Luo Feng's Return

"So this is a domain!" Yin Congyang exclaimed in amazement. "No wonder the previous peak of comprehension was the Conception Level—without reaching the Planetary Level, you can't expand a domain externally or even execute it, so naturally there's no way to comprehend it."

This was merely the most rudimentary embryonic form of a domain, hardly possessing any power yet. But just as going from nothing to something, from zero to one, is the hardest step, going from one to a hundred leaves a traceable path for gradual improvement.

Yin Congyang sensed the substance of the domain. It was the Domain of Gold.

"The Domain of Gold... does that mean I lean toward the Law of Gold?" Yin Congyang wondered with some confusion. "But my Mental Power Planet and Origin Energy Planet are both multicolored, clearly not a single law. Could it be because the Thirty-Six Heaven-Opening Axes lean toward the Law of Gold? That's very possible. Gold represents supreme yang and supreme hardness, sharp and unmatched—it fits perfectly with the Heaven-Opening Axe technique..."

Yin Congyang's guess was correct. It was precisely because of the Heaven-Opening Axe technique that he first comprehended the Domain of Gold. With the multicolored nature of his mental power and origin energy, he could comprehend any of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. This was the influence of one's cultivation direction on the domain.

After exploring for a long time, he realized his talent was mastery over all five elements. He didn't know what this talent should be called, so he simply named it himself: the Five Elements Hunyuan Body.

Time flew to June 2nd.

Yin Congyang suddenly received a call from Luo Hua. "Yang-ge, where are you? My brother... my brother, my brother is back... flying over from North America right now..."

Watching the replay on TV of Luo Feng killing Atkin, who was wearing the Black God Set, with a single blade, then soaring into the sky, Yin Congyang couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

"Congratulations, Luo Hua... Your brother just got back, so you two probably have a lot to talk about. When your brother has time, I'll go visit him."

Yin Congyang hung up the phone, looked out the window at the sky, and couldn't help but yearn for the world beyond.

The next morning, Luo Hua called to invite Yin Congyang, saying Luo Feng wanted him to come over as a guest. Yin Congyang gladly agreed, picked up some high-quality Longjing tea he'd bought a few days earlier, and headed to Luo Feng's house.

From a distance, he saw Luo Feng and Luo Hua waiting at the door. He nodded inwardly. Although Luo Feng was now actually a Star-Level Spiritual Master, he still maintained proper courtesy toward someone who had helped his family.

Quickening his pace, he approached and clasped his fists at Luo Feng. "Mr. Luo, I've long admired your reputation—it thunders in my ears..."

Luo Feng was taken aback. This guy talks so interestingly, huh? He smiled slightly. "I just got home yesterday and spent time with my family. This morning I had Luo Hua call you to personally thank Mr. Yin for your timely help... Please, come in."

Yin Congyang followed Luo Feng and Luo Hua into the Luo residence and arrived at the living room.

Luo Feng looked at Yin Congyang seriously and said, "Mr. Yin, if you hadn't stepped in a few months ago, my family might have been in danger. I'm deeply grateful. From now on, you are a friend of the Luo family. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask. If I can do it, I won't refuse!"

Luo Feng had his own principles, so while he was very grateful to Yin Congyang, he still left room in his promise, indicating he wouldn't refuse what he could do—but what he couldn't, naturally, there was no way.

Yin Congyang handed the Longjing tea to Luo Hua beside him and smiled at Luo Feng. "Brother Luo Feng, you're too kind. It was just a coincidence—I happened to be there and couldn't just stand by. Besides, because of this, I got to know a good friend like Luo Hua. And Luo Hua already rewarded me long ago, so really, I came out ahead."

"Also, a few days ago, I broke through to the Planetary Level thanks to that Moya Crystal," Yin Congyang said earnestly. "So we both gained something."

"Ah, you already broke through?" Luo Hua exclaimed in surprise. "Why didn't you tell me? I would have celebrated with you..."

