Chapter 285: The Highest Reward Points of the Infinite Space

Inside the Star Tower, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, his Eye of Life and Death open on his brow. He observed the countless treasures meticulously arranged before him: feathers, blood, bones, scales, and membranes, as well as leaves, branches, sap, roots, mists, strange liquids, and peculiar substances. It was a vast and varied collection, all sourced from low-level Primal Chaos lifeforms.

"I've collected approximately 5,000 samples of materials from low-level Primal Chaos lifeforms at the God Emperor early-stage, each averaging 300 Primal Chaos Crystals. In the Nine River Holy Realm, at the God Emperor early-stage level, I've gathered at least ninety percent of all low-level Primal Chaos lifeform materials related to life and destruction," Luo Feng thought.

He had bought everything available in Raindrop City, though these were naturally from low-level Primal Chaos lifeforms, specifically common parts, as the slightly more important parts were simply too expensive.

"For a single low-level Primal Chaos lifeform, while a feather contains relatively few secrets and mysteries, acquiring the secrets and mysteries from a dozen or so parts like blood, bones, and membranes should account for eighty to ninety percent of that lifeform's bloodline," Luo Feng pondered. He referred to this as his "poverty-style purchasing method."

If he were particularly wealthy, he could simply purchase a refined, complete Primal Chaos bloodline, or directly buy a life nucleus, both of which contain all the secrets and mysteries of a low-level Primal Chaos lifeform.

"There are only 200 samples of materials from low-level Primal Chaos lifeforms at the God Emperor mid-stage, averaging 3,500 Primal Chaos Crystals per sample. And for materials from low-level Primal Chaos lifeforms at the God Emperor late-stage, there are only 10 samples, averaging 40,000 Primal Chaos Crystals per sample."

"For low-level Primal Chaos lifeforms at the God Emperor peak-stage, I only managed to buy one bottle of ordinary blood for 390,000 Primal Chaos Crystals." Luo Feng felt quite helpless. The more powerful a low-level Primal Chaos lifeform, the stronger its bloodline evolution. Specifically, God Emperor peak-stage low-level Primal Chaos lifeforms, once strengthened to their limit, are just one awakening step away from potentially becoming high-level Primal Chaos lifeforms. Every God Emperor peak-stage Primal Chaos lifeform is extremely difficult to kill.

In all of Raindrop City, only three Hall Masters have any hope of defeating them in a one-on-one battle. Moreover, these three Hall Masters dare not act rashly, because low-level Primal Chaos lifeforms are not foolish; they live in groups and are naturally very cunning, often capable of setting up ambushes.

While the first-tier Primal Chaos lifeforms are far inferior to cultivators in terms of comprehension, their intelligence is no less than the average level on the Origin Continent. Want to kill them? Killing only the weakest, 'God Emperor early-stage' ones might be acceptable, as they are merely peripheral weaklings of their respective groups. However, those at the God Emperor peak-stage are high-ranking members or even leaders within their groups, and this level of Primal Chaos lifeform might even ally with each other.

This is also why cultivators must remain within the city; in a true group battle, cultivators cannot contend with low-level Primal Chaos lifeforms.

"If I relied on hunting by myself, collecting so many materials would be incredibly difficult," Luo Feng thought, observing the countless materials before him with his Eye of Life and Death. Yet, in the Nine River Holy Realm, such transactions were effortless. He could purchase a large quantity of auxiliary cultivation items, various weapons, secret treasures, and even different legacies in Raindrop City within the Nine River Holy Realm. However, this time, Luo Feng primarily used his funds to buy materials.

"Legacies? As Senior Yuan said, self-exploration is most suitable." Luo Feng deeply trusted Senior Yuan.

For instance, both Perfect Legacies and Special-Grade Legacies prohibit the dissemination of content beyond the God King level. This is due to harsh past lessons, which led Yuan and others to conclude that overly powerful legacies had too great an impact on cultivators, potentially destroying their path to transcend cultivation. While high-grade and mid-grade legacies had less impact, they still had an effect!

"To take everything as a teacher and explore my own path." Under the observation of his Eye of Life and Death, even seemingly ordinary golden blood revealed more than ten times the secrets and mysteries than when he observed it in Raindrop City.

In Raindrop City, his 'Imitation Eye of Life and Death' was still only considered a God Emperor-level observation secret technique, capable of perceiving only superficial patterns. Yet, the same bottle of blood, when viewed on the Origin Continent with the true Eye of Life and Death, appeared far more transparent and comprehensible.

"With the observational power of a high-level Primal Chaos lifeform, examining low-level Primal Chaos lifeform materials allows one to almost completely see through them." Luo Feng silently marveled, "Exchanging for the Eye of Life back then was truly worth it."

"These more than 5,000 samples of low-level Primal Chaos lifeform materials are the cornerstone of my cultivation path." Luo Feng understood that studying all these materials with his Eye of Life and Death would provide immense help to him.

Above the tall building of Huyang City's City Lord Manor.

"Molosa!" a voice called out.

Molosa paused slightly upon hearing the call, then instantly flew to the top of the pavilion, looking at his master, Luo Feng, who was drinking alone. "Master!" Molosa exclaimed excitedly, "You've emerged from secluded cultivation?"

In Raindrop City, whether it was entering secluded cultivation or going out hunting, Luo Feng on the Origin Continent was generally in a state of seclusion, only emerging occasionally when he had free time.

"Here are some gifts for you." Luo Feng waved his hand, and a complete set of weapons and secret treasures flew out. Molosa looked on with delighted surprise as the weapons and secret treasures hovered before him. After easily refining and familiarizing himself with them, the armor integrated into his body, the helmet merged with his skull, and a pair of gloves significantly sharpened his claws.

