Chapter 214: Evaluation of Infinite Space

Within the 'Infinite Space,' a treasure land on the Primal Continent, Luo Feng sat cross-legged on an ordinary island in the middle of a lake. His terrifying spiritual will gently spread outwards, subtly distorting the surrounding space.

A hum sounded, and a message immediately appeared from the imprint on Luo Feng's palm:

"Trial Taker: Luo Feng from Primal Continent"

"You have pioneered a new Grand Dao based on the Grand Daos of Life and Destruction. Evaluation of new Grand Dao: High-grade. Reward points: 10,000. You have finally taken the first step on this new Grand Dao; further effort is required."

"Your spiritual will has successfully broken through the limits of a God-King before you mastered a complete Grand Dao. Evaluation of spiritual will: Special-grade. Reward points: 100,000. Your spiritual will is exceptionally outstanding. Perhaps you can go even further?"

"Warning: Killing any mind-creature is prohibited. Violators will be expelled permanently from Infinite Space."

"Total reward points: 108,193.03."

Luo Feng couldn't help but smile with delight as he read the message. He was rich! Finally, he was rich!

The treasury of Infinite Space was more appealing than many other treasure lands. Its only drawback was how difficult it was to obtain reward points! These 100,000 reward points finally gave Luo Feng a sense of abundance.

"An extra warning?" Luo Feng also noticed. "Prohibited from killing any mind-creatures?"

"That makes sense," he mused. "Every cultivator who descends into Infinite Space obtains an ordinary God-King level body! Once their spiritual will breaks through the limits of a God-King... they would be virtually invincible in Infinite Space and could wantonly slaughter a large number of mind-creatures."

Luo Feng understood the reasoning behind the rule. If it weren't prohibited, few mind-creatures in Infinite Space would survive! Of course, even with the prohibition, his clone would remain here. The inheritances and resources obtained here were far superior to those of the two ancient kingdoms. Perhaps this was also why Emperor Ming lingered here.

"Wait, Emperor Ming is staying here, but Lord of Myriad Worlds, Emperor Qing, and others whose spiritual wills also transcend the God-King limit haven't lingered," Luo Feng speculated as he looked at his own message. "If one's spiritual will breaks through the God-King limit *before* mastering a complete Grand Dao, the reward is 100,000 points. For someone like Lord of Myriad Worlds, whose spiritual will only broke through *after* reaching the Ultimate Realm, perhaps the evaluation drops to high-grade? And the reward points are only 10,000?"

"I understand why they didn't stay," Luo Feng nodded slightly. Since Lord of Myriad Worlds and Emperor Qing received fewer reward points, it was understandable for them to temporarily withdraw from Infinite Space if they weren't confident in reaching sufficiently high realms on new Grand Daos beyond their existing paths.

"With a Special-grade evaluation for spiritual will, it should just be me and Emperor Ming in the entire Primal Continent," he thought. "To pioneer a new Grand Dao and achieve a Special-grade evaluation, I wonder what the threshold is," Luo Feng mused inwardly. Given his achievements in the Grand Dao of Life and Destruction, he only received a high-grade evaluation. A Special-grade evaluation had too high a threshold. This also proved how precious the reward points were!

Luo Feng began browsing the treasury of Infinite Space. With over 100,000 points, the amount of treasury information visible to him significantly increased. Numerous inheritance details appeared, and with a quick glance, Luo Feng spotted the information ranked seventh.

The seventh-ranked inheritance: 'Eight Tribulations Life Form,' sixth, seventh, and eighth tribulations. Requires 100,000 reward points to exchange. Can cultivate up to a 'Semi-Chaos Origin Life Form.' Note: The conceptualized 'Ninth Tribulation' of this inheritance has a possibility of realization; once completed, one can transcend the cage.

