"Ah, so this is what a Domain is!" Yin Congyang exclaimed. "No wonder Conception Level was the peak of the previous stages. Without reaching Planetary Level, you can't expand a Domain, let alone use one, so there's no way to comprehend it."
This was only the rudimentary beginnings of a Domain, and it didn't have much power yet. But just as going from nothing to something, from zero to one was the hardest part, the path from one to a hundred could be traced and followed, with steady improvement.
Yin Congyang sensed the nature of his Domain. It was a Domain of Gold.
"A Domain of Gold... Does that mean I'm inclined toward the Law of Gold?" Yin Congyang wondered. "But both my Mental Power Planet and my Origin Energy Planet are multicolored. They clearly don't belong to just one law. Could it be because the Thirty-Six Heaven-Opening Axes favor the Law of Gold? That's certainly possible. Gold is the most yang and most unyielding of the Five Elements, sharp beyond compare. It does fit the Thirty-Six Heaven-Opening Axes..."
Yin Congyang's guess was right. It was because of the Heaven-Opening Axe Technique that the first Domain he comprehended was the Domain of Gold. Given the multicolored nature of his Mental Power and Origin Energy, he could comprehend any of the Five Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, or earth. This showed how one's path of cultivation could affect one's Domain.
After exploring for a long time, he realized that his talent lay in mastering all Five Elements. He had no idea what such a talent should be called, so he simply gave it a name himself: Five Elements Hunyuan Body.
In the blink of an eye, it was June 2.
Yin Congyang suddenly received a call from Luo Hua. "Brother Yang, where are you? My brother... My brother, he's back... He's flying here from North America right now..."
Watching a replay on TV of Luo Feng killing Atkin, who was wearing the Black God Set, with a single blade fragment before soaring into the sky, Yin Congyang couldn't help feeling excited.
"Congratulations, Luo Hua. Your brother just got back, so you two probably have a lot to talk about. I'll visit him when he's free."
Yin Congyang hung up and gazed at the sky outside the window, his heart filled with longing for the world beyond.
The next morning, Luo Hua called and invited Yin Congyang over, saying Luo Feng wanted to have him as a guest. Yin Congyang gladly agreed, bringing along some fine Dragon Well tea he'd bought a few days earlier as he headed to the Luo family home.
From a distance, he saw Luo Feng and Luo Hua waiting at the entrance. He nodded to himself. Although Luo Feng was now a Star Level Spiritual Master, he still showed proper courtesy to someone who had helped his family.
He quickened his pace, then clasped his hands toward Luo Feng. "Mr. Luo, I've heard so much about you. Your reputation precedes you..."
Luo Feng paused. Was this guy always so amusing? He smiled. "I only got home yesterday and had a chance to reunite with my family. This morning, I had Luo Hua call you because I wanted to thank you in person for your help, Mr. Yin. Please, come in."
Yin Congyang followed Luo Feng and Luo Hua into the Luo family home and into the living room.
Luo Feng looked at Yin Congyang and said solemnly, "Mr. Yin, if you hadn't stepped in to help a few months ago, my family might have been in danger. I'm deeply grateful. From now on, you're a friend of the Luo family. If you ever need help, just ask. If it's within my power, I won't refuse!"
Luo Feng had his own principles, so although he was deeply grateful to Yin Congyang, he still qualified his promise: he wouldn't refuse if it was within his power. If it wasn't, there was naturally nothing he could do.
Yin Congyang handed the Dragon Well tea to Luo Hua, who was standing nearby, and smiled at Luo Feng. "You're too kind, Brother Luo Feng. It was just a fortunate coincidence. I happened to be there, and I couldn't just stand by and watch. Besides, I made a good friend in Luo Hua because of it. And Luo Hua already rewarded me, so if anything, I came out ahead."
"I also used that Moya Crystal to break through to Planetary Level a few days ago, so we both gained something," Yin Congyang said earnestly.
"Ah, you've already broken through?" Luo Hua exclaimed in delight. "Why didn't you tell me? I could've celebrated with you..."