Yin Congyang smiled at Luo Hua. "I only broke through two days ago and was busy stabilizing my realm. By the time I wanted to tell you, your brother had just come back, so I thought I'd give you a surprise..."

Luo Hua shot him a speechless look.

Seeing Yin Congyang say this, Luo Feng didn't insist further but kept it in his heart. He invited Yin Congyang to sit, and the three of them chatted together.

"Speaking of which, Brother Luo Feng, this is the first time you've met me, but I've long seen your heroic feats of killing monsters on TV. On January 15th last year, you killed the Beast Emperor and slaughtered a huge number of sea monsters—truly a boundless merit," Yin Congyang said with emotion. "It's a pity I was too weak back then and couldn't go outside the city to kill more monsters..."

"Sigh," Luo Feng thought back to over a year ago. If not for the Golden Horned Behemoth, Hong and Thunder God wouldn't have burned their souls and fallen into slumber, and Jia Yi and the others wouldn't have had to sacrifice themselves. He sighed, then remembered the guest before him and pulled himself together. "By the way, what strength were you at back then?"

"Back then, I was still a Primary Warrior," Yin Congyang said a bit sheepishly.

"What? That means it only took you a year and a half to go from Primary Warrior to Planetary Level?" Luo Hua exclaimed in shock. "What kind of cultivation speed is that? Even faster than you, bro..."

In Luo Hua's mind, Luo Feng was naturally the most talented, but he never expected this newly made friend to be even more gifted than his brother.

Luo Feng nodded slightly. "Yeah, faster than me. It took me much longer to go from Primary Warrior to Planetary Level than Mr. Yin..."

"Brother Luo Feng, stop calling me Mr. Yin. Just call me Congyang. I've just entered the Planetary Level and still need your guidance!" Yin Congyang looked at Luo Feng. "I also have an impertinent request—I hope Brother Luo Feng can agree!"

"Alright, I'll call you Congyang, and you call me Luo Feng. Now that we're both at the Planetary Level, it's best to treat each other as peers. It's a pity the Dojo Master and Thunder God don't know when they'll wake up..." Luo Feng said somewhat gloomily. "Don't talk about impertinent requests. As long as I can do it, just say it."

Yin Congyang unconsciously lowered his voice. "I know you once obtained some treasures from the ruins. If... I mean, if you can leave Earth and enter the universe, could you take me along? To be honest, I have a very strong curiosity about the starry seas beyond Earth! I really hope to see the universe..."

Luo Feng was startled by Yin Congyang's words. He too yearned for the universe beyond Earth. He said seriously to Yin Congyang, "Congyang, what you said hits home for me. Alright, if I can leave Earth, I'll definitely take you with me!"

Yin Congyang was overjoyed. "Haha, then thank you, Brother Luo Feng. By the way, when are you going to pay respects to Councilor Jia and the others? I admire them greatly and have long wanted to go, but I don't have a fighter jet, and I hadn't broken through to the Planetary Level back then, so I couldn't fly long distances."

"I was planning to go after meeting you. Since you want to come too, let's go together to pay our respects. I'll also take you to the Limit Dojo to see how the Dojo Master and Thunder God are doing," he turned to ask Luo Hua, "Are you coming, Luo Hua?"

Luo Hua shook his head. "Bro, you and Yang-ge go ahead. I have to handle some company matters today. We'll talk when you come back for dinner!"

Luo Feng nodded. "Alright, Congyang and I will go and come back. We probably won't make it for lunch, so we'll be back for dinner."

After greeting his parents and wife, Luo Feng said to Yin Congyang, "Congyang, should we take the fighter jet or fly?"

Yin Congyang thought for a moment. "Let's take the fighter jet. I've never ridden in a smart fighter before. Besides, I don't have a good flying tool—I probably can't keep up with you, and you'd have to stop and wait for me..."

Luo Feng nodded, remotely summoned the smart fighter to land at the doorstep. The two flew into the cabin, and the fighter quickly took off, vanishing into the distance.
