Volume Seven: Emperor Qing's Mixed Feelings

Luo Feng looked at the Infinite Space Treasure Trove, where even more information about various treasures was displayed.

"I'm not entirely confident that I can break Cage my Mind Will while I'm still at the God Emperor stage," Luo Feng thought. "So the 250,000 Reward Points might be all the Reward Points I have."

"I need to reserve enough Reward Points to use when I reach the Half Primal Chaos level."

Luo Feng pondered.

Currently, my cultivation level is relatively low, and I don't know what I need most to break free from this Cage! It would be most suitable to exchange for treasures when I reach the Half Primal Chaos level in the future.

"I'll just buy one of the cheaper ones." Luo Feng glanced around and instantly locked onto his target among the cheaper treasures.

"Exchange for the secret treasure 'Undying Heart'."

Luo Feng immediately exchanged the money.

The secret treasure 'Undying Heart' is indestructible, possesses limitless vitality, and can enhance the physical body. It can also condense an additional powerful battle body. Suitable for cultivation on the Path of Destruction. Requires 43,000 Reward Points to exchange.

This is the only treasure among those with less than 100,000 Reward Points that is suitable for both the Path of Destruction.

The Weapon Secret Treasure sold in Rain Ripple City are generally crafted by God Emperors. Even if a treasure is at the 'God Emperor Completion-Level,' once Luo Feng himself reaches the Half Primal Chaos level, his cultivation might be even stronger than the craftsman's, so the help from those treasures would be negligible.

Judging from their characteristics, these treasures in the Infinite Treasury were all crafted by beings who had broken Cage!

After the exchange, Luo Feng's Reward Points in the Infinite Space decreased to 211,093.03. According to Luo Feng's own cultivation plan, he would wait until he reached the Half Primal Chaos level before making the exchange.

Origin Continent, in the Quiet Room of the City Lord's Mansion in Huyang City, Inside the Star Tower.

Both ancestors of the two countries would build special places for secluded cultivation, but Luo Feng did not need to, because the Inside the Star Tower was the safest place.

"Undying Heart".

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, looking at the Cyan Treasure Pearl in his hand.

The Life-Death Eye between his brows opened, revealing the endless and profound mysteries contained within the Cyan Treasure Pearl, vast and boundless, no less than the Special Lifeform Remains. He vaguely saw a drop of blazing blood, from which all the mysteries of the mysteries originated.

"This precious pearl must have been crafted using Blood Drop as its core."

"Judging from its profound nature, Blood Drop should be from World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform. That's why this pearl possesses endless vitality and is indestructible."

The power originating from World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform is naturally described as 'endless vitality and indestructible' at the God Emperor level.

"This Undying Heart is enough for me to comprehend before I break free from this Cage," Luo Feng said with satisfaction.

In the Infinite Space Treasure Trove, I've already exchanged for the two most suitable secret treasures for myself: the Life-Death Eye and Undying Heart! Of course, there are also some rare treasures in the Infinite Space that can aid in cultivation.

For example, if you have a sapling, plant a tree and practice under it. You will be constantly inspired, and one day there will be equivalent to a thousand or ten thousand days of ordinary practice. Occasionally, you may even enter a state of sudden enlightenment.

For example, Book of Wisdom Book of Wisdom, which can analyze all things, study the Great Dao, and assist in one's own cultivation. It is far more powerful than the Life-Death Eye.

These were all discovered by Luo Feng after he had accumulated more than 250,000 Reward Points.

"Treasures are limitless, but Reward Points are finite. I must know how to use my Reward Points more effectively." Luo Feng remained calm.

"The Undying Heart, the Life-Death Eye, the Star Tower. From low to high... I can better understand how life and death combine."

First understand how to combine them, then you can figure out how to integrate them.

Luo Feng flipped his hand and took out a Primal Chaos Crystal. After consuming the Primal Chaos Crystal, he began to comprehend the densely packed Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform materials.

Observing with the Life Eye, these Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform materials had no secrets left in front of Luo Feng and were completely seen through! This was because Luo Feng possessed at least 90% of the 'God Emperor Early-Stage' Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform types in the Nine Rivers Holy World.

