In the blink of an eye, Morosa had been in seclusion for half a century.
“Morosa’s transformation this time sure is taking a fair bit of time,” Luo Feng sat atop a pavilion in the city owner’s mansion, sensing Morosa’s condition within the Star Tower with just a thought. Of the corpse materials he gave, Morosa had devoured about two-thirds, leaving the rest untouched.
At this moment, Morosa was in deep slumber, and his aura was transforming very slowly.
“His aura has already become stronger than Emperor Gui Xu and Wuxin God King, and it’s still transforming…” Luo Feng revealed a smile, “I believe once the transformation is successful, he will be at the Ultimate Realm.”
The Ultimate Realm!
In this era, only Emperor Qing and the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms had attained a complete Great Dao through their own understanding.
Emperors and Monarchs could wield strength comparable to the Ultimate Realm with the help of numerous super secret treasures. However, when it came to techniques and the subtlety of their moves, naturally, they were no match for those truly at the Ultimate Realm.
Although the Sector Beast reached the Ultimate Realm merely by eating and drinking, it was genuinely at the Ultimate Realm, with extremely refined moves.
“Once Morosa breaks through and becomes Ultimate Realm, many things I want to do can be done,” Luo Feng said, cradling a cup of wine, looking at the snowflakes drifting within Huyang City.
Now he still acted with restraint because his every action could not be completely concealed! The various probing methods of the two ancient countries, whether from the aspect of time and space or causality, could trace many clues.
“Once Morosa grasps a complete Great Dao, he will be free from causality, achieving the Great Dao to Perfection, without leaving a trace.”
Luo Feng knew this.
A complete Great Dao had many powerful aspects.
With the Great Dao at Perfection, its operation could weaken all attacks… Even Luo Feng’s Spiritual Will Attack would be weakened.
As the realm increased, what seemed like the mysterious ‘Spiritual Will Attack’ lost its mystery. With a complete Great Dao in hand, it could be resisted and weakened to some extent! And if one was Beyond God King level, the means of defense would be even stronger. Even the ‘Beyond God King Level Weapons’ they refined had the effect of weakening will attacks.
After all, will attacks were but a branch of the Soul Path.
If it was a complete soul method, it would infiltrate and attack from various aspects, naturally much more terrifying.
Pure will attacks were very advantageous in the Land of Origin! After all, those who mastered a complete Great Dao were few and far between.
In the future, however, should he leave the Land of Origin and meet opponents like the Three Alien Clans, Ancestors of countries, and so on, his Spiritual Will help would weaken, and even Luo Feng’s Spiritual Will might not be as strong as the opponent’s.
“My cultivation time is still too short, and I’m only at the Second Realm of Godly King. Slowly does it, no rush.” Luo Feng had a clear plan for his path of cultivation. During his period in the Land of Origin, he had two objectives concerning cultivation.
One was to reach the Ultimate Realm. The other was to be patient enough to comprehend the high-level secret techniques from a lower realm, preferring to cultivate more slowly but refine his comprehension.
“Master.”
A figure walked through the snow and came to the pavilion, respectfully saluting; it was Luo Feng’s second disciple, ‘Xin Yu’.
“Come up,” Luo Feng put down his wine cup, smiling at his disciple.
Among the disciples of the Blade River Sect, the one with the highest talent was Xin Yu, who made rapid progress along the way and was now at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm. He had no interest in managing the sect’s trivial matters and was solely focused on cultivation.
Xin Yu, dressed in a blue robe, respectfully saluted: “Master, I’ve cultivated the Heaven Splitting Branch and the Mixed Heaven Branch to their bottlenecks, but I can’t take the final step and truly grasp the Great Dao Branch.”
“Xin Yu, you’ve reached the Primal Chaos Realm in just over two centuries. To have reached the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm is already quite remarkable,” Luo Feng looked at his disciple, “But you should know, the Imperial Clan of the ancient countries, the first rank marquis, can reach the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm in just a hundred years with enough resources.”
