously falling. Now, only 2922 World Clusters remained. “Of course, during this process, the Cultivator faction also counter-killed three Hunyuan Ancestors, numerous World-level Hunyuan beings, and countless High-level Hunyuan beings,” Luo Feng mused.

However, the situation was clear: the Innate Hunyuan Life faction was willing to “kill a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of their own.” Lord Yuan had also stated that the worst possible outcome was the fall of all territories.

Luo Feng understood. The seven Lords had no way to reverse the situation, as the opposing side possessed immense overall strength. From what he had heard, the Innate Hunyuan Life faction was so vast that even though only most of their forces had been integrated for this war, a portion of their power and some Hunyuan Ancestors were unwilling to participate.

“Will my homeworld, the Source World, also fall?” Luo Feng’s mood was naturally sour when he learned of the Jade River World Cluster’s demise immediately after emerging from his first seclusion in the Primal Land. He worried about his home, his beloved family and friends, and the human race there. There were too many innocent and vulnerable beings. Once a World Cluster fell, and the Source World was destroyed, all life within it would be extinguished. Even if there were a migration plan to move from his homeworld to the distant Primal Land, the journey was long, and the Primal Land itself was only so large. How many migration slots could he possibly secure?

“The birth of new World-level Hunyuan beings is meaningless to the war between the two factions! Only the emergence of a Lord can influence the situation!” Luo Feng pondered.

To become a Lord…

Luo Feng had gained much from his first seclusion, yet he was still incredibly far from becoming a Lord. This seclusion was his longest, spanning over 3.7 million eras. During this time, he spent approximately 900,000 eras comprehending over 56.03 million types of Low-level Hunyuan bloodlines and over 200,000 eras comprehending more than 320,000 types of High-level Hunyuan bloodlines, accumulating over 3.7 million eras in total. Because the cultivation chamber, designed for path-fusion cultivators, could accelerate time by a millionfold, only a little over three eras had actually passed in the outside world. Although external time was brief, Luo Feng’s spiritual divine kingdom felt somewhat fatigued, prompting him to emerge and observe the scenery of the Primal Land.

Starfall Lord had expended immeasurable eons to break through with brute force; what was his cultivation time in comparison?

Upon learning of the Jade River World Cluster’s fall, Luo Feng was filled with a burning fighting spirit.

Luo Feng stood up and returned to his cultivation chamber.

Inside the cultivation chamber!

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, the Void-Splitting Blade plunged into the ground beside him. The Primal Land’s observational capabilities could reflect over 80% of the profound mysteries contained within the Void-Splitting Blade, and these reflected mysteries were fully displayed within the chamber.

“I can understand parts of the Void-Splitting Blade’s mysteries. My current accumulation is tens to hundreds of times stronger than before I was drawn here!”

Luo Feng could feel his own progress, as he had been comprehending Hunyuan bloodlines from the categories of life, destruction, and both creation and destruction. His accumulation in terms of life and destruction had naturally increased significantly.

Even his mental consciousness system had undergone a qualitative transformation and rapidly enriched itself, as his divine power had comprehended over 320,000 types of High-level Hunyuan bloodlines, more than ten thousand of which contained aspects of mental consciousness. His mental fortitude was at least ten times stronger than before he was drawn here. Although his physical body and soul had not yet escaped the Cage, his mental will alone was already at a peak level among High-level Hunyuan beings. Most crucially, he had newly comprehended the Hunyuan Power system, which Luo Feng considered his greatest gain from this first seclusion.

In the Infinite Hunyuan Space, all things and all living beings originate from Hunyuan Power. Hunyuan Power was the source of everything!

As Luo Feng comprehended numerous Low-level and High-level Hunyuan bloodlines, he gradually grasped their commonality: their very origin was Hunyuan Power.

“Without Hunyuan Power, all life would perish!”

“I aim to pursue the most immense and powerful life form; the Hunyuan Power system is an indispensable part of this.”

Luo Feng was already constructing the Hunyuan Power system; even the weakest Low-level Hunyuan beings could absorb Hunyuan Power.

Luo Feng’s construction of the Hunyuan Power system was continuously enriching. Now, he began comprehending World-level Hunyuan bloodlines, starting with a selection process.

Among the more than 30,000 types of World-level Hunyuan bloodlines, there were 2,729 types that fell into the three categories of life, destruction, and both creation and destruction.

His usual method: “Poverty-Style Shadow Comprehension!”

Luo Feng selected a World-level Hunyuan bloodline and first began comprehending its twelve corresponding materials, which included dark blue scales, fangs, blood, and other items. The materials of World-level Hunyuan beings were indeed far too difficult to comprehend. Luo Feng encountered numerous perplexities as soon as he began, but he was patient, diligently resolving each confusion.