With so many different kinds of things, Luo Feng was able to glimpse all sorts of possibilities for life and the Path of Destruction.

"Life and destruction, they actually have such a vast branch?" Luo Feng was somewhat shocked, and he even felt a little lost.

He was once full of ambition! He once had a firm resolve!

He wants to encompass all the mysteries of life and destruction, and integrate them into his own Life-Death Great Path!

But when he truly witnessed the vast array of mysteries, their intertwining, and many even being diametrically opposed, Luo Feng felt somewhat bewildered and hesitant. Could he completely encompass them, and even perfectly integrate them into a single path?

Is this possible?

Can I do it?

"The more you learn, the more you realize just how high and how vast the sky truly is," Luo Feng smiled.

"This is more interesting!" Luo Feng's eyes burned with excitement. "This road is infinitely long! It means I can keep moving forward and keep climbing higher!"

"Let's take it one step at a time."

"Keep moving on the path of becoming stronger. The process of becoming stronger is also fascinating."

Luo Feng instantly calmed down.

Eat your food one bite at a time! That's how you digest it properly.

Luo Feng then began to carefully study these materials, meticulously analyzing each one and categorizing the mysteries of the runes. He then gradually absorbed those that suited his own path.

Returning to the 105th era of the Origin Continent, Luo Feng's Path of Life, in pursuit of a 'vast life form,' naturally led him to the God Emperor Early-Stage.

In the 139th era, on the Path of Destruction, the pursuit of ultimate destruction reached the God Emperor Early-Stage.

After reaching the God Emperor Early-Stage in both Life and Destruction, Luo Feng slowed down his pace in these two areas and focused on the 'Life-Death Fusion'. For him, the cultivation of the paths of life and destruction provided the most basic resources for the 'Life-Death Great Path'.

Therefore, the direction of life and destruction must be determined according to the needs of the 'Life-Death Path'.

"If the difficulty of reaching the God Emperor Early-Stage in terms of life and destruction is 1, then the difficulty of reaching the God Emperor Early-Stage in the Life-Death Fusion is at least 10." Luo Feng felt the hardship of the fusion process.

The God King Ultimate Realm, the 'Great Life-Death Great Path,' is formed by the fusion of nine branches; this is the seed.

The stronger the seed, the larger and more majestic the tree that grows from it.

Before they knew it, it was already the 269th century. Luo Feng's understanding of the Life-Death Path was still fraught with difficulties, and he had not yet reached the God Emperor Early-Stage. At this time Emperor Qing had already begun to invite Luo Feng to hunt again.

******

"Hunting? I'll prepare for a while, and we can set off within a decade," Luo Feng replied to Emperor Qing's invitation.

Emperor Qing naturally had no objections.

His ability to hunt after leaving the pass does not mean that Luo Feng is fully prepared.

They can set off within a decade; Luo Feng's journey is already fast enough.

"Call."

On the Origin Continent, Luo Feng, carrying a physical body with 390 times the 'Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve' and the storage treasure 'Illusory World Maze', began his return journey.

As for the 'Undying Heart' he exchanged in the Infinite Space, Luo Feng didn't bring it with him. His strength was still relatively weak, and carrying such a powerful treasure might only bring trouble. Furthermore, when he went hunting repeatedly, his weakened state made him vulnerable to death.

Once I can rival Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform at the God Emperor Completion-Level, acquiring the 'Undying Heart' will be much safer. At that point, my strength might approach that of the three Palace Masters, and even if I can't defeat them, I'll still have the power to protect myself.

"The Origin Continent absorbs energy quickly by utilizing Small Universe." Carrying a physical body with a vast energy reserve, Luo Feng finally returned to Rain Ripple City after nearly half a century.

They traveled between the Origin Continent and the Nine Rivers Holy World.

On one hand, it can send a lot of resources to the Origin Continent, which can then be observed using the Life-Death Eye. On the other hand, it can also send the energy reserves absorbed by the Origin Continent over.

