Chapter 111: All Great Power Belongs to Oneself

“Guest Minister Luo He, please prepare yourself.” The old artifact spirit smiled slightly and then vanished into thin air.

At the same time, the vast amount of information about inheritances and resources in this chaotic space disappeared. Only a faint light remained, enveloping Luo Feng and transmitting a massive amount of information about the first tribulation of the *Eight Tribulation Lifeform* inheritance.

A flood of information continuously poured into Luo Feng’s memory. Even with his strong soul, it took him a long time to fully absorb it all.

Although Luo Feng had previously reviewed many inheritance introductions and gained knowledge, he was still profoundly shocked when he truly received the inheritance. For the first time, he realized just how powerful a true expert could be!

“I once directly faced the Great Dao of Life Origin, feeling that it was the embodiment of the concept of life, supreme and powerful.”

“But observing the first tribulation of the *Eight Tribulation Lifeform* inheritance, even getting a glimpse, I can sense... this creator is far more powerful than the complete Great Dao of Life Origin.”

This existence seemingly casually used information from the branches of the Great Dao of Life Origin to create secret techniques, progressing from simple to profound. These techniques were then combined to form the first tribulation.

The creation of these secret techniques felt like turning decay into wonder. This level of shock surpassed even the awe Luo Feng felt towards the Great Dao of Life Origin.

“No wonder even peak World Beasts only reside in first-rate nations like the Tianmu Nation, never daring to provoke the two ancient nations.” The more Luo Feng learned, the more he understood the true vastness of the universe.

*Buzz!* Luo Feng had just finished receiving the inheritance and was still in shock when he was teleported out of the Inheritance Hall, appearing at its entrance.

“Brother Luo He,” Marquis Chuyu said upon seeing Luo Feng.

Luo Feng no longer pondered and immediately said, “Brother Chuyu, I’ve kept you waiting.”

“It’s not even dark yet, it’s still early,” Marquis Chuyu replied with a smile.

“Oh, by the way, as a guest minister, your cave dwelling, attendants, and all other arrangements have been taken care of by my Di Chu lineage,” Marquis Chuyu explained. “Your disciples and servants have already gone ahead to the cave dwelling.”

“Oh?” Luo Feng was surprised. He had only just passed the application when entering the city, and now his cave dwelling and attendants were all arranged. The efficiency was truly impressive.

“Come, I’ll escort you there,” Marquis Chuyu said enthusiastically.

In the West City of Chudu, Marquis Chuyu led Luo Feng to an elegant cave dwelling.

The surrounding area was very quiet, filled with vast, large-scale cave dwellings. Those who resided here were either high-ranking members of the imperial or royal family, or Chaos Realm beings like Luo Feng.

“This is your cave dwelling,” Marquis Chuyu stated.

Luo Feng had already received his guest minister token, which naturally granted him control over the cave dwelling.

“From now on, this cave dwelling will permanently belong to Brother Luo He,” Marquis Chuyu said with a smile.

“Master (Teacher),” said Mo Luo Sa, who had sensed their arrival from within the cave dwelling. He led Mo Yu Qingyan and ten servants to the main entrance to greet them.

Luo Feng and Marquis Chuyu entered together.

As the dwelling of a Chaos Realm guest minister, this cave dwelling spanned hundreds of millions of kilometers. Its formidable array could even draw upon a trace of Chudu’s power, ensuring its security.

While this range was not considered vast for a Chaos Realm being—to the extent that practicing some secret techniques still required retreating into spatial treasures—

Luo Feng, for instance, possessed a divine body as tall as the heavens, which could not be freely displayed in the outside world.

“The array of this cave dwelling can actually tap into a trace of Chudu’s power. I can feel that even if I exerted all my strength... I probably couldn’t shake it.” As Luo Feng took control of the dwelling, he naturally sensed the immense power that could be mobilized, a force so vast it could easily crush him.

“After all, Chudu was refined by the ancestor of my Blazing Wind Ancient Nation,” Marquis Chuyu said with a faint smile.