Even after a long period of 500,000 eras, Luo Feng stared blankly at the materials before him.

“I can’t comprehend them at all, let alone complete the secret patterns!”

Luo Feng despaired. For these 500,000 eras, he had tried every method, but the secret patterns of these materials presented too many puzzles, completely trapping him. He didn’t understand, there was simply too much he didn’t grasp. Even with a hundred times more time, Luo Feng wasn’t confident he could resolve half of the perplexities.

“I can’t waste time!” Luo Feng frowned. According to his cultivation plan, comprehending World-level Hunyuan bloodlines was only a small step; he couldn’t get stuck here. “I need to slightly adapt my method for comprehending World-level Hunyuan bloodlines! Start with the easier ones, then the harder!”

“First, I’ll filter out the types of World-level Hunyuan bloodlines from the 2,729 available that are more compatible with me!”

Luo Feng had been too confident before! After all, he had fully comprehended all Low-level and High-level Hunyuan bloodlines related to life, destruction, and both creation and destruction. Thus, he had ambitiously attempted to conquer all World-level Hunyuan bloodlines. But the very first one completely blocked him, and he sobered up.

A quick glance at the corpse materials of these Hunyuan bloodlines showed that 73 types were relatively compatible with him. Luo Feng quickly scanned them. These were types that could be understood with a cursory look, representing perhaps thirty to forty percent, clearly very compatible and likely close to his own path.

“Let’s begin!” Luo Feng chose the most compatible one: the corpse materials of a World-level Hunyuan being named Starsea Demon Lord.

This time, it was smoother. In less than 100,000 eras, Luo Feng’s research into these corpse materials became quite thorough, allowing him to complete the secret patterns. The comparison with the Hunyuan bloodline also went smoothly. Luo Feng’s comprehension of the Starsea Demon Lord’s World-level Hunyuan bloodline exceeded 70%. “The destruction profoundness of the Starsea Demon Lord’s Hunyuan bloodline constitutes 75%, and I’ve comprehended nearly all of it!”

Luo Feng smiled. He had finally comprehended at least one World-level Hunyuan bloodline. With the Starsea Demon Lord’s Hunyuan bloodline, he was confident he could immediately become a World-level Hunyuan being. It wasn’t that breaking through by comprehending bloodlines would take time; reaching the pinnacle of World-level Hunyuan was not difficult for him either.

“But what I pursue is to break through with brute force!” Luo Feng began comprehending the second type of World-level Hunyuan bloodline.

Since Luo Feng was progressing from easier to harder, starting with the most compatible ones, the difficulty would increase, and the time required would be longer as he went further. Of these 73 World-level Hunyuan bloodlines that were relatively compatible with him, he had comprehended 15 types. Luo Feng’s second seclusion had lasted nearly 10 million eras, during which he attempted to comprehend all these compatible ones, but only 15 types were comprehended to over 70%.

However, for cultivators, even when refining bloodlines, it was best to refine as few as possible to minimize the contamination of will and memory within their bodies. The higher the proportion of bloodline comprehension, the better. Therefore, even if Luo Feng were to take the path of bloodline refinement, it would be best for him to choose only one type of bloodline. Although Luo Feng could theoretically refine 15 types of World-level Hunyuan bloodlines into his body at this moment, making him extremely powerful at the World-level Hunyuan stage, the massive will and memory contamination would completely distort his path, almost severing his hope of comprehending a Hunyuan-level Dao.

In the Primal Land! Yuan sat by a lake, fishing alone.

Luo Feng had now comprehended the fifteenth type of World-level Hunyuan bloodline. A message was automatically reported.

The Primal Land paid close attention to Hunyuan Island, monitoring the cultivation progress of every junior who had not yet escaped the Cage. Every bit of Luo Feng’s progress was recorded as he deliberated on the profound mysteries of Hunyuan bloodlines in his cultivation chamber. Comprehending over 70% of High-level Hunyuan bloodlines was not deemed worthy of a report. However, comprehending over 70% of a World-level Hunyuan bloodline would trigger a report.

“Fifteen types now.”

Yuan continued fishing, paying no mind. Most path-fusion cultivators who chose to refine bloodlines to become World-level Hunyuan beings could comprehend several types of Hunyuan bloodlines. At least half of all path-fusion cultivators could comprehend over a dozen types of World-level Hunyuan bloodlines.

“Luo Feng’s actual seclusion time was 10 million eras, which is relatively short! But comprehending only fifteen types is not a lot!” Yuan was calm; he didn’t even show any surprise.

Luo Feng’s progress was still too, too far from becoming a Lord.
