Episode 12: The Long Years
Luo Feng crossed a distant time and space and arrived at a desolate void.
"Based on the spacetime location determined by the Xingmang, a spacetime anchor point is needed here." Luo Feng stood there, and with a thought, he began to create a holy realm using the 'Primal Chaos Life-Death Path' as its origin.
Creating a holy realm is similar to creating a lord's physical body, but it's much easier. Because there's no need to consider abilities like movement and combat, you only need to pursue efficiency in 'absorbing the Primal Chaos Force's and world stability.
Therefore, in terms of energy absorption efficiency, each holy realm can reach the average level of the true forms of the progenitors and lords.
"I am skilled in the Primal Chaos Life-Death Path and Death and the Primal Chaos Blade Path, but when it comes to creating Sacred Realms... the Life Path is still more effective." Luo Feng has recently created one Sacred Realm after another, which is a testament to his proficiency.
The Holy Realm, formed from the Primal Chaos Blade Path, is smaller in scale, has a lower energy absorption efficiency, and a harsher living environment.
The Holy Realm formed from the Chaos Origin Path of Primal Chaos Life-Death Path is called the 'Life Saint Realm' by Luo Feng, and it is much larger in scale! Its energy absorption efficiency is about three hundred times faster, and its living environment is better, making it more friendly to weak life forms.
Considering that the sacred realms he built would eventually house a large number of life forms, allowing Xing Zhe to multiply there, Luo Feng naturally chose to create the 'Life Saint Realm' as his primary focus.
"Rumble~~~"
It took twelve days to complete a perfect Life Saint Realm.
"Hmm." Luo Feng looked at the Holy Realm before him with satisfaction. "It's not easy for a Source World to be born from the Infinite Primal Chaos Space. But it's very easy for our Lord to create this slightly weaker Holy Realm."
Over 99% of Xing Zhe at the God Emperor stage are born from countless worlds.
It's because creating a Holy Realm is too easy. Luo Feng can create a Holy Realm in just twelve days. In the long years to come, the number of Holy Realms he creates will far exceed the number of Origin Source World under his command.
"The highest level of life born within the Holy Realm is only the World-tier Primal Chaos Realm. To this day, there isn't a single Lord." Luo Feng also looked forward to the day when a Lord would emerge from among the Xing Zhe of countless worlds. "Let's move on to the next place."
Suddenly--
"Luo Feng, come to the Council Hall immediately!" Xingmang transmitted his voice.
"Good."
Peak Master avatar continued to create one Life Saint Realm after another to serve as anchor points in spacetime. At the same time, his avatar also arrived at the Council Hall of the Initial Land.
The Initial Land, the Council Hall.
The eight lords' clones gathered together.
"Why did you suddenly summon us?" Lord Naigu asked, as he had been in seclusion cultivating.
"Our original plan was to wait until the new territory was built and everyone had some free time before discussing the distribution of spoils," Xingmang said, sitting there. "However, when I was exchanging faction resources to build the Space-Time Net, I discovered that Elder Brother had privately misappropriated a lot of resources."
"Resources were misappropriated?" Luo Feng and the others were all somewhat surprised.
The eight lords were all very disciplined in their conduct.
The spoils are divided into ten portions, one for each faction, and the remainder is shared by all factions! If a lord needs to use them, they must exchange them.
"I'm going to try to create a Source World," Yuan said with a smile. "Creating Source World is fraught with difficulties and requires resources from the corpses of the progenitors. So I've secretly used the corpses of two progenitors and some other resources."
"Two ancestral corpses?" Minghuang frowned.
"Brother Yuan, in our recent war, we have obtained a total of eight ancestral corpses, and some of them are not intact." Jin said, looking at Yuan.
Only remains of figures like the Dark Peng Progenitor and the Wind Devouring Progenitor.
"I took the corpses of Nightmare and Thousand Eyes," Yuan said. "Their corpses are the most complete and suitable for creating the 'Source World.' Even with their corpses, success is not guaranteed. I may need some progenitor corpses."
The seven lords were all speechless.
"My contribution should be sufficient, so deduct it all directly," Yuan said.
"Elder brother, your contributions are certainly immense. Over the countless years, you have sacrificed much for the clan, much of it using resources you personally provided," Xingmang said. "Even if you took all the ancestral corpses, it would be a minor matter."
Luo Feng and the others all acknowledged Yuan's contributions.
For example, in the recent war, during negotiations with the Ice Peak Faction, Yuan personally contributed a lot of resources and also used his personal connections to win over Xiusaiwei and his group.
In terms of sacrifice, Yuan has already sacrificed a great deal! Much more than these few progenitor corpses.
"Brother Elder, when we're distributing the spoils, you can ask for the corpses back, and we can give them to you," Xingmang said. "But before the distribution even takes place, you've already misappropriated them... I think you're no longer suitable to safeguard the spoils. The resources of the entire Cultivator Faction are no longer suitable to be stored in the 'Initial Land'."
The Initial Land is Mysterious Land controlled by the Primal.
In the past, everyone trusted Yuan.
The distribution of spoils was overseen by Yuan. Yuan was also in charge of managing the process before the distribution.
Over the long years, there has never been a problem.
"Brother Yuan, this misappropriation is nothing. Xingmang is right. From now on, you are no longer suitable to manage faction resources," Minghuang said.
To safeguard the resources of your faction, you must abide by the rules.
"I know, I know." Yuan sighed helplessly. "Xingmang is right. From now on, I won't keep the faction's resources and spoils of war. I can't control myself if I keep them."
