Refining the Heart Within Dream Flower House

Moluo Sa flew as he spoke. "That was a relatively cheap little restaurant. Next, we're going somewhere that ranks among the finest places for pleasure in all of Huyang City."

"One of Huyang City's finest places for pleasure? Where?" Luo Feng asked curiously.

"Dream Flower House." Moluo Sa spoke with deliberate mystery.

"Myriad Races Cultivators only look alike when they restrain their true forms, but in reality, they come from different races," Luo Feng said. "Some do not even have genders, and their preferences vary enormously. How can Dream Flower House attract Myriad Races Cultivators?"

"You'll find out soon enough, Master," Moluo Sa said.

As they chatted and laughed, a towering complex of buildings appeared ahead. It covered an immense area and was shrouded in formations. Countless attendants could vaguely be seen flying about, while laughter, music, and angry roars drifted out faintly.

"Dream Flower House is up ahead." Moluo Sa sighed. "Everything about it is good, except it's expensive!"

A green-clad figure flew over to greet them, humble and respectful. "It is Dream Flower House's honor to receive a Venerable One."

Within Huyang City, Eternal True Gods were the most powerful beings. They were the "heavens" of Huyang City! Each had their own affairs, and Dream Flower House only occasionally had the chance to receive an Eternal True God.

"It's my first time here. You arrange everything," Luo Feng instructed.

"Yes." The Green-Clad Attendant's smile carried a seductive charm. "I will arrange the most prestigious Lan Xing Hall for you, Venerable One."

The attendant then flew ahead to lead the way, with Luo Feng and Moluo Sa following behind.

The formations throughout Dream Flower House resembled a vast maze-like world. Moluo Sa looked around in amazement. "I've come here several times, but I've never gone this deep into Dream Flower House. It seems this is where only the truly distinguished guests may come."

Luo Feng suddenly frowned slightly and looked into the distance. With his Perfect Divine Body, his sensory range was broad and incredibly sharp. At that moment, he sensed something he detested taking place in a hall ahead.

That hall was vast, filled with distinguished guests from the myriad races. They ate, drank, chatted, and laughed as they watched a life-and-death battle unfolding at the center of the hall.

Two True Gods were doing everything they could to kill each other!

The center of the hall was soaked in blood, where more than ten True God corpses lay scattered, all having reverted to their original forms after death.

"Kill him! Kill him for me! If you lose, your entire family will be buried alongside you!" a green-robed guest roared.

"Cong Queshan, of the ten servants you sent into this Ten Ultimates Battle, only this one remains," another guest with eight arms said leisurely, smiling. "I still have three servants who have yet to take the field. It seems this wager will be mine."

"Hmph, it isn't over yet! My guard is exceptionally talented. He can absolutely kill all your remaining servants!" the green-robed guest snapped.

"Is that so?" The eight-armed guest raised his wine cup.

The other guests were also wildly excited.

"Cong Queshan, I bet on your side to win. Your servant isn't cutting it. Only the last one remains."

"My servant will definitely win. He definitely will!" The green-robed guest's expression turned somewhat ferocious, while the eyes of the two True Gods fighting in the center of the hall grew increasingly crazed. They had no way out.

Each side sent out ten servants. The battle only ended once all of one side's servants had died.

Who would willingly take part in such a cruel wager?

But they had no choice!

"I left my tribe and came to Huyang City only to seek opportunities. I obtained an inheritance and grew stronger. But today, I'm going to die here. I wonder how my little sister is doing in the tribe now?" One bald True God was clearly at a disadvantage and was about to be unable to hold on.

"Finish him!" the green-robed guest shouted viciously. "Then kill the remaining three! I'll reward you handsomely!"

"How laughable." The eight-armed guest was utterly confident.

At that moment, Luo Feng, Moluo Sa, and the attendant flew past from afar. Luo Feng cast a distant glance toward the hall.

Huyang City's laws prohibited killing.

However, considering that True Gods pursued greater strength and some desired battle, Huyang City would not interfere as long as both parties signed a life-and-death contract and fought voluntarily.

But Luo Feng understood at a glance that the True Gods fighting in the center of that hall had clearly been "voluntarily" forced into battle.

"Buzz~~~"

Luo Feng merely glanced over.

An invisible aura swept across every living being in that great hall. The distinguished guests, who had been reveling and gambling on the battle, suddenly felt as if an incomparably terrifying existence had fixed its gaze upon them.

The two True Gods engaged in their life-and-death battle had their thoughts freeze beneath that terrifying aura, their minds turning blank.

These distinguished guests with extraordinary backgrounds were almost all Void True Gods, yet the hall fell utterly silent. Not one dared make a sound.

"Venerable One." The Green-Clad Attendant was startled and immediately stopped flying.

"I was in quite a good mood today," Luo Feng said calmly, a trace of killing intent appearing between his brows. "Who would have thought I would see something like this? It dirties my eyes and ruins my mood."

The Green-Clad Attendant trembled with fear and hurriedly said, "It was an oversight on Dream Flower House's part. Dream Flower House does not permit such life-and-death gambling battles either. It is our fault that we ruined your mood, Venerable One. Tonight, Dream Flower House will cover all of your expenses."

"Let's go to Lan Xing Hall," Luo Feng said.

"Yes." The Green-Clad Attendant continued leading the way.