“Disciple knows his talent is nothing in the whole Land of Origin,” Xin Yu looked at Luo Feng, his eyes burning with passion, “Master, you only spent several years to become transcendent in the Primal Chaos Realm.
“Ha ha…” Luo Feng laughed.
Indeed, he became transcendent in the Primal Chaos Realm in just a few years. With his Perfect Divine Body and the Formless Transformation Technique, he possessed the strength of Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm. At that time, the outside world suspected Luo Feng to be the reincarnation of some Godly King.
“What I want to tell you is, even if the Imperial Clan and marquis of the ancient countries reach the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm early on, many will be stuck at the bottleneck for a lifetime, unable to become Godly Kings,” Luo Feng looked at his disciple.
“Stuck at the bottleneck for a lifetime?” Xin Yu’s heart tightened.
“The cultivation of the Primal Chaos Realm involves only the gradual comprehension of the branches of the Great Dao and slow accumulation. However, to truly comprehend a branch of the Great Dao requires an epiphany,” said Luo Feng.
“Epiphany?” Xin Yu was puzzled.
“An epiphany cannot be forced,” Luo Feng said, “The key lies in ‘extensive accumulation that leads to swift success’. What you need to do now is not comprehend the branches of the Great Dao, but rather, you should study the emperor-level secret techniques. Comprehending one secret technique means reaching the Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm. Comprehend two or three secret techniques… the more secret techniques you understand, the closer you are to the Great Dao.”
“One day, you will naturally comprehend the branch of the Great Dao,” Luo Feng continued.
“To comprehend the Godly King secret techniques, the more I understand, the closer I am to the Great Dao?” Xin Yu asked, “Master, how many Godly King secret techniques do I need to comprehend to become a Godly King?”
“You’re mistaken.”
Luo Feng shook his head, “The more you crave for the comprehension of the Great Dao, the further you are from it! Do not seek the branches of the Great Dao, but focus on comprehending the secret techniques. Gradually accumulate and one day, the breakthrough will occur naturally.”
“Only with sound accumulation at each realm will you be able to go farther on the Godly King path,” Luo Feng looked at his disciple.
“Focus on comprehending the secret techniques, not pursuing the branches of the Great Dao? I understand,” Xin Yu respectfully saluted, “Disciple takes his leave.”
Luo Feng nodded.
Luo Feng was very clear that focusing solely on comprehending Godly King Secret Techniques, without pursuing branches of the Great Dao, set an extremely high threshold for cultivation. For those with average comprehension, it would be quite an achievement to comprehend a single Godly King Secret Technique in their lifetime.
“Being my disciple, your goals should be more ambitious. Otherwise, spending a lifetime as an ordinary Godly King, what’s the point?” Luo Feng naturally had expectations for his second disciple, Xin Yu.
…
In the Land of Origin, within a concealed world named ‘Mother River World.’
This was the heart of the resistance force against the Flame Wind Ancient Country.
“This black-robed gold-faced powerhouse is extremely strong! His Physical Body is no less than that of an Ultimate Realm Life Form, and his Spiritual Will is even Beyond God King Level,” God King Zongfu softly shook his head, “The dual strength of body and soul is so powerful that even the purple-robed woman was defeated by him… With such a terrifying strength, how can he remain so detached from the world?”
“The most pinnacle existences on the Land of Origin, including the Sector Beast of Tianmu Kingdom and the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms, are all acting covertly to battle for resources! This black-robed figure, does he not care about resources?”
“The pinnacle existences of the Land of Origin who stay out of worldly affairs are Wind City Empress and Fire Ancestor!” God King Zongfu said, “With the support of the Ancestor of the East Extreme Domain, Wind City Empress naturally doesn’t need to fight for resources. As for Fire Ancestor… it’s said that after Fire Ancestor met Yuan and received guidance from Yuan, he no longer needed to compete and devoted himself to cultivation.”
“What’s the black-robe’s reason for not competing?”
God King Zongfu was somewhat puzzled. “He only made a move once in the Dream Domain, and we’ve never seen any trace of him in other treasure lands. All those resources, he’s just going to watch and not care? With his strength, he could take a lot!”