Luo Feng, Xingmang, Wulan, Minghuang, and the others exchanged glances, all sensing something was amiss.
A lord who can't control himself?
"Yuan, are you alright?" Wulan asked worriedly.
Everyone was looking at Yuan, who was dressed in brightly colored clothes.
"I think it's pretty good," Yuan said, looking at his companion.
Luo Feng had a headache.
The situation is not good.
"Luo Feng, will the faction resources be placed with you from now on? Or with my Time Star?" Xingmang looked at Luo Feng. Apart from Yuan, only the two of them had access to the Mysterious Land.
"Keep it with you; it'll be easy to access it," Luo Feng said.
"Alright." The other lords all agreed. They trusted Xingmang because of his long history of action.
"Brother Yuan, leave me some of the flesh and blood from those two corpses that were taken away," Naigu said. Regardless of whether he could refine them or not, he would try his best to collect enough flesh and blood from the ancestor's corpses to refine his bloodline.
"No problem." Yuan agreed readily. "I'll also take some scrap materials from these two corpses and leave them in the faction's resources, so everyone can exchange for them."
Taking this opportunity, everyone also divided up the spoils.
However, apart from Yuan, the other seven lords were not in a good mood.
"Elder Brother, something's wrong." They were all very worried about this elder brother. He had devoted countless years to this project, and now he had achieved great success and completely unified all the Source World. Was something wrong with Elder Brother?
As time flowed on, the seven lords gradually gained a better understanding of Yuan's situation.
Yuan, at least, was clear-headed and remained wholeheartedly devoted to the entire Cultivator Faction. As for other aspects? He was somewhat 'unrestrained' and 'unconventional'. This relieved the seven lords; it was much better than they had expected.
In the blink of an eye, more than 30 million years have passed since the great war.
During this long period, although a handful of World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform dared to attempt to devour the Source World, they were all met with Thunder retaliation from the eight lords!
Anyone who dares to devour the Source World, no matter where they hide, will be killed!
As for the progenitors? The progenitors were very patient; a mere tens of millions of years was still a short time for them. None of the progenitors who were not immortal dared to devour the Source World.
Instead, the Three Emperors of Wind Thunder Sea deliberately provoked them. They had devoured some Source World, but they were also severely punished by the eight lords of the Xing Zhe. Nearly half of their territory was destroyed, and nearly half of their race was captured as servants! This made the Three Emperors of Wind Thunder Sea furious, but seeing that more than half of their race remained, they stopped provoking them.
"The Cultivator Faction's rule over all Source World can be considered stable."
Luo Feng sat alone, cross-legged in his Mysterious Land, 'Silver River Territory', his gaze sweeping across the endless vast space and time, passing over numerous Source World.
After a long period of development, the more than three billion Source World within his territory have all entered a normal state. As agreed by the lords, after annihilating the residual power of the Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform and leaving behind some basic inheritance, these Source World life forms will be allowed to evolve naturally! They will not interfere.
"Over thirty million years, my third path, the 'Path of Matter,' has only reached the God King Ultimate Realm." Luo Feng chuckled self-deprecatingly.
They haven't even started cultivating to the God Emperor stage yet, let alone the 'Half Primal Chaos to primordial' stage, which is billions of times more difficult.
"At this rate, I might be stuck at the 'Semi- Primal Chaos Matter Path' stage forever," Luo Feng vaguely deduced.
"I should focus on practicing my swordsmanship!"
Because progress on the Path of Matter was far too slow, Luo Feng gradually shifted most of his energy to swordsmanship. At least on this path, he could still see his strength improving at a 'very slow' pace.
In the more than 30 million years, in addition to perfecting the original battle tactics, Peak Master created two sword techniques.
"My two strongest sword techniques right now."
"The first sword technique, the 'Abyssal Blade Technique,' was created by comprehending the power of the Abyss of Destruction." With a thought, Luo Feng's share of the Abyss of Destruction's power manifested before his eyes.
Luo Feng, after all, possessed the 'Primal Chaos Blade Path' which focused on Abyss of Destruction, and was able to study some of the mysteries of the Abyss of Destruction's power.
The more Luo Feng studied it, the more incredible it seemed!
This is a power that encompasses 34 Destruction Power, perfectly integrated into one.
Within this power, Luo Feng discovered some methods for combining different powers. He attempted to combine five powers: the Primal Chaos Blade Path, the Primal Chaos Life-Death Path and Death Dao, the Indestructible Power, the Power of Shadow, and the Abyss of Abyss of Destruction Power borrowed from the Mysterious Land.
Thus, the "Abyssal Blade Technique" came into being!
As Luo Feng's research deepens and the coordination of the five forces becomes more refined, the power of this sword technique will slowly increase.
"The second sword technique utilizes the 'Blood Shadow Blade's' ability to cut through all matter and energy, creating the most suitable sword technique, 'Blood Shadow Blade Technique'."
Luo Feng continued to calm himself down.
Compared to the Path of Matter, he preferred to spend his energy on these two sword techniques.
"Luo Feng." A voice rang out.
Luo Feng turned his head and saw a figure crossing time and space, it was Xingmang.
"The infrastructure for all the Space-Time Teleportation channels is now complete," Xingmang said with a smile. "I'm also taking a break for a while. I mentioned before that I needed your help to accompany me to a Mysterious Land. Do you have time now?"
Xingmang had mentioned this a long time ago.
"I'm very free," Luo Feng said with a smile. His swordsmanship training required a long period of accumulation and he couldn't rush it.
"Let's go." Xingmang nodded and immediately led Luo Feng away.