Moluo Sa merely glanced at the distant hall and gave a strange chuckle. "A bunch of little brats." He then followed Luo Feng toward Lan Xing Hall.

Inside the hall where the life-and-death gambling battle had taken place.

"Everyone, please leave quickly," the attending servant urged anxiously. "That unfamiliar Eternal True God clearly dislikes life-and-death gambling battles."

"Go, go!" the green-robed guest, Cong Queshan, immediately said. "Everyone, hurry and leave."

"You got lucky." The eight-armed guest did not dare linger. He fled the fastest, swiftly disappearing outside the hall under the protection of three guards. The other distinguished guests also hurried away.

The two True Gods who had been fighting looked at each other.

"Who would have thought the two of us would escape disaster?" They collected their companions' corpses and swiftly departed as well.

Deep within Dream Flower House lay its most central hall, Lan Xing Hall.

"Even though Dream Flower House is one of Huyang City's finest places for pleasure, Eternal True Gods only come here occasionally." Moluo Sa sat to one side. "Its usual guests are primarily Void True Gods. They play very wildly, and the attendants do not dare stop those young members of major clans."

The Green-Clad Attendant stood nearby, pouring wine and waiting on them.

"There is too much filth in this world. How could I possibly concern myself with all of it?" Luo Feng said leisurely. "The trace of aura I released was merely a warning."

"What if they ignored your warning, Master, and kept doing it?" Moluo Sa asked.

"Then they would be refusing to give me face and slapping me in the face! If so, they could not blame anyone when they died," Luo Feng said.

Moluo Sa hurriedly said, "Master truly is kind-hearted, giving them a chance to live."

The Green-Clad Attendant serving them trembled inwardly.

Many of the guests in that hall had come from numerous top clans in Huyang City. This unfamiliar Eternal True God claimed he would kill them just like that? Perhaps he was merely speaking casually?

"Hmm?" Luo Feng saw a Black-Clad Woman enter from outside the hall. After entering, she gave a slight bow.

"Venerable One," the Green-Clad Attendant introduced, "this is the Direct Disciple of our Dream Flower Mistress, Su Ya Musician."

Moluo Sa also said from the side, "There are only a handful of Eternal True Gods in all of Huyang City skilled in illusions, and among those willing to use illusions to entertain guests, Dream Flower Mistress is the only one."

Luo Feng nodded.

He himself cultivated the Nine Nightmares Realm alongside his other methods and had only just entered the Eternal True God level. If illusions were used not for battle but to entertain the public, their effects truly could be extraordinary.

"Begin." Luo Feng was quite curious about what kind of illusions Dream Flower House used to attract Myriad Races Cultivators.

The Black-Clad Woman sat alone. With a wave of her hand, numerous musical instruments appeared before her.

As divine power flowed into the various instruments, their sounds rose at once. Many of those melodies possessed the ability to influence the mind, and together, they instantly drew Luo Feng into memories of the past.

His emotions began to burn.

Luo Feng seemed to see the countless people of Earth charging forward one after another to confront the Golden Horned Beast.

"Using musical instruments as the guide, with illusions as the foundation, influencing emotions..."

"Passion! Excitement! Burning!"

"For people like us, who have cultivated for endless years, the mind grows ever more still, like a vast land with scarcely any ripples. It is far too difficult to make my emotions fluctuate intensely." Luo Feng did not resist at all, instead willingly allowing the musical illusion to affect him.

But his Mind Will was too powerful. With Chaos-level peak willpower, this sort of illusion could not shake him in the slightest.

It merely caused Luo Feng to recall certain memories from Earth.

Those days of burning passion!

"Right, the Lie Yuan Art contains all kinds of secret methods for cultivating Mind Will. One of them is the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method." As memories of past passion surged forth, Luo Feng also recalled the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method.

"The Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method actively magnifies one's mental perception, making one easily moved, joyful, enraged, sorrowful... Then, it uses all kinds of emotions as nourishment to refine the Mind Will."

With a single thought, Luo Feng began using the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method. As the method circulated, his mental perception rapidly magnified.

The musical illusion, which had previously only stirred some resonance within Luo Feng and brought back memories of the past, became countless times more powerful in an instant.

Boom!!!

In a daze, Luo Feng returned to the past.

"Sit down. Close your eyes. Remember, do not resist," Luo Feng said in a low voice.

"Understood." Mo Hendersen, Yi Site, Tripathi Singh, Jia Yi, and Suo Keluofu sat in their designated positions according to the Six-Pointed Star secret technique. They exchanged glances, strange smiles appearing on their faces.

It was the very scene in which the six of them sacrificed themselves to deal with the Golden Horned Beast.

A blazing conviction arose in Luo Feng's heart, transcending life and death. There was only one thought: kill the Golden Horned Beast.

With the aid of the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method, that blazing emotion became so intense that tears welled in Luo Feng's eyes.

The musical illusion existed to serve the guests, so it evoked only beneficial emotions.

Burning passion, love, vows of eternal devotion, brotherhood through life and death...

After a long while, the Black-Clad Woman musician stopped. She was somewhat astonished by the expression of this unfamiliar Eternal True God. Eternal True Gods generally did not become so immersed in the influence of their illusions.

Tears shimmered faintly in Luo Feng's eyes as he slowly opened them.

"Good. Good," Luo Feng said softly. "Very good."