All I need to pay is for the travel expenses.

"Let's go, let's set off!" With both sides well-prepared, Emperor Qing and Luo Feng began their team's second hunt.

"What?"

You broke through?

When Luo Feng hunted down his first Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform, the power he displayed astonished Emperor Qing.

Luo Feng killing his prey one-on-one wasn't surprising to Emperor Qing. But the ease and casualness of it all left him somewhat bewildered.

"You've reached the God Emperor Mid-Stage?" Emperor Qing looked at Luo Feng in disbelief. The power Luo Feng had just displayed was no less than that of Emperor Qing when he cast the array.

He, Emperor Qing, had worked so hard for so long, and one foot had long since stepped into the God Emperor Mid-Stage. But the other foot was still stuck outside. It seemed like he was just a little bit away from breaking through, but that little bit had been holding him back for a long time.

Luo Feng?

He's only been in Rain Ripple City for a few hundred epochs, and he's already God Emperor Mid-Stage?

"No," Luo Feng shook his head and explained, "I cultivate the two Great Daos of Life and Destruction, and now both of them have reached the God Emperor Early-Stage! The power of the two paths combined is why they are so strong."

"Cultivating two great paths simultaneously? And combining them so exquisitely?" Emperor Qing completely understood.

Those Enlightenment Seeker cultivate both paths to enlightenment are generally much stronger.

However, for God Emperor Early-Stage to rival a normal God Emperor Mid-Stage Enlightenment Seeker, the two paths must be perfectly coordinated! If they are not well coordinated, the improvement in strength will be limited.

Luo Feng has been studying the Dao of Life-Death Path for so long, researching the method of fusion. Merely coordinating? Naturally, the coordination is extremely exquisite.

"I always thought that since you've just arrived in the Nine Rivers Holy World, Brother Luo Feng, I would need to help you a bit in the early stages. Who would have thought that it would be you helping me on the second hunt?" Emperor Qing shook his head. "We also need to reconsider the distribution of our team's spoils."

"I don't have any secret treasures, just this pair of gloves." Luo Feng shook his head. "There are only a few who are stronger than Brother Emperor Qing, so there's no need to change the distribution ratio."

After all, Emperor Qing had been wandering around Rain Ripple City for a long time and was much wealthier. His secret treasure array diagram made up for some of Emperor Qing's shortcomings in his cultivation level.

Emperor Qing looked at Luo Feng and laughed, "Alright, next time we go hunting, we'll need to renegotiate the distribution ratio."

He knew it in his heart.

Even with the help of the secret treasure array diagram, the power he could unleash was close to that of Luo Feng.

But Luo Feng has multiple clones! The combined power of his Life and Destruction paths is terrifying. During the hunt, Luo Feng's achievements have now far surpassed those of Emperor Qing.

"We'll discuss the proportions again next time, but if the gap widens, we'll probably have to split up." Emperor Qing understood this.

He is still useful in the team.

His formations can be very useful during hunts. Taking 30% of the spoils isn't exactly a bargain.

But if Luo Feng's strength increases further in the future, Emperor Qing will be of no use at all, and there will be no point in forming a team.

"Luo Feng should have reached the God Emperor Early-Stage long ago, and now he has reached the God Emperor Early-Stage in both paths. That's why he has undergone such a transformation." Emperor Qing thought, "It will probably be a long time before he can greatly improve his strength, so there's no need to think about it too much for now."

During this second hunt, Emperor Qing had mixed feelings throughout, after all, he had become the one playing the support role!

This hunt went exceptionally smoothly, without any danger. They stopped after killing the nine-headed 'God Emperor Early-Stage' Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform.

"When we go out hunting, nine heads is the limit," Emperor Qing said. "The further we go, the greater the risk will be. There might even be Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform at the God Emperor Completion-Level targeting us."

"Alright, let's go back." Luo Feng listened to the advice. Although he was stronger now, Emperor Qing's hunting experience was much richer than his. Luo Feng felt that based on the other party's experience alone, it was only right to divide the spoils equally.