“Being suppressed for long years by the two Ancient Countries, once one attains the strength of an Emperor or Monarch Level, they usually can’t help but compete for resources,” lamented Yu Fu God King.
“As the Source World of the Land of Origin gradually enters its end stage, anyone with a bit of ambition competes. I thought we might have an additional ally… By joining forces, we could take more from the two Ancient Countries,” God King Zongfu shook his head, “Who would have thought that after parting in the Dream Domain, we would never see him again.”
As the leader of the entire Mother River Force, God King Zongfu naturally participated in battles over numerous treasure lands.
He too longed to obtain more precious resources and to assemble a complete set of Primordial Bloodline!
The black-robed powerhouse… seemed like a casual cultivator, and God King Zongfu was very welcoming of that!
But it seemed that the black-robed powerhouse was too low-key and didn’t care much for the treasure lands’ resources.
God King Zongfu and Yu Fu God King had no idea that Luo Feng had only been a Godly King for just over three centuries while the so-called end stage of the Land of Origin had tens of billions of centuries, so Luo Feng didn’t feel any urgency at all.
…
Within Huyang City, in the Quiet Room of the city owner’s mansion, inside the Star Tower.
Luo Feng had been studying the newly acquired materials from the ‘Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline Creatures’ corpses, which gave insight into fifteen life forms at the Ultimate Realm level, including the ‘Twenty-four Forms’ as one of those life forms.
These three Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline Creatures, in their most basic life configuration, each embodied multiple Forms.
Combining Six Forms meant combining six different life forms into one, which was truly marvelous.
The material inherited in their bloodline was equally miraculous, but Luo Feng, with little accumulation in the ‘Origin Dao of Matter,’ didn’t understand it.
“Examining these materials with my own eyes has considerably improved my understanding of life forms.”
Luo Feng’s spiritual consciousness also penetrated the Star Tower, observing its vast and endless Secret Patterns.
The Secret Patterns of the Star Tower.
They included various categories, with life-related Secret Patterns being the most numerous, accounting for about one-third, and being absolutely central.
“These life Secret Patterns can merge multiple forms into one,” Luo Feng discovered, and the life Secret Patterns on the superficial layers of the Star Tower resembled the fifteen life forms, which swiftly aided Luo Feng in sorting out the classifications.
As Luo Feng’s research deepened, the source of countless Secret Patterns, ‘blood-red scales with twelve colors,’ seemed increasingly terrifying.
“Hm?” Luo Feng was bewildered for a moment.
The blood-red scales radiated a horrifying, evil blood light, so much so that they seemed like an endless sea of blood enveloping Luo Feng’s spirit, making even someone as strong-willed as he was tremble in fear, prompting him to immediately cease his observation.
“What’s going on?” Luo Feng sat cross-legged inside the Star Tower.
“As my research deepens, these blood-red scales become even more terrifying?” Luo Feng calmed his mental state and soon revealed an excited smile, “Then I’ll face it head-on!”
Facing it, studying it.
Incorporating all the elements that invoked terror into the creation of his Secret Techniques.
This was Luo Feng’s initial response when he first encountered the enormous eye in the dreamscape.
Luo Feng immersed himself in cultivation once more, constantly attempting to interpret the ‘blood-red scales’ using the nine branches of life and death. This time, Luo Feng felt he had a deeper understanding of the blood-red scales and that his creation of Secret Techniques might bear fruit.
The various powers of the Land of Origin, ever since the black-robed gold-faced powerhouse made a move in the Dream Domain, were very keen on his next action…

But Luo Feng was devoted to cultivation and was also waiting for Morosa’s transformation.
Unconsciously, more than half a century had passed.
“Hm?”
“Still not successful.” Inside the Star Tower, Luo Feng gently shook his head, “My understanding of the Star Tower is still not deep enough; I can’t create a merged technique for the nine branches of life and death.”
“I’ve barely understood the ‘Eighth Branch Merged Technique’.”
