Chapter 162: Members of the Shadow Sky World

Luo Feng sensed the imprint in his palm and began to inspect the Infinite Space Treasury.

Within the treasury, he could view resources that did not exceed his own reward points.

The information within the treasury had changed drastically.

Ranked first among the inheritance information—

“The Chaos Array Diagram Volume One” (Perfect-Level Inheritance), requires 10,081 reward points to exchange. It also requires the ‘Origin Path of Space’ to be cultivated to the limit of the Divine King’s second realm to begin learning.

“Destruction of the Nine Realms” second and third realms (Perfect-Level Inheritance), requires 10,000 reward points to exchange, corresponding to the Divine King’s second realm…

“The Path of the Beginning” first step (Perfect-Level Inheritance), requires 10,000 reward points to exchange, corresponding to the Divine King’s second realm. It requires both the Origin Path of Matter and the Origin Path of Infinity to reach the Divine King’s second realm before it can be learned.

…

“The Eight Tribulations Life Form” fourth and fifth tribulations, requires 10,000 reward points to exchange, Divine King’s ultimate realm chapter.

…

“World Life Form” second chapter (Special Inheritance), requires 3,000 reward points to exchange, Divine King’s second realm chapter.

…

“The Eight Tribulations Life Form” second and third tribulations, requires 500 reward points to exchange, Divine King’s second realm chapter.

…

Luo Feng scanned through the densely packed inheritance information.

“A perfect-level inheritance for the Divine King’s second realm chapter requires about 10,000 reward points.”

“A special-level inheritance for the Divine King’s second realm chapter requires about 3,000 points.”

“A high-level inheritance for the Divine King’s second realm chapter costs around 500 points, with the ultimate chapter costing about 10,000 points.”

“A mid-level inheritance for the Divine King’s ultimate realm only costs 2,000 points.”

Luo Feng gained a clear understanding of the exchange prices for these inheritances. He also realized how generous his master, Emperor Chu, had been in gifting him the entire “Eight Tribulations Life Form” and “Seventy-Two Slash Annihilation” up to the Divine King’s ultimate realm chapters for free.

According to the Infinite Space’s exchange system, the value of these would be roughly 20,000 reward points.

“No wonder the experts from the two ancient kingdoms on the Origin Continent consider this treasury to be the most basic one.” Luo Feng thought, “It’s extremely difficult for them to earn reward points, and in their kingdoms, they can easily acquire high-level inheritances! What still attracts them to Infinite Space must be the perfect and special-level inheritances.”

“However, these inheritances are too expensive, and earning reward points is far too difficult.”

Luo Feng understood this well.

Even with his chaos-level body and Divine King’s ultimate realm will, he had only earned 10,000 reward points. But based on Luo Feng’s knowledge, if one only had a Divine King’s first realm body but achieved the Divine King’s ultimate realm will, they would only earn 1,000 reward points.

Thus, for those ancient beings, exchanging for a special-level inheritance at the Divine King’s second realm was incredibly difficult.

Yet, many ancient beings still kept their consciousness within this place!

‘Opening a new path’ and ‘spiritual will’ were two paths that were too difficult for the Divine Kings. Even comprehending an existing path branch was already extremely difficult, let alone opening a new branch. The difficulty increased exponentially.

The ancient beings in Infinite Space usually accumulated reward points by hunting native creatures. Although each creature had to be killed multiple times, and it would take a long time to accumulate roughly 5 points, with enough time, they could kill ten, a hundred creatures… Eventually, they could accumulate enough reward points.

“I’ll exchange for three more inheritances.” Luo Feng did not hesitate and exchanged for three more special-level inheritances, all corresponding to the Divine King’s first realm chapters.

“Life Evolution Diagram” introductory chapter (Special-Level Inheritance), requires 30 reward points to exchange, Divine King’s first realm chapter. This inheritance is entirely focused on the ‘Origin Path of Life’. Although it couldn’t utilize Luo Feng’s ‘formless and invisible’ ability, its research on life was even more detailed than that of the “World Life Form.”

“Chaos Beast Body” first transformation (Special-Level Inheritance), requires 30 reward points to exchange, Divine King’s first realm chapter. This inheritance is focused on the ‘Origin Path of Destruction’ and can cultivate an indestructible and powerful body with tremendous destructive power.

“Destruction Drifter” first chapter (Special-Level Inheritance), requires 30 reward points to exchange, Divine King’s first realm chapter. This inheritance pursues the ultimate path of destruction and devastation.

“Now, I have two special-level inheritances for the Origin Path of Life: ‘World Life Form’ and ‘Life Evolution Diagram.’ I also have two special-level inheritances for the Origin Path of Destruction: ‘Chaos Beast Body’ and ‘Destruction Drifter’… However, as described here, special-level inheritances can only be exchanged up to the Divine King’s ultimate realm.”

Luo Feng also realized this problem.

Both perfect-level and special-level inheritances capped at the Divine King’s ultimate realm chapters. If one wished to go further, the creator would have to teach them personally.

However, high-level inheritances did offer content beyond the Divine King’s ultimate realm.

“No matter what, at least I can build a deeper foundation during the Divine King stage.” Luo Feng had been too poor before and had to be careful with his reward points. Now that he had become more affluent, he could afford to have the best possible conditions at each stage.

As for perfect-level inheritances? The threshold for cultivation was too high, and forcing oneself to practice without meeting the requirements would lead to numerous negative consequences. Luo Feng wouldn’t be blindly overconfident.

“Hopefully, with the help of these special-level inheritances, my life form will advance even further.” Luo Feng had accumulated profound knowledge over a hundred epochs during his seclusion. He had comprehended six different Trinity Forms.

