In the Land of Eternity, twenty-nine beings were gathered, a rare occurrence.

“Luo Feng, when will your celebration for becoming a lord take place?” Kafushiu asked with a smile. “It’s been a long time since I visited your cultivator territory. I could take the opportunity to look around!”

The other immortal beings also looked at Luo Feng.

Almost all of them would send avatars to participate in Luo Feng’s celebration.

“The Blood Crane Territory, the mysterious land I control, is currently migrating back to the cultivator territory!” Luo Feng replied with a smile. “The celebration will be held once the Blood Crane Territory arrives.”

Beings who achieved immortality by controlling mysterious lands typically held their celebrations within those lands, so no one was surprised by Luo Feng’s decision.

“Sister Shazhou, if you have time, shall we explore the Through-Valley Land together?” asked Mo Xu, the peculiar cuboid.

“Okay!” Shazhou, the woman in armor, nodded. “I’m ready anytime…”

“We’ll depart after this gathering,” Mo Xu said, looking around. “Anyone who wishes to join us can come along!”

“I’ll join,” the Infinite Serpent Ancestor also stated.

In total, six immortal beings wished to go to the Through-Valley Land together.

Luo Feng listened from the side. He had also learned about many mysterious lands from the information database of the Land of Origin.

The Through-Valley Land was a mysterious valley spawned by the Infinite Origin Space. Within the valley, various terrifying attacks would descend erratically. To date, only a handful of beings had managed to traverse the entire Through-Valley Land.

The greatest benefit of the Through-Valley Land was the opportunity to experience attacks that surpassed those of all other life forms, which provided valuable inspiration for forging one’s own path forward.

Shazhou had visited the Through-Valley Land the most frequently, and most of her ultimate moves were developed by studying the attacks encountered there.

The twenty-nine beings in the Land of Eternity belonged to four major factions. Luo Feng observed their conversations and noted something interesting: the Innate Origin Faction, the Cultivator Faction, the Ice Peak Faction, and the Lone Wanderer Faction.

The first three factions generally paid little attention to each other. In contrast, proposals from the Lone Wanderer Faction were easily accepted by all sides.

“Our eight cultivator lords are truly different!” Luo Feng thought as he listened to the conversations. “While these ancestors often seek adventure and explore for treasures together, the cultivator lords rarely get involved. Cultivator lords primarily focus on enlightenment, only occasionally exploring mysterious lands that resonate with them. As for other resources, they only need enough for protection. The resources of the 3,600 World Clusters are sufficient for them; they have no ambition for resources from broader territories.”

After a journey of ten epochs, the Blood Crane Territory, a mysterious land, finally arrived at the Dark World Cluster. This Dark World Cluster has now been renamed the Galaxy World Cluster, and the Dark Sacred Realm has been renamed the Galaxy Sacred Realm. This is common practice for every lord; they rename their absolute territories to a name they prefer.

The Blood Crane Territory is vast and immense, home to over 7.5 billion high-level Origin beings of the Blood Crane lineage. Only a small portion of this lineage remains under Luo Feng’s direct command; the rest have been dispatched to other lords’ territories to work diligently. All eight cultivator lords operate this way; even the world-level Origin beings they personally enslave are shared with the entire faction.

The celebration concluded, and Luo Feng saw off his numerous guests.

Even the Innate Origin Faction sent a total of six emperors, including the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, as well as thirty-one avatars of ordinary ancestors to this grand celebration. The Ice Peak Faction also sent twenty-six avatars. Additionally, many weaker powers had ancestors’ avatars attending, bringing the total to over a hundred ancestral avatars.

The number of ancestral avatars attending the ceremony was a clear indicator of the host’s influence within the Infinite Origin Space.

For hosts like the Three Emperors of Wind and Thunder Sea, the number of attending observers was much smaller.

“Farewell!”

“Brother Luo Feng, no need to see us off.” After the other guests had departed, the other seven cultivator lords left. The last one to remain was Lord Moman.

Moman walked closer to Luo Feng. “You promised to help me before!”

“Now?” Luo Feng asked. “I can depart anytime.”

Moman smiled upon hearing this. He was naturally quite pleased by Luo Feng’s readiness.

“It’s not time yet. There’s a very unique mysterious land, a land of fluctuations. I can only detect its fluctuations about once every hundred thousand epochs, and its next appearance is still roughly five thousand epochs away!”

“Once it appears, we must depart immediately!”

“Alright, no problem!” Luo Feng replied.

“Thanks!” With a single step, Moman’s entire form transformed into a ripple and vanished.

Luo Feng stood amidst the endless sea of blood, his blood-red robe fluttering around him.

“Finally, I’m completely free… It’s time to properly seclude myself and comprehend the Origin Blade Dao!” Luo Feng mused, gazing into the nearby space-time. The Blood Crane Territory was very close to the Origin Continent’s source world.

Should an unforeseen crisis arise in the future, Luo Feng could relocate the Blood Crane Territory again. It would only take a few breaths for the Blood Crane Territory to reach the vicinity of the Origin Continent, allowing the endless sea of blood to fully protect the Origin Continent’s source world.

Based on what was known, nothing should be able to threaten his home source world, which he personally guarded, nor the safety of his family and friends.