"That high?" Luo Feng was startled. The first five tribulations of 'Eight Tribulations Life Form' cumulatively cost just over 10,000 reward points, covering all stages of God-King cultivation. Yet, reaching beyond God-King to 'Semi-Chaos Origin Life Form' required such an exorbitant price.

"Yuan recorded this inheritance and even believes that once the Ninth Tribulation is completed, one might transcend the cage?" Luo Feng's regard for this inheritance greatly increased. "I only have a little over 100,000 points in total, so I'll have to set this aside for now."

He couldn't spend all his reward points on an inheritance he couldn't use immediately. His most crucial goal now was to first reach the Ultimate Realm. Beyond God-King? That was still a distant goal for him. Moreover, according to the information he'd gathered from Special-grade inheritances, the foundation for each stage of a God-King needed to be incredibly solid, so these reward points absolutely had to be utilized!

"'World Life Form,' third volume (Special-grade inheritance). Requires 60,000 reward points to exchange. God-King Ultimate Realm volume."

"'Chaos Cavern Beast Body,' third volume (Special-grade inheritance). Requires 60,000 reward points to exchange. God-King Ultimate Realm volume."

Luo Feng also saw the information he was looking for. Special-grade inheritances in Infinite Space could only be exchanged up to the God-King Ultimate Realm volume! Luo Feng perused a large amount of inheritance information. Even a perfect-grade inheritance's God-King Second Stage volume required 10,000 reward points. As for the reward points needed for the Ultimate Realm volume, Luo Feng couldn't see them yet.

"Let's look at the treasures instead," Luo Feng decided. He didn't rush to exchange for inheritances and began to browse the various treasures first.

The first-ranked treasure: A Chaos Origin Heart. Requires 100,081 reward points to exchange. By integrating it into one's body, one can obtain a Chaos Origin Body and achieve extremely high compatibility with all origin Grand Daos! Recommendation: Exchange only if you have comprehended a Grand Dao branch in at least five origin Grand Daos! Note: Once you achieve at least the God-King Second Stage in more than half of the Grand Daos within the supreme rules, you will have the potential to control the supreme rules and become the Master of a Source World!

The second-ranked treasure: A Miniature Source World. Requires 100,081 reward points to exchange. Suitable for cultivators of the World Origin Grand Dao. Can be refined into one of the worlds within one's body, offering infinite wondrous uses.

The third-ranked treasure: A Chaos Origin Life Research Vessel. Requires 100,000 reward points to exchange. Suitable for cultivators of the Life Origin Grand Dao. Recommendation: Suitable for researching Chaos Origin bloodlines, aiding in the ultimate awakening of Chaos Origin bloodlines, and transcending the cage.

The top-ranked treasures left Luo Feng bewildered. A few pieces of information, in particular, made his heart pound.

"More than half of the Grand Daos within the supreme rules, each reaching at least God-King Second Stage, and then there's hope of becoming a Master of a Source World?"

"Ultimate awakening of Chaos Origin bloodline can also transcend the cage?"

Even without purchasing many of these treasures, Luo Feng gained some secret intelligence.

Luo Feng continued to scroll through the items. He was tempted again and again, but Luo Feng knew clearly that the opportunity to purchase would always be there! However, he only had so many reward points, so he had to 'maximize their utilization.'

Common 'Transcendent God-King level' weapon-secret treasures generally ranged from 12,500 to 50,000 points! The most expensive was only 50,000 points.

"Transcendent God-King level weapon-secret treasures generally have an effect of resisting spiritual will, with varying strengths," Luo Feng observed as he read the simple descriptions of these secret treasures. For instance, the most expensive secret treasure, priced at 50,000 points, according to its description, weakened all attacks by ninety percent, provided they did not originate from a Semi-Chaos Origin Life Form! 'All attacks' included spiritual will attacks, soul attacks, karma attacks, and various other forms of assault, all of which could be weakened.

"Who refined these secret treasures?" Luo Feng muttered to himself.