Yin Congyang smiled at Luo Hua. "I only broke through a couple of days ago and was busy stabilizing my level. By the time I thought to tell you, your brother had just returned, so I figured I'd make it a surprise..."
Luo Hua gave him a helpless look.
Seeing Yin Congyang put it that way, Luo Feng didn't press the matter. He simply took it to heart, invited Yin Congyang to sit, and the three of them began chatting.
"Actually, this is the first time Brother Luo Feng and I have met, but I've seen you on TV killing monsters for a long time. On January 15 last year, you killed the Beast Emperor and slaughtered countless sea monsters. That was a tremendous service to humanity." Yin Congyang sighed. "It's a shame I was too weak to go outside the city and kill more monsters back then..."
"Ah..." Luo Feng thought back to more than a year ago. Without the Golden Horned Behemoth, Hong and Thunder God wouldn't have burned their souls and fallen into a coma, and Jia Yi and the others wouldn't have had to sacrifice themselves. He sighed, then remembered he still had a guest and pulled himself together. "By the way, what level were you at back then?"
"I was still a Primary Warrior," Yin Congyang said, looking a little embarrassed.
"What? Doesn't that mean you went from Primary Warrior to Planetary Level in just a year and a half?" Luo Hua cried in amazement. "What kind of cultivation speed is that? You're even faster than my brother..."
In Luo Hua's eyes, Luo Feng was unquestionably the greatest genius. He hadn't expected that his new friend, whom he'd only known for a short time, would be even more talented than his brother.
Luo Feng nodded slightly. "Yeah, he's faster than me. It took me quite a bit longer than Mr. Yin to go from Primary Warrior to Planetary Level..."
"Brother Luo Feng, you don't have to keep calling me Mr. Yin. Just call me Congyang. I've only just reached Planetary Level, so I still have a lot to learn from you!" Yin Congyang looked at Luo Feng. "And I have one favor to ask. I hope you'll agree!"
"Sure. I'll call you Congyang, and you can call me Luo Feng. Now that we're both Planetary Level, it's best if we treat each other as equals. It's a shame the Dojo Master and Thunder God don't know when they'll wake up..." Luo Feng said, his expression dimming. "You don't need to call it a favor. If it's something I can do, just ask."
Yin Congyang unconsciously lowered his voice a little. "I know you got some treasures from the ruins before. If... I mean, if you're able to leave Earth and enter the universe, could you take me with you? Honestly, I'm incredibly curious about the stars and seas beyond Earth. I really hope I can see the universe for myself..."
Luo Feng was taken aback by Yin Congyang's words. He was just as eager to explore the universe beyond Earth. He turned to Yin Congyang and answered seriously, "Congyang, you've said exactly what's in my heart. 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 your respects to Councilor Jia and the others? I admire them greatly too, and I've wanted to pay my respects for a long time. Unfortunately, I didn't have a fighter jet, and I hadn't reached Planetary Level back then, so I couldn't fly for long. I had no way to get there."
"I was planning to go after meeting you. Since you want to go too, let's go together. We can also stop by the Limit Dojo so I can see how the Dojo Master and Thunder God are doing." He turned to Luo Hua. "Are you coming, Luo Hua?"
Luo Hua shook his head. "You and Brother Yang go, Bro. I have some things to take care of at the company today. We'll talk more over dinner when you get back!"
Luo Feng nodded. "All right. Congyang and I will go and come back. We probably won't make it back by noon, but we'll be back for dinner."
After greeting his parents and wife, Luo Feng asked Yin Congyang, "Congyang, should we take a fighter jet or fly there?"
Yin Congyang thought for a moment. "Let's take the fighter jet. I've never been on a smart fighter jet before, and I don't have a good way to fly. I probably couldn't keep up with you, and you'd have to keep stopping to wait for me..."
Luo Feng nodded and remotely summoned the smart fighter jet, which landed at the entrance to the house. The two of them flew through the hatch, and the jet quickly took off, vanishing into the distance.