Within the Origin Continent’s source world, he could easily revive beings. However, if the source world were destroyed, revival would be impossible.

Luo Feng had to ensure the absolute safety of his home source world.

Conflict in the Infinite Origin Space never ceased. The Ice Peak Faction, having just suffered losses against the Cultivator Faction, had some ancestors bullying surrounding weaker forces to seize more resources. These weaker forces, having some confidence, were unwilling to join larger factions, and thus their struggles were naturally fierce.

However, the Innate Origin Faction and the Cultivator Faction were relatively quiet. Their previous conflict had been too intense, resulting in the deaths of eleven ancestors on one side and the fall of numerous territories on the other. Their power rankings among the top entities remained stable, as the conflict truly did not reach the level of widespread source world destruction, and both sides needed to recuperate.

“This war was truly worth it.” Within a colossal sphere of boundless light lay the true form of the Infinite Ancestor. As one of the top three most powerful beings, the Infinite Ancestor had not yet achieved immortality, which made it a steadfast warmonger. It needed sufficient tempering.

“I’ve explored all possibilities, and only one path offers a glimmer of hope for immortality: first, one must return to oblivion, and from oblivion seek indestructibility. However, the probability of complete death on this path likely exceeds ninety-nine percent!” the Oblivion Ancestor sighed.

It was unwilling to take this path, as the chance of success was too slim.

In terms of power, it already rivaled the cultivator lords; even if they teamed up, they couldn’t kill it. It only existed with a theoretical possibility of being killed. How could such a being risk a path with over a ninety-nine percent chance of death?

“Excellent, excellent, excellent.”

Yuan, from the Land of Origin within the Cultivator Faction, was currently reading the inheritance written by Luo Feng.

“Brother Luo Feng’s research into the operation of origins is unparalleled in the entire Infinite Origin Space!”

Yuan was delighted. All eight lords were comprehenders of the Dao, and their depth of research was generally far greater than that of the ancestors.

“Luo Feng’s Origin Life-and-Death Dao is primarily focused on life, and its origin system is the core of his path! My path requires an origin system!” Yuan carefully pondered the inheritance, extracting the parts that benefited him.

The power of his cultivated Origin Rule Operation Dao was increasing with the number of Divine King Ultimate Annihilation Daos he comprehended. However, Yuan had failed in his attempts to create a source world. This was because a source world not only required rule operation but also the combination of many Daos into an origin.

Luo Feng possessed the Life-and-Death Origin, whereas he needed to combine numerous Grand Dao systems into an origin.

“A source world requires at least nine Grand Daos, and combining nine Grand Daos into an origin is far more complex than Luo Feng’s single Life-and-Death Origin!” Yuan was quite troubled.

The Origin Life-and-Death Dao integrated nine Daos, and because many characteristics related to life could easily transform into an origin, constructing 1.08 billion origins was effortless.

“At least nine Grand Daos must combine to form an origin!”

“If I pursue a system combining more Grand Dao origins, it will be even more complex.” Although Yuan felt his path was difficult, he was still very pleased because Luo Feng’s detailed origin system had pointed the way forward. Furthermore, a successful Origin Rule Operation Dao, now with an origin system, would undergo a true qualitative transformation!

“The inner core serves as the origin, which powers the rule operation! Only when inner and outer are unified can a source world be created. At least I can see the path ahead now!” Yuan continued his secluded cultivation.

The eight lords of the Cultivator Faction each had their own affairs. Xingmang diligently repaired various spatial-temporal nets, while Jin once again ventured alone into the Abyss of Destruction. Moman continued to roam the Infinite Origin Space as a fluctuation, and Wulan leisurely nurtured her bloodline descendants. Luo Feng, meanwhile, was comprehending the Origin Blade Dao within the Blood Crane Territory.

Unconsciously, three thousand epochs of rule comprehension had passed.

“I need sufficient resources to help myself advance further!”

“After countless long years and innumerable obstacles, I have finally grasped the hope of immortality and truly seen the path ahead,” the Infinite Ancestor rejoiced at this moment.

“I must thank this war, and I must thank Lord Luo Feng. It was because of Luo Feng’s great origin destruction, and the terrifying power that swept across its range, that the Infinite Ancestor, intent on saving its companions, endured the impact of Luo Feng’s great origin destruction with its own boundless light. That horrific energy storm, that incomparably dazzling mass of light, swept across dozens of ancestors, severely wounding twenty-six of them.”

“That was the true boundless light; boundless light should possess immeasurable power. The Infinite Ancestor understood that this was its path forward. It only needed to advance further to transform into that incomparably dazzling light.”

“To possess immeasurable power, I need to become even purer. Even my core must completely merge into the light. Only then will my core be omnipresent, able to manifest in any wisp of light throughout the Infinite Origin Space, and I shall truly become immortal!”

The Infinite Ancestor had glimpsed its path forward and immediately began absorbing the resources accumulated over vast epochs. With resources supplied, and actively guiding its core’s transformation, its core began a very slow metamorphosis. This process was also full of difficulties and dangers. The clearer its understanding of the path ahead, the smoother its core’s transformation would be.

“Where is my path…?” The Oblivion Ancestor, one of the Nine Emperors of the Innate Origin Faction and also one of the top three most powerful beings within its faction, also diligently sought the path to immortality but could find no hope.