With a considerable sum of reward points in hand, Luo Feng felt a bit overwhelmed. He wanted this, he wanted that! Because many treasures at this level could provide immense help to Luo Feng. The only problem was the scarcity of reward points.

"No matter what, comprehending Grand Daos is the foundation," he affirmed. "First, I'll exchange for the cheapest item: the 'Lotus Core Seed'." Luo Feng had previously exchanged for the 'Scale of Destruction,' and the cheapest treasure compatible with the Life Origin Grand Dao was the Lotus Core Seed, costing 18,000 reward points.

"Exchange," Luo Feng said without hesitation. His reward points immediately decreased to 90,193.03.

Considering future inheritance exchanges, he naturally needed to think more carefully about treasures. His spiritual will had just broken through, and his Grand Daos of Life and Destruction were on the verge of reaching the God-King Second Stage. Luo Feng planned to wait until his strength was fully stabilized before choosing treasures based on his capabilities at that time.

In the quiet room of the City Lord's Mansion in Huyang City, inside the Star Tower. Luo Feng held a shimmering, multicolored seed in his hand, feeling in excellent spirits.

"Senior Yuan left Infinite Space on the Primal Continent, and the more outstanding a cultivator is, the greater the benefits they receive," Luo Feng thought, his mood soaring. "With the Lotus Core Seed and the Scale of Destruction, he would achieve incredibly high compatibility with both the Grand Daos of Life and Destruction."

Figures like Emperor Guixu, Lord of Mother River, and Earth God-King, all of whom were outstanding, had once received treasures left by Yuan, even Transcendent God-King level treasures, yet their fates had been rather tragic.

A thought struck Luo Feng, and he looked towards the Star Tower. "In the Infinite Space treasury, Transcendent God-King level weapon-secret treasures range from a little over 10,000 to 50,000 points. I wonder what the value of my Star Tower is," Luo Feng mused. With that thought, his spiritual will began to permeate the Star Tower.

This was the first time he had carefully observed the Star Tower since his spiritual will had broken through. His spiritual will began to penetrate the interior of the Star Tower.

"Hm? It's different from before!" Luo Feng was pleasantly surprised to find his powerful spiritual will rapidly permeating deeper layers of the Star Tower, as endless, profound secret patterns emerged in his consciousness.

"These secret patterns?" Luo Feng was puzzled. The profundity of these secret patterns deep within the Star Tower had greatly increased, far surpassing that of a complete origin Grand Dao! Luo Feng couldn't understand them at all.

Innumerable secret patterns spiraled deeper and deeper. Luo Feng's spiritual will followed the direction of these spiraling patterns, constantly delving further. The deeper he went, the more vast and complex the secret patterns became.

"Is this the hidden side of the Star Tower?" Luo Feng's spiritual will continued to penetrate, discerning more secret patterns. When he permeated to an extremely deep level, time suddenly came to a standstill.

"Strange," he thought. Luo Feng could feel that all his other clones were in a state of temporal stasis, clearly indicating that he had stopped at this moment in time! Yet, the spiritual will of this particular clone continued its exploration.

Although he couldn't understand the secret patterns, they became increasingly beautiful, even iridescent. Predominantly blood-red, they also shimmered with various other colors: black, cyan, emerald green, purple, and more.

Boom!

Luo Feng didn't know how long he had been permeating, but finally, his spiritual will 'saw' it. It was an existence hidden deep within the very core of the Star Tower.

"A scale?" Luo Feng looked on with curiosity. A single scale, concealed deep within the Star Tower. It was blood-red, but its edges shimmered with a full twelve colors. This scale, within the Star Tower, seemed to naturally influence everything, much like the supreme rules within a source world.

"It's not truly a physical existence," Luo Feng, as the master of the Star Tower, had a feeling. "This scale *was* the Star Tower! The Star Tower *was* the scale! The two were one. What he had peered into was merely the 'external manifestation' of profound rule mysteries."