“By the way, Brother Chuyu, there’s something I need to trouble you with,” Luo Feng began.

“Brother Luo He, there’s no need for formalities between us,” Marquis Chuyu replied with a smile. Luo Feng was his only guest minister, and thus his most crucial aid on his cultivation path.

Luo Feng said, “I have a relative who serves as a vice-general in the city guard of Yinjiu City, located in the ‘Northern Vulture Chaos State’ of the Blazing Wind Ancient Nation.”

“Why is he in such a dangerous border region?” Marquis Chuyu asked, surprised.

“That’s why I need your help, Brother Chuyu, to bring him to Chudu,” Luo Feng explained.

Marquis Chuyu pondered for a moment, then said, “Since he is your relative, Brother Luo He, it’s best not to arrange his transfer openly. The other first-rank marquises are likely watching me, and it would be troublesome if they interfered.”

Luo Feng nodded.

“I’ll send a team of my personal guards with my token to Yinjiu City in the Northern Vulture Chaos State! They will directly retrieve that vice-general. As a first-rank marquis of the imperial family, I have the authority to recruit personal troops. Recruiting a mere vice-general is well within my power,” Marquis Chuyu stated.

“In that case, let Mo Luo Sa accompany them,” Luo Feng suggested.

Luo Feng was concerned about unforeseen incidents.

If he, a peak Chaos Realm guest minister, went personally, it would raise suspicions among those with ulterior motives. Sending a servant who outwardly appeared to be an Eternal True God would be inconspicuous.

“You only need to inform Mo Luo Sa of your relative’s identity; that way, it won’t be leaked,” Marquis Chuyu said. “Once in Yinjiu City, have Mo Luo Sa lead my personal guards with the token to retrieve the vice-general.”

“Brother Chuyu, you truly are thoughtful,” Luo Feng remarked.

“You have no idea how fierce and brutal the internal competition within the imperial family is,” Marquis Chuyu shook his head. “Among us first-rank marquises, we dare not kill each other! But our guest ministers and subordinates... they face mortal danger.”

Luo Feng understood. On the path of Dao cultivation, everything was a struggle.

Since he had entered the game, Luo Feng had never been afraid.

Although entering the game posed risks, the benefits were numerous. For instance, the newly acquired first tribulation of the *Eight Tribulation Lifeform* inheritance alone was enough to bring about a transformative change within him.

“Mo Luo Sa,” Luo Feng immediately transmitted telepathically, “Later, lead a detachment of Marquis Chuyu’s personal guards and quietly travel to Yinjiu City in the Northern Vulture Chaos State to bring back Original Ancestor.”

“Bring back Original Ancestor?” Mo Luo Sa knew of the relationship between Luo Feng and Original Ancestor.

Among the human race who had passed through reincarnation to reach the Origin Continent, only Luo Feng and Original Ancestor remained.

Original Ancestor, in terms of seniority, was Luo Feng’s grand-master.

Their relationship was closer, even more so than Mo Luo Sa’s with Luo Feng.

“Only you and I know Original Ancestor’s identity,” Luo Feng telepathically transmitted. “This mission must be kept secret.”

“Don’t worry, Master,” Mo Luo Sa replied. “If any unforeseen incidents or dangers arise on the way...”

“If Original Ancestor’s life is endangered, you are permitted to display your Chaos Realm strength,” Luo Feng responded. “Ensure his safety at all costs.”

“Understood. I will place Original Ancestor into a spatial treasure when the time comes, and I will not expose my strength unless absolutely necessary.” Mo Luo Sa was also very cautious in the Blazing Wind Ancient Nation; he, too, was waiting for his master to grow stronger.

When the conditions were more suitable, revealing Chaos Realm strength would be unremarkable.

Later that day.

Mo Luo Sa led a detachment of Marquis Chuyu’s personal guards, piloting a small flying vessel, quietly departing Chudu. This vessel traversed the void at extreme speeds, yet it would still take five days to reach the Northern Vulture Chaos State.