“I wonder if, while still at the chaos-level, I can comprehend the most perfect ‘Ten Directions World Form’ for the chaos-level.” Luo Feng was now striving toward this goal.

The Ten Directions World Form contained the mysteries of six life branches. In theory, if all six branches were cultivated to the peak of the chaos-level, it was possible to comprehend it.

But in reality, even Divine Kings who had mastered three or four branches found it difficult to comprehend the Ten Directions World Form. Only when all six branches were fully understood would it be easier to comprehend.

As a chaos-level being, Luo Feng had not mastered any path branches, so forcibly comprehending the Ten Directions World Form was an exceedingly challenging task.

Even with his spiritual will at the Divine King’s ultimate realm, numerous special-level inheritances, and the consumption of the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit and Pure Heart Spirit Liquid, this goal remained extremely difficult.

“Striving for higher-level secret techniques with a lower-level realm. Even if I fail, it will still sharpen my comprehension.” Luo Feng maintained a calm state of mind, only striving in that direction.

Even if he failed in the end, his understanding would still improve, which was also a gain.

…

Fengzhang City.

Moyu Qingyan and his wife were warmly welcomed by the Zhang Clan. Zhang Yunge had never been in such high spirits before. The couple stayed with many friends and relatives for a long time before finally bidding farewell to everyone.

“It’s time to go to Huyang City.” On a flying boat, Morosa, Moyu Qingyan, and his wife stood at the front of the cabin, along with some attendants inside.

“We originally planned to stay in Fengzhang City for ten or twenty days, but ended up staying for over a thousand days.” Moyu Qingyan sighed.

“No choice,” his wife Zhang Yunge smiled, “As you saw, there are too many royal descendants. Even the most important relatives and friends are many in number, and many invitations from my father and others couldn’t be refused.”

Moyu Qingyan nodded and looked at Morosa, “Second Master, how long until we reach Huyang City?”

“About a day.” Morosa answered casually.

If he had fully revealed his power, it would only have taken a few moments to arrive.

“My father and elder brother have been waiting for us for a long time.” Moyu Qingyan was eager to return home. As cultivators, forming a dao partnership was a private matter and did not need to be reported to parents.

However, both Moyu Qingyan and Zhang Yunge had deep family bonds, so after becoming dao partners, they visited their parents and elders.

Whoosh—

As the flying boat traversed the void, a shadow watched from a distance.

“They’ve been hiding in Fengzhang City for so long.” The shadow was quite annoyed. Fengzhang City was, after all, the residence of the ‘Divine King Fengzhang’ and the ancestral land of the clan. Naturally, powerful formations were set up there, making it impossible to act within the city.

Whoosh.

The shadow silently followed the flying boat through the void.

…

The flying boat continued on its journey.

Morosa sat leisurely, enjoying the company of his disciple and daughter-in-law, who were helping serve wine and keeping him company in conversation.

Suddenly—

The previously relaxed Morosa furrowed his brow slightly.

With his perception, he sensed a shadow hidden within the layers of space rapidly approaching. From the methods of this shadow, it was definitely not an ordinary chaos-level being.

“Not good.” Morosa’s heart sank. “Judging by this shadow’s methods, it doesn’t seem like an ordinary chaos-level being. Either it’s a Divine King or at least a chaos-level transcendent.”

“Why would a powerful figure be

chasing this flying boat? I’ve been so low-key, never revealing my power. And my disciples are even weaker.”

“Could it be because of my master and we’re being implicated?”

Morosa immediately made a guess.

“Master, a being suspected to be a chaos-level transcendent or even Divine King level is about to attack us. If you don’t intervene, I won’t be able to hide my strength anymore.” Morosa immediately transmitted this message through his mind.

“Oh? They’re targeting you?” Luo Feng stopped his cultivation, focusing most of his awareness on the imprint in Moyu Qingyan’s palm.

Suddenly—

Moyu Qingyan was a little surprised. He sensed the imprint left by his master in his palm suddenly transforming into a droplet of water and flying out.

“What’s this?” Zhang Yunge, standing beside him, was also astonished as she watched the droplet of water appear out of nowhere.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a blurry shadow passed through the walls of the flying boat, attempting to sweep past Moyu Qingyan, Zhang Yunge, and Morosa.

“Quite bold,” Luo Feng’s voice echoed.

The droplet of water suddenly expanded, transforming into a water prison that instantly enveloped the blurry shadow.

“Hmm?” The shadow trapped within was forced to reveal itself. It was quite surprised, “Luo He? I didn’t expect that you’d have an avatar protecting your disciple. You really care about your disciple, huh?”

“Completely concealing your aura, hiding your identity.” Luo Feng couldn’t identify the figure’s true identity.

The aura of the other person didn’t match any of the intelligence he had on the Origin Continent’s experts, indicating that the person had deliberately concealed themselves.

“Being so cautious, are you a hired assassin?” Luo Feng understood well. The Origin Continent did have some ancient beings who took on assassination tasks, as it was a fast way to earn resources.

“There’s no need to hide it. I am a member of the Shadow Sky Realm.” The shadow said, “Since you, Luo He, are here, I will give you face and have my true body descend! Let’s see if you can protect your servant, your disciple!”

As soon as the words were spoken, the water prison abruptly contracted, completely obliterating the shadow inside.

The water droplet then transformed into Luo Feng’s figure.

“Master,” Morosa immediately bowed respectfully.

“Master,” Moyu Qingyan also quickly saluted.

“Greetings, Guardian.” Zhang Yunge was a bit nervous as this was her first time meeting the legendary Great Sage Luo He.

Luo Feng, however, looked into the distance, sensing a terrifying power approaching just ahead: “That old guy’s true body is arriving.”