Furthermore, a formation diagram hovered beside him!

"A complete set of eight weapons and secret treasures, and all of them are powerful secret treasures of the Destruction path!" Molosa was extremely excited! On the Origin Continent, powerful secret treasures beyond the God King level are rare, and those suitable for one's own path are even scarcer. For instance, the set of weapons and secret treasures Luo Feng obtained after killing Diyuan were ultimately sold because they didn't suit him.

"Master, these are perfect for me. This set of secret treasures allows me to glimpse the path beyond the God King level." Molosa adored these treasures.

"You have hope of breaking through?" Luo Feng asked in surprise. "No hope!" Molosa shook his head helplessly. "Seeing the path beyond the God King level only makes me understand how difficult it is. I have no hope at all," Molosa said with a grin.

"However, with these weapons and secret treasures, my strength can skyrocket comprehensively. On the Origin Continent, apart from you few God Emperors, I am confident I can suppress anyone else." Even the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms would not possess such a comprehensive array of weapons and secret treasures as Molosa.

Luo Feng nodded with a smile, "Go on, then."

Luo Feng often entered secluded cultivation on the Origin Continent, and Molosa was the strongest under his command. Whether it was the Galaxy God Kingdom or the Blade River Sect, many matters required Molosa to preside over and appear. With a complete set of weapons and secret treasures, he could better deter the Emperor Lords and Monarchs. Of course, Molosa had also contributed significantly and diligently, so this was also a small reward.

"A complete set of God Emperor early-stage secret treasures is truly inexpensive," Luo Feng thought.

These weapons and secret treasures were all at the God Emperor early-stage level, meant for use by those below God Emperor in Raindrop City. Only the armor formation diagram was slightly more expensive, with the entire set of weapons and secret treasures costing only 35,000 Primal Chaos Crystals. This time, Luo Feng spent a total of 100,000 Primal Chaos Crystals for Molosa, as well as for the disciples and relatives of the Blade River Sect, purchasing weapons, secret treasures, and rare auxiliary items. Their strength was low, so buying the cheapest ones in Raindrop City was sufficient.

The precious medicines and treasures laboriously refined by the God King Ultimates in Raindrop City were sold at extremely low prices, barely earning them any labor fees.

"It's not that I'm unwilling to buy better weapons and secret treasures; it's just that you, Molosa, wouldn't be able to utilize them fully," Luo Feng said with a smile. As for other treasures, he wasn't in a hurry. Gifts should only be given with sufficient reason, for example, when a disciple achieves merit or advances to a new level of strength. They couldn't just be bestowed without cause.

The ancestors of both great ancient kingdoms required that rewards be exchanged for merit. As for preparing gifts for his master, Di Chu, ordinary treasures were already possessed by Master Di Chu as an Emperor Lord of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom. As for something too precious? Luo Feng was currently quite poor and decided to go hunting a few more times to become wealthier before preparing more gifts for his master. He believed his master could wait another one or two thousand epochs. "My Annihilation and Creation Path has reached the ultimate stage; it's time to claim my reward points," Luo Feng thought.

In the Infinite Space, on the island in the middle of the lake.

Luo Feng stood by the lake and began to practice the Annihilation and Creation Path. After fully comprehending the complete Annihilation and Creation Path, he executed its numerous techniques with effortless ease and natural flow. "World in Hand!"

A vast and immense illusory palm appeared, larger than the entire island in the middle of the lake, with a world being born in its center. Luo Feng was currently within this World in Hand.

Like a creation deity within a world, he casually wielded a supreme secret technique of his sect, even forming forbidden moves. Suddenly, Luo Feng noticed a message transmitting from the mark on his palm.

"The Infinite Space has finally confirmed my breakthrough," Luo Feng chuckled, then checked the message: "Trial Participant: Luo Feng of the Origin Continent, you have opened a complete new Grand Dao. This Grand Dao is furthermore formed by integrating Annihilation and Creation as its foundation, making its base far superior to ordinary Grand Daos. For this new Grand Dao, the evaluation is Perfect, granting 200,000 reward points. You have now received all reward points for opening a Grand Dao."

"Before transcending the cage, if your mind and will can transcend it first, you will also receive the highest reward for mind and will. Since the establishment of the Infinite Space, fewer than a hundred individuals have recently received the highest rewards for opening a Grand Dao and for their mind and will. More than 70% of them have already transcended the cage." The message also included a reminder: "Warning: Killing any mind creatures is strictly prohibited. Violators will be permanently expelled from the Infinite Space."

"Total reward points: 254,093.03." Luo Feng felt a surge of excitement.

"200,000 reward points?" This instantly made him much wealthier. To put it in perspective, the Eye of Life, which was immensely helpful for his cultivation path, only cost 120,000 reward points. He could now exchange for two similar treasures. Clearly, Senior Yuan and the others were willing to grant more rewards to those with higher talent.

"Fewer than a hundred individuals have received the highest rewards for both opening a Grand Dao and for their mind and will? And over 70% of them have transcended the cage?" Luo Feng considered the remaining two-odd percent who hadn't succeeded—either they had died or were still cultivating. The proportion of those who had transcended the cage was indeed very high.

"I am at the God Emperor level, yet my mind and will are to transcend the cage?" Luo Feng knew that the mind and will of those at the God Emperor late-stage and half-Primal Chaos level who had attained enlightenment should have reached the God Emperor peak-stage. Almost everyone who reached this extreme bottleneck in the Dark Holy Realm was like this. However, for mind and will to transcend the cage, that was merely a legend.

"I'll see just how difficult it is for my mind and will to transcend the cage." Luo Feng wasn't in a hurry; his mind and will had not yet touched the limits of the God Emperor level.