After informing Original Ancestor of the news, Luo Feng immediately entered secluded cultivation that very evening.

Inside the quiet room was a Star Tower. Within its internal space, Luo Feng began to comprehend the newly acquired first tribulation of the *Eight Tribulation Lifeform* inheritance.

“In the past, I was ignorant and naive.”

“However, this inheritance truly reveals the nature of the Caged World and even hints at information beyond it,” Luo Feng mused to himself. He felt like a human looking up at the starry sky for the very first time.

Only by looking up at the stars did one realize how vast the cosmos truly was.

“The vast region governed by the supreme rules—the Origin Continent and its surrounding three thousand primal universes—are all parts of the Caged World.”

“In the world I live in, everything is influenced by the supreme rules: the birth of life, passing through reincarnation, transmigration, mini-universes, life spans, flow of time, spatial stability, divine body levels... everything is determined by the supreme rules.”

“The divine body level achieved upon becoming a True God even determines one’s entire future life.”

If one becomes a True God with an infinite divine body, then they will remain an infinite divine body as a Void True God, Eternal True God, Chaos Realm being, and even a God King.

If one becomes a True God with a perfect divine body, then they will remain a perfect divine body at every subsequent stage.

“The size of the divine body and the reserve of divine power—an infinite divine body can ‘change size at will.’ My perfect divine body, for example, is larger than an infinite divine body, and its divine power is purer. It also possesses the ability of ‘formlessness and shapelessness’,” Luo Feng thought. “Are these abilities something I comprehended and mastered myself? No! They are bestowed by the supreme rules!”

The supreme rules dictate the maximum height of your divine body.

The supreme rules bestow upon you the ability of formlessness and shapelessness.

The supreme rules ensure that the mini-universes of cultivators in the Origin Continent are all located in the starry sky.

Everything is governed by rules!

“Formlessness and shapelessness is not an ability I gained from comprehending the essence myself; it is an ability bestowed by the supreme rules,” Luo Feng considered. “And according to the *Eight Tribulation Lifeform* inheritance, truly powerful cultivators initially live within the cage, absorbing knowledge from it. Afterward, they must break through the cage... all great power must originate from oneself.”

“Only beings who break through the cage can claim that all their power is not bestowed by the supreme rules, but rather stems from the ‘Dao’ they have mastered themselves.”

Luo Feng once felt complacent about his perfect divine body and abilities like ‘formlessness and shapelessness.’

But now, having seen this inheritance...

In the eyes of this inheritance’s creator, cultivators within the cage had not yet broken through the ‘supreme rule’ cage.

There were two types of cages.

One was the world cage, literally a barrier protecting all beings.

The other was the cage of supreme rules.

Only by breaking through all cages and achieving ‘all great power originating from oneself’ could one truly embark on the path of the Great Dao.

One even had to forge their own Great Dao!

“If the *Eight Tribulation Lifeform* inheritance is this extraordinary, then what level are the other expensive inheritances?” Luo Feng wondered to himself. “The Lords of the Yu Nation and the Shi Nation are also guest ministers of the Blazing Wind Ancient Nation; they must be able to exchange for some powerful inheritances.”

Exchanging for inheritances was one thing; cultivating them to a high level was another.

“I was somewhat arrogant before. Avenging my master will not be an easy task.”

The more one knew, the more humble one became.

After seeing numerous inheritances, particularly some terrifying methods cultivated with Primal Chaos energy and materials, Luo Feng clearly understood that even in terms of life-saving ability, he was inferior to the first tribulation of the *Eight Tribulation Lifeform* and likely fell short of some ancient God Kings.

“My master, Seated Mountain Guest, was able to escape the pursuit of the three Lords of the Shi Nation, which clearly indicates his extraordinary abilities.” With his expanded knowledge, Luo Feng gained a more accurate assessment of his master’s true strength.

Currently, he was still quite a bit weaker than his master.

Luo Feng then stopped pondering and immersed himself in cultivating this inheritance.
